Organic farmers use natural fertilizers, where crop rotation improves soil fertilization and the soil remains fertile. Inorganic farming land and soil degrade over time because of the use of artificial pesticides and the soil becomes infertile due to
Advantages of organic farming

SOME WAYS OF DOING ORGANIC FARMING
MULCHINGπ²π²
