Intercrooping on organic farming
intercropping is a defined as growth of more than more crop simultaneously in the same field during in our growing season ....Strip Intercropping is a produce where different crops are growth in wide strip ( usally the of a seeder) in the same field.
Hope it help you!!!!

When two or more crops are cultivated in an intercropping system, the choice of crops, the arrangement of crops in space and time, the plant density, maturity dates of the different crops, plant architecture, and spatial arrangements are to be maintained
Intercropping icrease the sustainabilty of soil.
The length of time that the soil is exposed to erosive forces is decreased, soil biodiversity is increased, and nutrient losses are reduced, helping to maintain and enhance soil productivity. Crop export of nutrients is usually compensated by farm-derived renewable resources..
decreasing agrochemical needs (these require high quantities of fossil fuel to be produced). Organic agriculture contributes to mitigating the greenhouse effect and global warming through its ability to sequester carbon in the soil. Many management practices used by organic agriculture (e.g. minimum tillage, returning crop residues to the soil, the use of cover crops and rotations, and the greater integration of nitrogen-fixing legumes), increase the return of carbon to the soil, raising productivity and favouring carbon storage
The impact of organic agriculture on natural resources favours interactions within the agro-ecosystem that are vital for both agricultural production and nature conservation. Ecological services derived include soil forming and conditioning, soil stabilization, waste recycling, carbon sequestration, nutrients cycling, predation, pollination and habitats. By opting for organic products, the consumer through his/her purchasing power promotes a less polluting agricultural system. The hidden costs of agriculture to the environment in terms of natural resource degradation are reduced.
