Organic Agriculture is an integrated farming system that strives for sustainability,
the enhancement of soil fertility and biological diversity whilst, with rare exceptions,
prohibiting synthetic pesticides, antibiotics, synthetic fertilizers, genetically
modified organisms, and synthetic growth hormones.
Advantages of Organic Cultivation
Lower Growing Cost: The economics of organic farming is characterized by increasing
profits via reduced water use, lower expenditure on fertilizer and energy, and increased
retention of topsoil. To add to this the increased demand for organic produce makes
organic farming a profitable option
Increased Drought Tolerance: Organically grown plants are more drought tolerant. The
soluble salts in cells of fertilizers-fed plants are unable to osmotically draw sufficient
water to maintain safe dilution, thereby increasing the salt content. This salt level reaches
toxic levels and result in the death of plants.
