organic agriculture
Pesticide-free crop cultivation
Organic agriculture is farming that avoids synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and genetically modified organisms, relying instead on natural processes and inputs—crop rotation, composting, biological pest control.
The term implies environmental sustainability and healthier food, though standards vary by certifying body.
The farm transitioned to organic agriculture in the 1990s.
