Abstract

Sustainable agriculture is farming in sustainable ways (meeting society's food and textile needs in the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs) based on an understanding of ecosystem services, the study of relationships between organisms and their environment. Organic farming is a modern and a sustainable form of agriculture that provides consumers fresh natural farm products. Organic farming works in synchronization with nature rather than against it. This objective is achieved by using techniques to improve crop yields without harming the natural environment as well as the people who live and work in it. Organic agriculture offers an exclusive amalgamation of environment-friendly practices, which require low external inputs, thereby contributing to increased food availability. Organic farming has a very positive influence especially on birds, insects, weeds, wildlife, and soil. Conventional farming is capital intensive, which requires more manufactured inputs and energy as compared to knowledge- and labor-intensive organic farming. Organic agriculture uses energy more competently than conventional agriculture.
