Organic farming is a means of producing food and fiber, including produce, grains, meat, dairy, eggs, cotton, and flowers, that is better for the environment and healthier than conventional farming. Instead of using pesticides, organic farmers try to develop a biological diversity in their fields that disrupts the habitats of pests. Organic farming also focuses on the maintenance and replenishment of soil fertility. Organic farmers do not use synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
