Question

What is organic farming? What are its advantages?

Answer 1

1. Organic farming is a method of growing crops without the use of chemicals, artificial fertilisers, or pesticides.
2. Chemical-free water, natural fertilisers, and natural insect management are all used.
3. Fertilisers are a substance applied to land or soil to improve plant growth.
4. Pesticides are a chemical substance used to kill animals, particularly insects that eat food crops.

Advantages of organic farming are as follows:

1. The fertility of the soil is improved by using organic farming methods.
2. They allow for the restoration of soil fertility and microbial population through natural cycles.
3. The crop we receive is also chemical-free, making it healthier to consume.
4. Rainwater run-off from farms pollutes waterbodies less when chemical fertilisers and other chemicals are not used.
