Abstract
The aim of the paper is to assess the involvement of organic farming to amplify the sustainability of Organic agriculture. Widespread use of chemicals in inorganic food production technology compelled the health careful people to discover and support organic farming methods in agriculture. Particularly in poorer countries sustainable Organic Farming can throw in to meaningful socio-economic and economically sustainable development. The goal of organic beliefs which means well-informed management of local resources (e.g. local seed varieties, manure, etc.) and therefore cost efficiency. Organic agriculture minimizes the risk of yield failure, alleviates returns and innovation in the life of small farmers’ families. Organic agriculture shows abundant benefits, as it reduces many of the environmental impacts of conventional agriculture, it can increase efficiency in small farmers’ fields, and it reduces reliance on costly external inputs, and guarantees price premiums for organic products. Organic farmers also profit from farmer cooperative and formation of social networks, which enhances good access to instruction, credit and welfare services. This paper brings out how the function of organic farming contributes for the sustainable practices and improving environment conservation, animal welfare, and product quality.
期刊介绍:
Agricultural and Food Science (AFSci) publishes original research reports on agriculture and food research related to primary production and which have a northern dimension. The fields within the scope of the journal include agricultural economics, agricultural engineering, animal science, environmental science, horticulture, plant and soil science and primary production-related food science. Papers covering both basic and applied research are welcome.
AFSci is published by the Scientific Agricultural Society of Finland. AFSci, former The Journal of the Scientific Agricultural Society of Finland, has been published regularly since 1928. Alongside the printed version, online publishing began in 2000. Since the year 2010 Agricultural and Food Science has only been available online as an Open Access journal, provided to the user free of charge. Full texts are available online from 1945 on.
