Preferred term

organic farming and agribusiness  

Definition

  • Organic farming (also known as biological farming) is a process of growing foods without the use of chemical additives, genetically modified seeds, hormones, or antibiotics. Organic farmers rely instead on a variety of low-impact techniques that include crop rotation, the application of chemical-free manure and compost to feed their soils, and integrated pest management—the use of plant diversity and naturally occurring bacteria to ward off insect problems.
