ORGANIC FARMING

organic farming: translation

a modern farming system which deliberately eschews the use of chemical inputs to the farm. Has become increasingly popular in the EMDW in recent years, as people have demanded agricultural methods that are kinder to the environment. As well as having less negative impact on soils, plants and animals than conventional modern farming, the produce is better for human health. Does require more labour and often achieves lower yields therefore produce tends to be more expensive.
