The concept of organic farming is based on a holistic viewpoint.
Nature is more than just the separate individual elements into which it can be split.
Principles and ideas of farming are found in the science of ecology, the interrelationship of living organisms and their environments. The concept includes economic and social aspects of agricultural production, locally as well as globally. Organic farming aims to support and strengthen biological processes, without replacing them using technical remedies, and to adopt a preventive approach to the control of weeds, pests and diseases. Consequently, the use of chemical inputs, such as synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, is not allowed. Organic farming is based on enhancement of soil structure and fertility as well as a balanced choice of crops, for instance by the implementation of diversified crop rotation systems.
