Abstract

The term modern organic farming was symbolize in due response to environmental harm caused by the use of chemical and synthetic fertilizers. It has got numerous ecological benefits. The pest controls and biological fertilizers derived largely from animal and plant wastes and nitrogen-fixing cover crops. In due response to comparison with conventional agriculture, organic farming uses fewer pesticides, reduces soil erosion, decreases nitrate leaching into groundwater and surface water, and recycles animal wastes back into the farm. These benefits are counterbalanced by higher food costs for consumers and generally lower yields. The yields of organic crops have been found to be about 25 percent lower overall than conventionally grown crops, although this can vary considerably depending upon the type of crop. The objective of this study is to review the beneficial aspects of Organic farming worldwide.
