\nOrganic agriculture is a cultivation technique that does not use synthetic inputs, in order to eliminate water pollution and preserve soil nutrients.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The way in which it is possible to increase fertility in the long term, through crop rotation, promoting the conservation of agro-ecosystems, biological cycles.<\/p>\n

Organic agriculture is also known as ecological or biological agriculture and is regulated in its technique and even certified, since for its benefits it is subsidized by the governments of some countries.<\/p>\n

Thanks to this type of agriculture, it is possible to obtain products that have a demand in the market and since no country can satisfy its demand, then some countries develop it for internal consumption and in turn for export.<\/p>\n

Organic exports have managed to find a market in which they can be sold at a markup of up to a maximum of 20%, compared to products from non-organic farms. <\/p>\n

Organic agriculture uses labor-intensive and natural methods to combat pests.<\/p>\n

In this type of production as in many others, the consumer influences making informed purchasing decisions, since their preferences give signals to the market and the production process; that reacts to the extent that profit is generated for its producers.<\/p>\n

Advantages of organic farming<\/h2>\n

The advantages of organic farming are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • It improves the composition of the cultivation soil and stimulates the reproduction of microorganisms.<\/li>\n
  • It reduces the risk of erosion by rotating the periods in which the crop soil is exposed to rain, wind and sun.<\/li>\n
  • It enhances biological diversity.<\/li>\n
  • Contribute to sustainable agriculture.<\/li>\n
  • Thanks to its use, there is an improvement in the health of agricultural communities, since the use of toxic synthetic pesticides that poison the aquifers every year is reduced.<\/li>\n
  • Protects the native species of the region.<\/li>\n
  • Storage is reduced because it occurs according to the seasons of the year; Instead of forcing production out of season, harvest and mature in cellars because the weather will not allow it to ripen properly. <\/li>\n
  • It makes use of prevention and calendar organization.<\/li>\n
  • Make use of knowledge of the environment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Disadvantages of organic farming<\/h2>\n

    However, not all benefits:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • The results are observed until the medium term.<\/li>\n
    • Specialized control and management is necessary.<\/li>\n
    • In some areas it is not possible because the land is not fertile enough.<\/li>\n
    • Its cost is higher.<\/li>\n
    • The demand for this type of product is lower, due to its higher price.<\/li>\n
    • The production is usually lower than in the case of other types of cultivation techniques.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
