Organic farming is just farming without the use of chemical fertilizers and other practices that are not only harmful to human beings but is also damaging for the environment.
Organic farming relies on crop rotation, composting, earth friendly methods of pest control and other ecologically safe solutions. Organic farmers limit their use of pesticides, herbicides, anti-biotic and other practices that have detrimental effects on our planet. Organic farmers do not only grow vegetables and fruit. Organic farmers also raise livestock that have been fed organically grown feeds. These animals are raised in an environment where they are “grass fed”, “raised in pasture”, and other practices deemed by the National Organic Stanarard. as “animal-friendly”. In these farms, animals are treated as humanely as possible as opposed to commercial farms.
Organic farming also protects the long-term fertility of the soil. By adapting methods that keep the soil healthy, organic farmers balance the crops they plant and the welfare of the soil.
The environment also gets a boost from organic farming. Organic farmers make sure that by using only the safest and earth friendly methods, our planet is protected from further damage. The impact organic farming has on our environment has helped preserve the quality of our soil, the health of our animals, conserve wildlife and game and helped us human beings become healthier.
