Organic farming is highly environmentally beneficial since it does not utilize fertilizers or chemicals. The Organic Farming Action Program goal is to promote and significantly improve organic farming via a series of key actions. The only way to preserve and enhance the amount of carbon that can be absorbed by the soil is to add organic materials to it on a regular basis, which is the foundation of organic farming. Organic agriculture is a unique production management approach that maintains and increases agro-ecosystem health, including biodiversity, biological cycles, and soil biological activity, while excluding all synthetic off- farm inputs.
