Organic farming is a form of agriculture that relies on techniques such as crop rotation, green manure, compost, and biological pest control to maintain soil productivity. It strictly limits the use of chemical fertilizers and relies on ecological processes, biodiversity, and cycles adapted to local conditions. It aims at improving human welfare by providing healthier food and protecting the environment from harmful effects of plant growth hormones and chemical pesticides. This book studies in detail the various methods of organic farming and the use of genetically modified organisms.
