It refers to all agricultural systems that promote food production through environmentally, socially, and economically sound methods, and significantly reduce the use of external synthetic inputs such as chemical fertilizers, pesticides, drugs, genetically modified seeds, and preservatives. Organic farming harnesses natural processes to increase crop yields and build disease resistance.

Producing healthy food that is free from contamination resulting from the use of mineral fertilizers and chemical pesticides in production processes Producing food with high nutritional value in sufficient quantities.

Organic farming and related industries remain limited to date, which prevents them from enjoying the economic benefits of large-scale production that conventional farms do. Tasks involved in organic farming, such as weeding, are done by hand and require a large workforce, which is costly. Organic farming methods rely on crop rotations that leave the land fallow for a period of time, as well as strict regulations governing animal husbandry, which increases the cost of production The added value to the product’s price results from sorting, packaging, storage, and refrigerated transport, ensuring that organic products reach consumers at the highest quality standards

On the contrary, organic products—whether vegetables, fruits, juices, or others—have a longer shelf life than their conventional counterparts due to their higher solid content, lower moisture content, and thicker plant cell walls, which make these products more resistant to insect and fungal infestations, among other issues; consequently, they are not prone to rapid spoilage and retain their high nutritional value.
