Organic agriculture is being recognized worldwide as sustainable agriculture. Meanwhile, it became clear that in many regions of the world such agricultural systems have existed for many centuries. As a result of the growing interest of consumers in organically grown products legislative bodies have started to develop laws regulating organic production. This helps to give an even more reliable guarantee to the consumer. Great efforts are being made to harmonize laws among various countries to facilitate trade, since there is a great international interest in environmentally friendly products.
Soil fertility is maintained or improved by natural methods.
The soil retains its fertility, so forthcoming generations will be able to use it for agricultural production. This means that measures are taken to prevent soil erosion, to conserve water and to add minerals naturally, which are removed by the harvest of the agricultural product. Organic manure is often used to maintain or improve soil fertility. No use of synthetic pesticides. Organic agriculture demands of the farmer a deep understanding of natural processes and is, therefore, certainly not a simple or easy method of agricultural production.
