Organic farming is an alternative agricultural
system which originated early in the 20th
century in reaction to rapidly changing
farming practices. Organic farming continues
to be developed by various organic agriculture
organizations today. It relies on fertilizers of
organic origin such as compost manure, green
manure , and bone meal and places emphasis
on techniques such as crop rotation and
companion planting. Biological pest control ,
mixed cropping and the fostering of insect
predators are encouraged. In general, organic
standards are designed to allow the use of
naturally occurring substances while
prohibiting or strictly limiting synthetic
substances. [2] For instance, naturally
occurring pesticides such as pyrethrin and
rotenone are permitted, while synthetic
fertilizers and pesticides are generally
prohibited. Synthetic substances that are
allowed include, for example, copper sulfate,
elemental sulfur and Ivermectin. Genetically
modified organisms , nanomaterials, human
sewage sludge, plant growth regulators,
hormones , and antibiotic use in livestock
husbandry are prohibited. [3][4] Reasons for
advocation of organic farming include
advantages in sustainability , [5][6] openness ,
self-sufficiency , autonomy/independence ,[6]
health, food security, and food safety.
Organic agricultural methods are
internationally regulated and legally enforced
by many nations, based in large part on the
standards set by the International Federation
of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM),
an international umbrella organization for
organic farming organizations established in
1972. [7] Organic agriculture can be defined
