Organic agriculture

---

Organic agriculture is a farming system that seeks to minimize the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) while promoting ecological balance and biodiversity. It has many benefits, including improved soil health, reduced chemical contamination of food, and lower greenhouse gas emissions. It also promotes local and sustainable food systems, strengthens rural communities, and supports biodiversity conservation. Despite its many advantages, organic agriculture faces many challenges, including the high cost of certification, limited access to markets, and the need for more research to improve production practices.
