What is the definition of organic farming?
The Compendium of UK Organic Standards as described in the above link define organic farming as: “Organic production systems are designed to produce optimum quantities of food of high nutritional quality by using management practices which aim to avoid the use of agro-chemical inputs and which minimise damage to the environment and wildlife. The principles include: • Working with natural systems rather than seeking to dominate them • The encouragement of biological cycles involving micro-organisms, soil flora and fauna, plants and animals • The maintenance of valuable existing landscape features and adequate habitats for the production of wildlife, with particular regard to endangered species • Careful attention to animal welfare considerations • The avoidance of pollution • Consideration for the wider social and ecological impact of the farming system.
