What is organic farming? Organic farming is a method of crop and livestock production which is more complex than simply not using chemical pesticides and fertilizers, Organic farming means to: –protect the environment, minimize soil degradation and erosion, decrease pollution, and promote a sound state of health –maintain soil fertility by optimizing conditions for biological activity within the soil –maintain biological diversity within the system –recycle materials and resources to the greatest extent possible within the enterprise

Origin of organic farming Organic farming is the oldest method of farming, used by farmers until post world War II The war brought technologies that were useful for agricultural production Ex: ammonium nitrate used for munitions during World War II evolved into ammonium nitrate fertilizer; organophosphate nerve gas led to the development of powerful insecticides.

Positive aspects Organic farming has several positive aspects about it, some of which are: –Minimizes waste and environment damages –Improves soil conditions –and promote agro ecosystem flexibility, and continuous production for the nourishment and best development of all

Negative aspects Some say that organic farming cannot keep up with today’s demand for products and may not be able to feed everyone within the world. The price of organic products is much higher than that of chemically grown products.
