Organic Farming Vs Conventional Farming

Organic farming is a specific type of agricultural production which is used to produce fiber and food which restricts farmers from using harmful synthetic pesticides. Organic Agriculture is an ecological production management that encourage and enhances biological cycles, biodiversity, and soil biological activity.  All produce meat, grains, dairy, eggs, and fibers must be derived in an organic way. An organic farmer depends on increasing biological diversity in the field to disrupt habitat for pest organisms and maintain soil fertility. By allowing farm animals access to the outdoors and feeding them 100% organic food, a healthier farm system is created for human, animals, and the environment. Certified organic refers to agricultural products that have been grown and developed according to uniform standards and must be verified by organizations that have been accredited by the USDA.
