What is Organic Farming ?

 Organic farming has become trending again recently in 21 century. The microorganisms in the soil compost the organic wastes well and deliver the nutrients in them to the soil. It is absorbed by crops. Microbes release nutrients slowly and evenly. Thus good yields can be obtained in such an ecosystem.

According to the American Organic Agriculture Research Council, "Organic farming is crop protection, crop protection and the use of natural fertilizers by avoiding synthetic fertilizers and pesticides as much as possible"

According to the Food and Agriculture Research Institute. Crop culture is a method of maintaining the health of the environment with biological activities and organic wastes. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it adopts agronomic, biological, and mechanical methods that protect the natural environment. ”

Why Organic Farming?

Scientists have realized that we have achieved the green revolution in agriculture with more inputs and thereby achieved self-sufficiency. They, therefore, claim that the adoption of organic farming that can protect natural health, avoiding the chemical farming system that has an adverse effect, is of immense service to future generations. It is important to know the way to maximize the yield in organic farming as the human population is growing tremendously.

Characteristics of organic farming 

• Maintaining the organic matter of the soil, increasing the activity of soil microorganisms, careful mechanical infiltration- will help to 
• Then organic wastes provide nutrients to crops by degradation. Crops absorb these nutrients with the help of microorganisms.
• Utilization of suitable crop type for soil Nutrient self-sufficiency is achieved through bio-nutrient stabilization and rotation of organic matter.
• Protection from weeds, pests, and disease - all three are achieved through the use of crop rotation natural enemies, moderate chemical intervention, the use of resistant crops, and organic fertilization.
• Natural (organic) fodder for livestock is not only non-toxic but also used properly without wasting livestock waste.
• Focusing on agriculture makes it possible to conserve wildlife and natural habitat.
