Organic Farming

The International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM), defines it as:
"Organic agriculture is a production system that sustains the health of soils, ecosystems and people. It relies on ecological processes, biodiversity and cycles adapted to local conditions, rather than the use of inputs with adverse effects. Organic agriculture combines tradition, innovation and science to benefit the shared environment and promote fair relationships and a good quality of life for all involved."
Ofcourse there are more definition of Organic farming, but I think this definition is the most common one, but if you think of other definition, you can bring it in "comment".

  1. From your definition there are these words "Organic agriculture combines tradition, innovation and science to benefit the shared environment" in here can we say we have a room Genetic Engineering technology?

  2. I disagree with changing at all! when u change some characteristic of a plant, it can have some affect on the environment, and it can unbalance the ecosystem in long-term. Is there any scientific reason that it doesn't affect on ecosystem?
