Organic farming

Organic farming 

Organic framing is the type of agriculture that is dependent on techniques such as crop rotation, green fertilizer compost and biological pest control to maintain soil productivity and control pests on farm .Organic farming strictly limits the use of artificial fertilizers and pesticides, for the plant growth regulators such as hormones, livestock antibiotics and genetically customized organisms.

“The Organic agriculture is the huge system for production that lasts the health of soils, people and eco systems. It depends on techniques, biodiversity truths and cycles involved in local scenarios and situations, instead of using poor input which ultimately leads to the poor output. Organic agriculture combines and aggregates the traditional processes, improvement and organic science to benefit the shared environment and promote fair relationships and a good quality of life for all involved.

Rules for Organic Farming
Organic farming and organic production of food  have some other basic rules:

•  No use of chemical fertilizers or artificial drugs.
•  No use of genetically modified organisms.
•  Avoidance from soil loss and erosion.
•  Promotion of ‘bio diversity’ – support a range of crops, not a single species.

An approach to farming based on biological methods that avoid the use of artificial crop or livestock production inputs and on a broadly defined philosophy of farming that puts value on ecological harmony, resource efficiency, and non-serious animal husbandry practices.

Types of organic farming

Pure organic farming: 

It includes use of organic manures, bio pesticides with complete avoidance of inorganic chemicals and pesticides.

Integrated farming

It includes incorporated nutrient management and integrated pests. Management integrated farming system in this type local; Resources are effectively recycled by involving other components such as poultry and it is low input organic farming.

Benefits of Organic Farming

1. Organic farming proves to be more profitable than the age old traditional farming methods.

2. It has been found that organic farming reduces the production cost by about 25-30%, as it does not involve the use of artificial fertilizers and pesticides, which thus makes organic farming cost effective.

3. Soil is the most important component in farming and organic farming preserves soil by reducing soil erosion up to a large extent.

4. Organic farming also enables the farmers to use the soil for a longer period of time to grow crops as soil productiveness is maintained for a long time.

5. Organic farming has a positive effect on the ecosystem, as it proves vital in supporting the survival of wildlife in the lowlands. It even provides safe pasture lands for grazing

6.  Organic farming is not only beneficial for farmers, but it also has proved useful for the dairy industry. Cattle that are gazed in the farm green fields provides more safe milk. . These are definitely good signs for a consumer of these dairy products from health perspective and for a dairy organization from the profit perspective.

7. Products or foodstuffs produced from organic farming neither do not contain any sort of artificial flavors or preservatives nor do they contain any harmful chemicals.

8. The original nutritional content of food is preserved due to the absence of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.

9. Organic products moreover are tastier than the products yielded from traditional farming.

10. Only natural fertilizers (such as manure) are used, the food is said to taste better and be healthier, the crops are grown without the use of machinery which creates more jobs for farmers. However, fewer crops are grown because they are harvested by hand, which means that the food is more expensive to buy which is difficult for people below the poverty line.
