Organic farming is a form of agriculture that depends on various techniques such as vermicomposting, crop rotation, green manure, Animal Husbandry, Bio fertilizers and biological pest control. Organic farming should be adapted in all areas since it is sustainable, where farmers use animals for tilling the land and manures prepared by dung and other waste material of animals. Organic farming supports the crop yield and quality of production. Synthetic chemicals may give high yield for some time and protects the plants but after the continuous use of chemicals in farming, useful organisms in soil become inactive and the insects or pests and other diseases gain resistance to the chemicals and later the chemicals may not show its effect on the pests, insects and other harmful organisms.

Organic farming helps the soil to maintain fertility and we can get good quality food products which are also healthier. The aim of organic farming is to produce chemical free food and to maintain the fertility of the soil for a long time.
