The present invention provides a method for discriminating an organic
farmland from a conventional farmland, comprising; (a) measuring an
amount of nitrogen isotope in a soil sample of a farmland; (b)
calculating a nitrogen isotope index according to the formula (I) using
the resultant nitrogen isotope value and (c) determining whether the
farmland belongs to an organic farmland or a conventional farmland.
According to the present invention, it is possible to objectively
discriminate an organic farmland from a conventional farmland or
discriminate an organic crop from a conventional crop.
