Organic Farming 

As the words say, it means a natural way of growing agricultural food for eating, like crops, fruits, and vegetables 

Those who want to lead a healthy life mostly prefer health over money, choose to eat naturally produced edible food without the use of chemicals and pesticides in their fields 

There are lots of causes and consequences of farming without the use of pesticides, which may decrease their production, and natural farming is more attacked by insects, and fungicides also decrease final production 

We start a journey of doing farming practices that my forefathers followed to get their food for them selfs and for their animals. This practice helps them to live a long and healthy life 

As I observed in my surroundings that as the technology increases, there are new kinds of diseases coming from using the wrong food, which is grown by using chemicals to increase their production and protect them from insects, birds, and fungicides  

Ways of doing farming there are a lot of ways of doing farming 

Traditional, conventional, organic, subsistence, commercial, intensive, extensive,

mixed , aquaponic and hydroponic ,  permaculture and agroforestry, etc

All the above methods of farming we practice organic farming, which is an old way of farming practice that has been done by our forefathers since ancient times   

eco-friendly ways to grow crops and raise livestock while maintaining soil health and avoiding synthetic chemicals and inorganic products to increase crop production 

How do we start this method? Let’s learn step by step 

1. Soil Preparation & Management
2. Crop Selection & Rotation
3. Nutrient Management
4. Pest and Weed Management
5. Water Management
6. Avoid Synthetic Inputs
7. Animal Husbandry (if applicable)
8. Record Keeping & Continual Improvement

Techniques to do 

• Crop Rotation
• Composting
• Green manure
• Mulching
• Biological pest control
• Polyculture and intercropping
• Natural weed management

Soil Preparation & Management

Soil preparation and management in organic farming mostly focus on maintaining and enhancing soil health without the use of synthetic chemicals and harmful insecticides. Here’s how we’ve done this task in simple steps :

1. Test your soil for nutrient content, structure, and pH before beginning
2. Apply well-decomposed compost to supply nutrients and beneficial microbes.
3. Loosen and Prepare Soil
4. Enhance Soil Fertility and Structure
5. Maintain Soil Biodiversity
6. Water Management
7. Prevent Soil Compaction
8. Record 

Crop Selection & Rotation

Crop rotation is the planned sequence of growing different crops on the same plot over seasons to optimize soil health and reduce pest and disease cycles

1. Prevent Nutrient Depletion
2. Pest & Disease Control
3. Weed Management
4. Build Soil Structure
5. Diversification

Practical Example of Crop Rotation

1. Year 1: Grow a cereal crop (like wheat or maize)
2. Year 2: Follow with a legume (like beans or peas) to replenish nitrogen
3. Year 3: Plant a root crop (like carrots or onions)
4. Year 4: Include a green manure or cover crop to protect and enrich the soil

By actively planning both crop selection and rotation, organic farmers maintain soil fertility, protect crop health, and ensure long-term productivity—all while meeting the standards of organic farming.

Nutrient Management

The central goal is to keep the soil alive and fertile by returning more to it than is taken out, using sustainable and eco-friendly means, which strengthens crops and ecological balance.

 Ways to manage nutrients in crops are  Organic Manures, Biofertilizers, Crop Rotation & Cover Cropping, Composting & Vermicompost, Green Manure, Panchagavya, Jeevamrut, and Other Liquid Organic Inputs, Mineral Amendments, Recycling and Nutrient Budgeting, Balancing Inputs and Outputs. These are some of them 

Pest and Weed Management

Organic farming uses natural, preventive, and ecological methods rather than synthetic chemicals. The goal is to maintain healthy crops by reducing economic losses while protecting the farm ecosystem.
