Overview

Organic agriculture, also known as ecological farming or biological farming, is a method of farming that emphasizes the use of naturally occurring, non-synthetic inputs and techniques such as crop rotation, companion planting, and mixed cropping. This approach to farming has grown to become a significant player in the global agricultural industry. Organic agriculture is defined as an integrated farming system that strives for sustainability, the enhancement of soil fertility and biological diversity, while prohibiting synthetic pesticides, antibiotics, synthetic fertilizers, genetically modified organisms, and growth hormones. According to some sources, organic agriculture can help mitigate climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting soil carbon sequestration.
