Organic Agriculture

Organic farmers, ranchers, and food processors use agricultural methods intended to preserve the environment. USDA organic regulations restrict the use of certain conventional tools such as synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.

Organic farmers utilize practices that:

Maintain and improve fertility, soil structure and biodiversity, and reduce erosion

Reduce the risks of human, animal, and environmental exposure to toxic materials

Fine-tune farming practices to meet local production conditions and satisfy local markets
