Overview
Organic agriculture is an ecological production management system that promotes and enhances biodiversity, biological cycles, and soil biological activity. It relies on ecological processes, biodiversity, and cycles adapted to local conditions, rather than the use of synthetic inputs (such as synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and genetically modified organisms) with external inputs. Organic agriculture is an environmentally friendly and sustainable form of production that does not use synthetic inputs to increase yields. It is an important way to reduce the environmental impact of farming and to ensure the production of safe and nutritious food. Organic agriculture helps maintain soil fertility, encourages beneficial insect activity, reduces pesticide use, and helps protect water supplies from contamination. Organic agriculture also promotes the preservation of traditional farming knowledge and practices, and can be beneficial to local economic development and the maintenance of rural communities.
