Overview Organic farming is farming in harmony with nature, with the aim of providing produce of a high nutritional quality without the aid of artificial fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, herbicides and growth regulation and without genetic manipulation of living organisms. Under organic farming a steady permanent output is assured. Though yield may be slightly lower in some cases, they can be maintained indefinitely, the farmer's costs do not spiral, since little or no external inputs are required.
Natural fertilizer is made from materials found on a mixed farm .
In combination with various cultural methods, healthy crops are produced which have natural resistance to pests and diseases. This system is sustainable - it can continue indefinitely, with vast savings to the national economy and improvement in national health. Organic farming is simply not doing away with chemicals. It means replacing them. Based on mixed farming principles, it promotes self- sufficiency in natural fertilizer, animal feeds and all needed inputs.
