Organic farming also permits for the use of natural fertilizers. These fertilizers are good for plants that are healthy and reduce chemical waste.

Organic farming is also sustainable. To recycle nutrients back into soil, farmers often resort to composting. This reduces the risk of pollution and helps conserve precious resources.

Organic farming is good for the environment and increases crop yields. This is because there is much less water used during the growing season.

Organic production methods result in farmers receiving higher prices. Healthier foods are demanded by consumers who are more aware of the dangers posed by pesticides and chemical fertilisers.

This increases demand for organic food products. Organic farming is growing in popularity.
