Abstract

The foundational principles and methodologies of modified organic farming, offer insights into sustainable agricultural practices. Modified organic farming integrates traditional organic principles with innovative techniques to enhance productivity while maintaining environmental harmony. By examining the core principles, such as soil health optimization, biodiversity promotion, and minimal chemical usage, this research elucidates the essence of sustainable agriculture. Techniques like crop rotation, composting, and biological pest control are explored for their efficacy in bolstering crop yields and resilience. The adaptability and resilience of modified organic farming systems in diverse agricultural contexts. Ultimately, this exploration aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on sustainable agriculture and provide practical guidance for farmers seeking to adopt or enhance their organic farming practices. Organic farming has been among the most popular concepts for more than many decades. Despite being a rapidly growing sector, certified organic agriculture occupies only less than 1 % of land and 1-2 percent of food sales in the world. Organic farming offers an alternative to more widespread, high-input farming practices that use synthetic fertilizers, fungicides, and pesticides. Organic agriculture relies on crop rotation, animal manures, crop residues, green manures, and the biological control of pests and diseases to maintain soil health and productivity. The environmental impact of organic farming is low and can be seen as a way of cleaning up and improving degraded agricultural land.
