Organic agriculture is defined as a production system that is managed in accordance with the Organic Foods Production Act and regulations to respond to site-specific conditions by integrating cultural, biological, and mechanical practices that foster cycling of resources, promotes ecological balance, and conserve biodiversity.

Organic farming is more environmentally friendly than conventional methods, producing less carbon and water pollution, and using fewer chemical compounds that can enter the food chain. We can affect global warming and minimize it.
