What is Organic Farming?

Organic farming is a way of farming that avoids the use of synthetic chemicals as well as genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and usually subscribes to the principles of sustainable agriculture. Its theoretical basis puts an emphasis on soil health. Its proponents believe that healthy soil, maintained without the use of man-made fertilizers and pesticides, and livestock raised without drugs, yields higher quality food than conventional, chemical-based agriculture. In many countries, including the US and in the EU, organic farming is also defined by law and regulated by the government.
