Organic Farming Methods

Organic farming methods combine scientific knowledge and modern technology with traditional farming practices based on thousands of years of agriculture. Organic farming produces higher quality less toxic food.

In general, organic methods rely on naturally occurring biological processes, which often take place over extended periods of time, along with organic fertilizer nutrient products to provide a holistic approach to growing crops. Crop diversity is a distinctive characteristic of organic farming.

Many farming methods have been created that help develop healthy crops and control pests. Healthy soil brought on by crop rotation, using EM Effective Microorganisms, and composted chicken manure help to replenish the nutrients in the soil and respect the balance of microorganisms and minerals. Composted manure decomposes more slowly, in turn releasing nitrogen into the soil at a slower rate, becoming a better soil builder. EM effective microorganisms will help speed up this process.

Pests and disease are best combated by having healthy plants, which start from healthy soil. Plant selection is integral to healthy soil. By selecting plants compatible with the climate, the plants will thrive creating a rich, nutrient-filled healthy soil. If that method does not work, farmers choose from traps, barriers, mating disruption and introducing an insect’s natural predator to the environment. The predator will not destroy the crop but will prey upon the insects. Under strict guidelines, if none of these additional methods work, botanical and other non-persistent pest control are acceptable. These are derived from plant sources and breakdown quickly in oxygen and water.

Organic Farming Methods Summary

Organic Farming

Organic farming is a form of farming that uses substantial diversity in pest control to reduce the use of pesticides and tries to provide as much fertility with local sources of nutrients with the help of EM Effective Microorganisms in conjunction with using concentrated organic fertilizer.

Organic Fertilizer

Organic fertilizers are compounds given to plants with the intention of promoting growth. They are usually applied either via the soil, for uptake by plant roots, or by foliar spraying, for uptake through leaves.

Sustainable Agriculture

Sustainable agriculture integrates three main goals: environmental stewardship, farm profitability, and prosperous farming communities.

Agroecology

Agroecology is the science of applying ecological concepts and principles to the design, development, and management of sustainable agricultural systems. Agroecology is the science of sustainable agriculture; the methods of agroecology have as their goal achieving sustainability of agricultural systems balanced in all spheres.
