The quality of food and the safety of food are the two most important factors that have gained the attention of the general consumer in India. Organic farming is a system that avoids the use of synthetically compounded fertilizers, livestock food additives, genetically modified organisms, growth regulators, and pesticides. It is an agricultural process that uses pest control acquired from plant or animal waste and biological fertilizers.

 

The Advantages of Organic Farming

 

1. Environment

 Organic farming helps in protecting the environment as the products are free of chemicals and fertilizers. It improves physio-biological properties of soil consisting of more biomass, higher enzymes, organic matter, enhanced water percolation, wind erosion, better soil stability as compared to conventional farming soil.

 

2. Nutritional Values:

The nutritional values of organic and conventionally grown foods have created an interest in both consumers and producers while increasing the demand for an organic product. The soil with high organic matter resists soil erosion and holds water needs less irrigation.

The need for spending an extra amount is deducted. There is no use of expensive fertilizers, HYV, pesticides are required for the plantation of crops in organic farming.
