Abstract

The innovative agricultural technique known as organic farming is at the forefront of sustainable practices, promoting biodiversity and a low dependency on artificial chemicals. This approach prioritizes the production of healthful, nutritious food while simultaneously preserving the fragile balance of our ecosystems in an effort to reshape the relationship between agriculture, the environment, and human well-being. Because of growing worries about food safety, the health of the land, and the threat of climate change, organic farming has become more and more popular in recent years. The fundamental principle of organic farming is its dedication to forgoing synthetic chemicals in favor of natural and organic inputs. Crop rotation, composting, and biological pest management are just a few of the methods used by organic farmers to create a healthy, balanced ecosystem that benefits their crops and the soil. This method has the potential to develop resilient and adaptable farming systems in addition to reducing the environmental impact of traditional agriculture.


This review will explore the conceptual framework, methodological techniques, historical foundations, and current research trends in organic farming in the pages that follow. We will examine theoretical ramifications, summarize important results, critically evaluate its influence, and talk about real-world implementations. We will also discuss the obstacles that need to be overcome and outline possible future paths for this sustainable agriculture paradigm.
