(N/A) Organic farming is a method of farming that primarily aims at cultivating the land and raising crops in such a way,as to keep the soil alive and in good health by use of organic wastes (crop,animal and farm wastes,aquatic wastes like algae) and other biological materials along with beneficial microbes (biofertilizers) instead of chemical fertilizers.
Benefits of organic farming include:
$1$. Sustainability: It maintains soil fertility and ecological balance,ensuring long-term agricultural productivity.
$2$. Environmental Protection: It reduces pollution by eliminating the use of synthetic chemical fertilizers and pesticides,which often contaminate groundwater and soil.
$3$. Soil Health: It improves soil structure,water-holding capacity,and nutrient content through the addition of organic matter (compost/manure).
$4$. Biodiversity: It promotes a healthy ecosystem by supporting a variety of beneficial insects,microorganisms,and plants,which helps in natural pest control.
$5$. Healthier Produce: Organic crops are free from toxic chemical residues,making them safer and healthier for human consumption.
