What is organic farming?

Organic farming is an agricultural method that prioritizes the use of natural and sustainable practices to grow crops and raise livestock. It avoids the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and growth hormones. Instead, organic farmers rely on methods such as crop rotation, composting, and natural pest control to maintain soil fertility and prevent pests and diseases. They also use natural sources of nutrients and encourage biodiversity to create a balanced ecosystem. Organic farming promotes the health of both the environment and consumers by reducing chemical runoff, preserving biodiversity, and producing food that is free from harmful residues. It supports sustainable farming practices, promotes animal welfare, and ensures the nutritional value and purity of the food produced.
