Epidemic effects of agrochemical on farmers are becoming an increasing threat. The objective of this presentation is to illustrate the Egyptian organic agriculture state of art, enlargement, progress, constrains and prospective. Organic agriculture movement in Egypt started seventeen years ago basically to alleviate problems of the residues in the market commodities. Few farmers started biodynamic farming for export. Now this is widely spread among the country and more than 5000 feddans are farmed according to organic and biodynamic standards, namely EEC, Naturland and Demeter.
Organic growers produce now for both local and export market.
Understanding organic agriculture aspects as holostic approach now is clear for most organic growers. Farmers are establishing Fences and hedges and integrating animal husbandry with crop production in most farms. Proper crop rotations, farm waste recycling, composting and soil management practices are applied in order to fortify soil fertility and vitality. Techniques of biological control are well developed. Farmers are using mechanical and pheromone traps, sticky yellow sheets, distortion perfumes, BT and local species of bacteria and fungus for pest control.
