1. Builds Healthy Soil
Instead of relying on synthetic pesticides and fertilizers which deplete the soil of valuable nutrients and increase environmental degradation, organic agriculture builds up soil using such practices as composting, cover cropping, and crop rotation.
2. Supports Water Conservation & Water Health
Organic practices help to keep our water supply clean of run-off from toxic and persistent chemicals.
3. Reduce carbon footprint
By prohibiting the use of petroleum-based fertilizers and absorbing carbon dioxide from the air, organic agriculture helps to reduce our carbon footprint and combat climate change.
4. Encourages Biodiversity
Soil is home to more than a quarter of living species on our planet. The use of organic fertilizers & manure instead of synthetic fertilizers in organic farming sustains soil life and the ecosystem.
Organic farming encourages birds and other natural predators to live happily on farmland, which assists in natural pest control. Additionally, animals who live on organic farms are exposed to clean, chemical-free grazing that helps to keep them naturally healthy.
