Abstract:

Organic agriculture is normally understood to mean agriculture that does not use man-made
chemicals, such as chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides etc. However, organic agriculture is
not an easy option. Obtaining sustainable and good harvests without using chemicals, requires
farmers to use a wide range of other cultivation techniques, to maintain the fertility of their soil, and
control pests and diseases.
