ORGANIC FARMING
Organic farming is a technique, which involves the cultivation of plants in natural ways. This process involves the use of biological materials, avoiding synthetic substances to maintain soil fertility and ecological balance. Organic farming uses fewer pesticides, reduces soil erosion, decreases nitrate leaching into groundwater and surface water, and recycles animal wastes back into the farm. It boosts biodiversity, which enhances productivity and resilience and contributes to a healthy farming system.
