WHAT DOES ORGANIC FARMING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

organic farming

Organic farming

Organic farming is a form of agriculture that relies on techniques such as crop rotation, green manure, compost, and biological pest control. Depending on whose definition is used, organic farming uses fertilizers and pesticides if they are considered natural, but it excludes or strictly limits the use of various methods for reasons including sustainability, openness, independence, health, and safety. Organic agricultural methods are internationally regulated and legally enforced by many nations, based in large part on the standards set by the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements, an international umbrella organization for organic farming organizations established in 1972. The USDA National Organic Standards Board definition as of April 1995 is: “Organic agriculture is an ecological production management system that promotes and enhances biodiversity, biological cycles and soil biological activity. It is based on minimal use of off-farm inputs and on management practices that restore, maintain and enhance ecological harmony." Since 1990 the market for organic food and other products has grown rapidly, reaching $63 billion worldwide in 2012.
