Organic agriculture refers to a method of farming that prioritizes the use of natural, sustainable methods and materials in order to grow crops and raise livestock. This approach involves using techniques such as crop rotation, composting, biological pest control, and avoiding the use of synthetic fertilizers or genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The goal of organic agriculture is to minimize harm to the environment while maximizing the health benefits of the food produced. It also emphasizes the importance of fair treatment for farmers, farm workers, and animals in the production process.
