There are several reasons for investing in an organic farm. They are primarily concerned about human health, greater nutritional value, and environmental protection. Today people consume products processed in the factories with so many additives to preserve them for a long time that they don’t even bother whether they will provide the body with the necessary nutritional, energy, and other health standards. It has been noticed that food processing is the biggest cause of the increase in the incidence of various diseases as nobody is aware of the harmful pollutants accumulating in their body through their diet. It is highly mandatory to understand the importance of organic farming and its wide range of benefits in such cases. Some chapters explain the steps to avoid the intake of such substances while encouraging an expanding investment in eco-food production in every country in the world. Maintaining soil health is also a major factor for organic growers as climatic conditions can affect their crops’ growth. Rich soils with sufficient humus live soil with trillions of microorganisms and other organisms as they help maintain the natural cycle of soil microbial change. Individuals can only make small changes to build a great world for every other human being on this planet. Hence, this book aims to help readers understand the various organic standards and certification programs, benefits, history of organic farming practices. There are also case studies at the end of the book to grasp the environmental sustainability and increase in crop production growth after adopting organic farming over conventional farming.
