Growing organic crops is an art. There are many safe ways to grow them.

Organic farming is often called sustainable agriculture. This means that organic farming does not use as many resources as conventional methods, but it still provides the essential nutrients needed to sustain life.

Organic farming practices include crop rotations and cover crops, manure composting, intercropping, and cover cropping. These techniques help prevent soil erosion and improve water quality.

They also reduce chemical pollution of waterways. We can also find organic farms in our urban surroundings.

There are two types for organic products certification. One is certified by the USDA National Organic Program, and the other is certified by independent certifying agencies. Both require strict organic standards to be adhered to.

USDA seals, or O Seals, may be attached to certified organic products. These symbols indicate that the product meets federal requirements.
