literature review of organic farming

The aim of this review is to bridge this gap by presenting a systematic review of organic farming literature for sustainable agriculture.

Organic farming, which is deeply rooted in traditional agricultural practices, has witnessed a profound evolution over the last century. Transitioning from a grassroots initiative resisting the industrialization of agriculture to a global industry, organic farming now plays a pivotal role in addressing contemporary challenges related to environmental health, sustainability, and food safety ...

Organic agriculture is often perceived as more sustainable than conventional farming. We review the literature on this topic from a global perspective. In terms of environmental and climate change effects, organic farming is less polluting than conventional farming when measured per unit of land but not when measured per unit of output. Organic farming, which currently accounts for only 1% of ...

Here, we review the performance of organic farming systems in the context of sustainability metrics and global challenges, and examine some of the barriers to the adoption of organic farming ...

In recent years, organic farming is gaining increasing popularity due to growing health and environmental awareness among people. Indirectly, it has proved to be a boon for Indian agricultural scenario; therefore, due attention has been given to it in the introductory sections of this chapter.

How organic farming can promote sustainability in agriculture by reducing environmental impacts, improving soil health, and enhancing food quality and safety.

Organic agriculture has experienced remarkable growth in recent decades as societal interest in environmental protection and healthy eating has increased. Research has shown that relative to conventional agriculture, organic farming is more efficient in its use of non-renewable energy, maintains or improves soil quality, and has less of a detrimental effect on water quality and biodiversity ...

A significant barrier for wide application and future development of organic farming is the existing diversity of national and international policy instruments in this sector. Special attention is paid to up-to-date research techniques that could help solve a number of the problems typically faced in plant organic farming.

Understanding the evidence-based factors that influence the adoption of organic farming yields benefits in terms of managing said adoption effectively. We searched relevant articles published in databases including Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Google. The inclusion criteria were as follows: original article; published in journals, proceedings, or dissertations; full ...

Despite the relatively high profits of organic farming systems, a critical hurdle for organic farming, and other types of ecologically intensive farming systems, is to identify methods to improve the stability of ecosystem service provisioning that enhances and supports consistently high yields.

The authors used the systematic literature review to collect publications on organic farming from 2007 to 2020..The review provides insight into the essential dimensions of organic farming, the impact of organic farming on soil quality and crop yield

The four IFOAM principles of organic agriculture (health, ecology, fairness and care) are seldom addressed together in the literature on organic agriculture, due to a general lack of emphasis on some associated values such as integrity or equity within organic systems.

The reviewed literature is in consensus that organic farming, undoubtedly, improves soil quality due to application of organic manures and composts, and adoption of legume-based diversified cropping systems.

This review paper attempts to bring together different issues in recent developments in organic farming by employing non systemic literature review.

This paper reviews scientific literature on the evaluation of the technical, economic and environmental aspects of conversion from conventional towards organic production. The methods and results of empirical and normative modelling studies at the farm level, with special regard to farm management and policy, are analysed.

The association between organic farming practices and product quality is going to be the primary focus of this analysis. In addition to this, many other considerations are associated with organic systems, such as the quality of the soil, the nutritional content of the produce, methods of disease and insect control, and biopesticides.

This study aimed to examine the connection between organic farming practices and increased crop yields and agricultural output and assess the potential impact of organic agriculture on food security in India. The methodology involved thorough review of relevant literature.

This report looks at past research on the benefits of organic farming to soil health and climate change mitigation, and details a new study published in the scientific journal, Organic Agriculture, that surveys organic soil-building practices to illuminate specific strategies that have the biggest impacts on soil health.

The methodology involved a thorough review of relevant literature. The results of this study showed that organic agriculture has the potential to improve food security in India.

This chapter attempts to bring together different issues in the light of recent developments in organic farming. It traces the history of organic farming and reviews the global and Indian scenario with reference to organic farming. The key issues emerging in organic farming from literature review include yield reduction in conversion to

thetic pesticides and fertilizers. Hence, the concept and practice of organic agriculture is introduced to gain back the lost natural fertility of the soil. A key policy in the Philippines led to the enactment of a national legislation on organic agriculture. It described farming technology that maximizes cost-effectiveness, reduce pollution and augment the standard quality of living among the ...

For this purpose, a report was published with a summary of the original research and subsequent publications, as well as results from literature since 2005 on the health effects of organic feed ...

Organic agricultural tourism integrates organic, toxin-free natural environments with agricultural industry and cultural lifestyles, creating a liminal space and experience away from everyday life. This study explores how this environment influences tourists' memorable tourism experiences and subjective well-being. The research employed a questionnaire survey targeting tourists engaged in ...
