Organic Farmers
Organic farmers grow crops and raise animals without using synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs). They focus on sustainable practices that promote soil health, biodiversity, and ecological balance. This method often includes crop rotation, composting, and natural pest control to maintain a healthy ecosystem.
These farmers typically sell their products at local markets, grocery stores, or through community-supported agriculture (CSA) programs. By choosing organic methods, they aim to provide healthier food options for consumers while reducing the environmental impact of farming. Organic farming is regulated by standards set by organizations like the USDA in the United States.
