Question: What is Organic Farming?
There is no clear universally accepted definition of organic farming. However, we can look at some various ideals surrounding the term organic farming.
Answer:
In general, most consider organic farming a specific production system which aims to avoid the use of synthetic and harmful pesticides, fertilizers, growth regulators and livestock feed additives.
Almost all organic farming systems rely on what some call, "Alternative farming methods" such as crop rotation, mechanical cultivation, animal manures, green manure and integrated pest management to maintain healthy soil, grow healthy plants and to control pests and weeds. The kicker is that these alternative farming methods are older, from a historical perspective, than newer farming methods that include using pesticides and other synthetic farming applications.
