CONCLUSION

Organic farming can be defined as the system of farming that

is majorly focused on disuse of chemical compounds such as pesticide,

synthetically compounded fertilizers, livestock feed additives and

growth regulators. Flexible organic farming system relies upon crop

residues, green manure, pest weeds, crop rotations, off- farm organic

wastes, legumes, aspects of biological pest control insects, animal

manures, and etc. Methods of organic farming are used widely in

developing countries, majorly because of economics and a fewer

resources of chemicals. Yet they are emerging as widely approved

concepts in the developed countries as a result of years of harmful

industry chemicals is becoming more evident.

Organic farming has its own disadvantages such as the

time factor and less yield compared high synthetic input farming. But

the advent of advanced technology and enriched human knowledge on

the matters of agriculture has led to new possibilities where organic

farming can overcome these disadvantages. Furthermore it is

imperative to instil healthy living. Consumption of poisonous food

would lead to a plethora of diseases and the children would naturally

be the worst affected. Thus measures have to be taken to promote and

develop the technology of organic farming. After all the biggest

tragedy of mankind would be to create a future generation which is not

better in terms of health than the previous generation.
