Abstract

Organic farming is usually regarded to be more environmentally friendly than conventional farming. On this subject, we perform a global literature review. Organic farming employs integrated production practises that reduce the environmental impact of inorganic fertilisers, herbicides, and genetically modified organisms. In terms of environmental and climate change effects, organic farming is less polluting than conventional farming when measured per unit of land. Organic cuisine is gaining popularity around the world. The main driver of increased demand is consumer concern about the detrimental impacts of conventional agriculture on the environment and human health. All across the world, various organic agricultural practises are practised. They are united by common aims of economic, environmental, and social sustainability. Many countries currently have specific legislative underpinnings for organic farming, as well as production and processing certification programmes. The expansion of organic agriculture practises and markets demonstrates how this is a viable alternative to intensification. More political will and scientific money could help realise more of this potential. In addition to developing organic agriculture, this should inform and improve the sustainability of other forms of agriculture.
有机农业对环境的影响:争议
有机农业通常被认为比传统农业更环保。关于这个主题,我们进行了全球文献综述。有机农业采用综合生产实践,减少无机肥料、除草剂和转基因生物对环境的影响。就环境和气候变化的影响而言,按单位土地计算,有机农业比传统农业污染更少。有机烹饪在世界各地越来越受欢迎。需求增加的主要动力是消费者担心传统农业对环境和人类健康的有害影响。世界各地都在实行各种有机农业做法。他们因经济、环境和社会可持续性的共同目标而团结在一起。许多国家目前都有有机农业的具体立法基础,以及生产和加工认证计划。有机农业实践和市场的扩大表明,这是一种替代集约化的可行方法。更多的政治意愿和科学资金可以帮助实现更多的这种潜力。除了发展有机农业外,这还应该为其他形式的农业的可持续性提供信息和改进。
