Build an Organic Farming

Organic farming is direct connection between our health and how the food we eat is produced. Artificial fertilisers are banned and pesticides are severely restricted and farmers develop fertile soil by rotating crops and using compost, cover crops,manure and crop rotation. and place a strong emphasis on the protection of wildlife and the environment.  take a holistic, principled approach that respects and harnesses the power of natural processes to build positive health across the ecology of the farm.

Organic farming methods use of renewable resources and conservation of soil and water. make more healthier crops and animals, reduces their susceptibility to disease. Common techniques used by organic farmers to manage soil quality offer the best, currently available, practical model for addressing climate-friendly food production. This is because it is less dependent on oil-based fertilisers and pesticides and confers resilience in the face of climatic extremes. It also stores higher levels of carbon in the soil, and as a result if organic farming was common practice in the China, we could offset at least 23% of agriculture's current greenhouse emissions.

Compost is organic material used with success in both home gardens and farms. It is made of decaying and decayed organic wastes and is spread on garden beds and organically farmed fields. turn compost to bio-organic fertilizer which is environment protecting and earth quality improving. It uses the modern fertilizing technology to make bio-organic fertilizer from such materials as agri-waste,manure,daily life garbage,slush and vinasse,etc. Compost fermentation is rather an advanced and the most economical fertilizing method to build a biologic organic farming.

Cover crops in general are used to protect the soil's surface from water and wind erosion, help maintain soil structure, and help maintain the level of organic matter of the soil, all of which keeps soil healthy. Green manure is a type of cover crop grown specifically to add nutrients back into the soil; manure is plowed together with the soil, positively increasing the soil's organic matter. Cover crops are also used in place of conventional pesticides to keep weeds at bay and as a eliminate to pests.

Crop rotations are also part of the strategy organic farmers use to help sustain soil fertility. For example, this year an organic farmer may grow wheat on a field, graze sheep on that field next, and plan to plant a cover crop of clover the year after.  a diversity of crops and animals are raised on the farm and rotated around the farm over several seasons, including fallow periods. This mixed farming approach helps break cycles of pests and disease and builds fertility in the soil

The routine use of drugs, antibiotics and wormer is banned. instead the farmer will use preventative methods, like moving animals to fresh pasture and keeping smaller herd and flock sizes, free-range life for farm animals is guaranteed
