Benefits of Organic Farming

Biodiversity: Organic farming demonstrates clear advantages for biodiversity over conventional farming. Depending on altitude, organic farms have between 46 and 72 percent more semi-natural habitats and host 30 percent more species and 50 percent more individuals than non-organic farms.

Soil Health: Organic farming is agriculture that makes healthy food, healthy soils, healthy plants, and healthy environments a priority, along with crop productivity. Organic farmers use biological fertilizer inputs and management practices such as cover cropping and crop rotation to improve soil quality and build organic soil matter. By increasing the amount of organic matter in the soil, organic farmers enhance the soil’s ability to absorb water, reducing the impacts of drought and flooding. Improving soil organic matter also helps it to absorb and store carbon and other nutrients need to grow healthy crops, which, in turn, are better able to resist insects and diseases.

Natural Methods: Conventional farming typically uses minimal crop rotations, growing the same single crop year after year on the same land. This practice, known as mono cropping causes the depletion of nutrients and minerals. In order to continue growing crops in this depleted soil, nutrients and minerals must be added back in the form of hydrocarbon based fertilizers and mined minerals such as phosphate. Conventional GM farming is dependent on earth-based non-renewable resources. Monocultures and the resulting poor health open the way for infestations of insects, diseases and weeds. Healthy bio-diverse soil keeps these infestations in check. The lack of biodiversity requires synthetic pesticides and herbicides to be used, further destroying the national soil biology

Sustainability:  Economic values have a large impact on the relationship between farmers and consumers. The more product farmers grow or raise, the more consumers purchase, and the more the price goes down. For this reason, consumers usually purchase food items from grocery stores that are farmed by traditional means due to the lower price.

Traditional agriculture serves its purpose and can feed large quantities of people in a short amount of time. However, these results are achieved by the use of various pesticides and chemicals to keep the level of insects at a minimum. While this method may be speedy, it sometimes delivers unwanted results, such as ruined soil and the risk of disease in humans.

Sustainable agriculture involves a more environmentally friendly and socially responsible form of agriculture that’s also a “way of life” that modern farmers are beginning to incorporate into all aspects of their operations.
