Organic Farming
Abstract: Organic farming is an agricultural production management system that excludes all synthetic off-farm inputs and instead relies on on-farm agronomic, biological, and mechanical practices. This sustainable approach focuses on methods such as crop rotations, the use of crop residues, animal manures, off-farm organic waste, and mineral-grade rock additives to maintain soil fertility and health. Organic farming also employs biological systems for nutrient mobilization and plant protection, reducing or eliminating the …
