As A Healthy Alternative?
Organic farming is a mixture of the 
traditional method and the scientific

process of growing plants, raising 
animals, and other livestock for human 
welfare. Earlier, people used to travel in 
groups. So, to survive, they hunted wild 
animals and also gathered their food from 
plants. But, with the increase in the human 
population, the need for food also grew.

For thousands of years, people used to 
practice agriculture using traditional methods 
and without the use of any artificial facilities. 
But with scientific development, a modern way 
was discovered for farming. This method 
follows a scientific approach. It uses synthetic 
methods of farming including the use of 
machines, the latest technologies, chemicals, 
pesticides, etc. This method of agriculture is 
known as scientific farming or scientific 
agriculture.

Organic farming system of agriculture started in the 20th century, 
and today, as per some records it has reached over 70 million

caused to the final product. The main ways 
through which organic farming is carried out 
are crop rotation, compost, biological pest 
control measures, mechanical cultivation, 
and other green measures.

toxic elements because there is no involvement of chemicals 
during farming.
