Organic farming is said to be the original, mainstream form of agriculture. Before the development of synthesized fertilizers and pesticides, practices of crop rotation and fertilization with animal manures and legumes were the options available to most farmers to maintain crop productivity. All systems of organic farming avoid the use of inputs of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. However, the principles involved in organic farming are in common with conventional farming – a term that is used to identify agriculture that is not organic – as both systems are managed intensively. Production in the wild or in abandoned systems is not an organic practice. Crops must have nutrients, and pests must be controlled. Many conventional and organic farming systems have practices that are in common with one another. Hence, organic and conventional systems are not greatly different in technology and have the same scientific basis.
