Organic Agriculture

Organic Agriculture is a system of crop and livestock production designed to optimize the productivity and health of diverse communities within the agro-ecosystem, including soil organisms, plants, livestock and people while prohibiting the use of pesticides, fertilizers, genetically modified organisms, antibiotics and growth hormones. This farming method provides several benefits to both producers and consumers and is quite important for the sustainable development of the earth's ecosystem.
