## 8 Organic Agriculture, Conventional Agriculture, and Traditional Agriculture  
The agricultural industry includes a range of farming practices, each requiring different regulatory compliances and methods. The Table 4 below gives a thorough random of three common agricultural methods organic, conventional, and, traditional. It draws attention to the essential distinctions and parallels between methods, input use, environmental effects, and conformity to rules and laws. \begin{table}
\begin{tabular}{c c c c c} \hline \hline
**Factor** & **Strengths** & **Weaknesses** & **Opportunities** & **Threats** \\ \hline \multirow{4}{*}{Cultivation methods} & The exclusion of chemical pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers leads to lower environmental impacts [58; 59; 60; 61; 62; 63] & Requires more land to produce a similar yield to conventional, and it demands more labor [58] & Positive environmental impacts [58] & Adaptation of organic cultivation at a large scale may lead to land use change [64] \\ \hline \multirow{4}{*}{Product quality} & More nutritional, healthier, and safer produce [25; 28; 37; 38; 41] & Lower yields compared to conventional production [58; 60] & Highly marketable produce [18; 27] & Insect, pest, and disease damage to produce [24; 65; 66] \\ \hline \multirow{4}{*}{Production yields} & Lower yields with improved nutritional value [25] & Lower yields compared to conventional production [58; 60] & Lower yields demand higher prices [1; 25] & Some consumers cannot afford to buy at higher prices [1; 25] & Some consumers cannot afford to buy at higher prices [1; 25] \\ \hline \multirow{4}{*}{Soil fertility} & High soil organic matter content, encouraging soil biological activity [67] & Degraded soil can take time to recover [68] & Reduction in environmental environmental degradation [65] & Face similar environmental problems (increased wind, downstream sedimentation, and losses in biodiversity, water quality, and habitat loss) [69] \\ \hline \multirow{4}{*}{Organic fertilizer} & Use of naturally occurring products, such as manure, crop rotation, and crop residues [16] & High prices for organic fertilizers and a lack of organic means [69] & Farmers can use Indigenous knowledge to produce organic fertilizer [68] & The limited supply and variation of organic products in specialized stores [65] \\ \hline \multirow{4}{*}{Economy} & It is highly profitable and increases employment year round [64] & Sometimes a lack of access to financial facilities for organic farming [65] & Government and policymaker involvement can boost organic agriculture’s hope for the future [66] & A decrease in organic farmers in certain countries due to the drop in profit during the first years of converting from conventional to organic farming [70] \\ \hline \multirow{4}{*}{Education} & Use of Indigenous knowledge [66] & Low level of farmer literacy [65] & Applying and executing scientific achievements & The weakness of educational and promotional planning [65] \\ \hline \multirow{4}{*}{Environmental and climate} & In organic farming, drought-tolerant crops can be used [32; 71] & Reduction in soil organic matter when there is little rainfall [67] & Less rainfall is good for harvesting season [69] & Soil becomes more acidic (salinization) when rainfall decreases [67] \\ \hline \hline \end{tabular}
