Synopsis Organic farming is the process of producing food naturally. This method avoids the use of synthetic chemical fertilizers and genetically modified organisms to influence the growth of crops. The main idea behind organic farming is zero impact on the environment. The motto of the organic farmer is to protect the earth's resources and produce safe, healthy food. Farmers and gardeners plan to grow their crops without the aid of artificial fertilizers and harmful chemical pesticides. Organic ranchers and dairymen raise their livestock free of drugs and animal hormones. Supporters of the organic lifestyle believe that food produced in this manner is of higher quality and possesses higher nutritional value in comparison to food produced by conventional, chemical-based methods.
