Organically-grown Agriculture is a system of production of food which appears as an alternative to conventional agriculture.
The main purpose of Organic Farming is to get high quality foods without forcing the productive capacity of the soil and providing animals of decent living conditions.
The farming soil is managed as an alive being, not as an inert substratum; manure and other natural products are added to reinforce its biological activity and keeping its fertility.
Pests and are prevented with an appropriate managing of the crops and the animals, and respecting its natural biologic rhythms. Only if necessary are used certain natural phytosanitary products with low environmental impact, and soon degradation.
Organic Farming cooperates with traditional crops varieties, which are better adapted to the environment and with the diversity and conservation of landscaping.
Men are cultivating the land ten thousand years ago, and Organic Farming pretends the keeping of the farming production system along the time without lowering today existing resources.
