'Organic farming is a production system which avoids or largely excludes the use of synthetically compounded fertilizers, pesticides, growth regulators, genetically modified organisms and livestock food additives. To the maximum extent possible organic farming system rely upon crop rotations, use of crop residues, animal manures, legumes, green manures, off farm organic wastes, biofertilizers, mechanical cultivation, mineral bearing rocks and aspects of biological control to maintain soil productivity and tilth to supply plant nutrients and to control insect, weeds and other pests. Organic methods can increase farm productivity, repair decades of environmental damage and knit small farm families into more sustainable distribution networks leading to improved food security if they organize themselves in production, certification and marketing. During last few years an increasing number of farmers have shown lack of interest in farming and the people who used to cultivate are migrating to other areas. Organic farming is one way to promote either self-sufficiency or food security. Use of massive inputs of chemical fertilizers and toxic pesticides poisons the land and water heavily. The after-effects of this are severe environmental consequences, including loss of topsoil, decrease in soil fertility, surface and ground water contamination and loss of genetic diversity. Organic farming which is a holistic production management system that promotes and enhances agro-ecosystem health, including biodiversity, biological cycles, and soil biological activity is hence important. Many studies have shown that organic farming methods can produce even higher yields than conventional methods. Significant difference in soil health indicators such as nitrogen mineralization potential and microbial abundance and diversity, which were higher in the organic farms can also be seen. The increased soil health in organic farms also resulted in considerably lower insect and disease incidence. The emphasis on small-scale integrated farming systems has the potential to revitalize rural areas and their economies. Advantages of organic farming It helps to maintain environment health by reducing the level of pollution. It reduces human and animal health hazards by reducing the level of residues in the product. It helps in keeping agricultural production at a sustainable level. It reduces the cost of agricultural production and also improves the soil health. It ensures optimum utilization of natural resources for short-term benefit and helps in conserving them for future generation. It not only saves energy for both animal and machine, but also reduces risk of crop failure. It improves the soil physical properties such as granulation, good tilth, good aeration, easy root penetration and improves water-holding capacity and reduces erosion. It improves the soil’s chemical properties such as supply and retention of soil nutrients, reduces nutrient loss into water bodies and environment and promotes favourable chemical reactions. The 3 \'R\'s Reduce, Reuse, Recycle – these three \'R\' words are an important part of sustainable living, as they help to cut down on the amount of waste we have to throw away. It\'s Really simple! Reduce the amount of waste you produce. Reuse items as much as you can before replacing them. Recycle items wherever possible. Using the 3 \'R\'s also helps to minimise the amount of space needed for landfill sites, where waste materials are disposed of. #love #organic #farming #agriculture #agricultural #earth #earthday #world #environment #worldenvironmentday #worldenvironment #earthbound #soil #reduce #reuse #reuse #reuseidea #reuseideas #review #recycle #recycled #recylingideas #love #follow #like #trending #redsoil #learning #learn #level #agriculture #youtube #youtuber #youtubecommunity #youtubeshorts #youtubeshort #youtubechannel #youtubers #youtubevideo #tiktok #lovesong #education #educational #educationalvideo #instagram #instagood #inspiration #follow #like #likeforlikes #science #sciencefacts #natural #naturelovers #organicfarming #organicgardening #organicfood #replacement #replace #repair #repost Pls share your thoughts in comment section * * ur views motivate us for making more videos Plz Share
