    Introduction to Organic Farming

    Organic farming is a method that relies on


    natural processes and cycles to produce food.

    It avoids the use of synthetic fertilizers,


    pesticides, and genetically modified organisms
    (GMOs).

    Organic farming aims to promote soil and water


    conservation, biodiversity, and animal welfare.

    1
    Benefits of Organic Farming

    Organic farming produces healthier food with


    higher nutrient content and fewer harmful
    residues.

    It promotes soil fertility and biodiversity,


    reduces soil erosion, and conserves water
    resources.

    Organic farming supports sustainable


    agriculture and rural development, creates job
    opportunities, and improves food security.

    2
    Organic Farming Practices

    Crop rotation, green manure, and composting


    are used to improve soil health and fertility.

    Natural pest control methods such as crop


    diversification and biological control are used
    to manage pests and diseases.

    Livestock is raised in free-range systems with


    access to pasture and natural feed, and without
    the use of growth hormones or antibiotics.

    3
    Organic Certification

    Organic certification is a process that ensures


    that organic farming practices and standards are
    met.

    The certification process involves inspection,


    documentation, and testing of soil, water, and
    produce.

    Organic certification is required to label and sell


    products as organic.

    4
    Challenges and Opportunities

    Organic farming faces challenges such as high


    production costs, limited market access, and
    competition from conventional agriculture.

    However, organic farming provides


    opportunities for innovation, research, and
    development of sustainable agriculture
    practices.

    The demand for organic products is growing


    globally, creating market opportunities for
    organic farmers.

    5
    Conclusion

    Organic farming is a sustainable and


    environmentally friendly method of food
    production.

    It promotes soil and water conservation,


    biodiversity, and animal welfare.

    Organic farming provides numerous benefits


    and opportunities for sustainable agriculture and
    rural development.
