Organic Farming: A Pathway to Sustainable Development

Abstract

Organic farming is a comprehensive agricultural approach that focuses on sustainable development by fostering ecological balance, biodiversity, and soil health. It avoids the use of synthetic chemicals, pesticides, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs), instead relying on natural processes and organic inputs for crop cultivation and livestock management. This method plays a crucial role in addressing environmental challenges, enhancing food security, and supporting healthy ecosystems. At its core, organic farming embodies environmental sustainability, promoting ecological harmony, reducing environmental degradation, and preserving biodiversity through the use of natural methods and materials. This paper delves into the role of organic farming in advancing sustainable development by analyzing its environmental, economic, and social aspects. Keywords: Organic farming, sustainable agriculture, ecological practices, soil health, sustainable development.
