The concern for the environment with our current pace of development and needs of larger food production areas requires rational consideration about the most appopriate solutions for further developing of our farming system. Based on our current agricultural practices and techniques, humankind is over interfering with our natural ecosystem. In my assignment, I focused on environmental differences between organic agriculture (OA) and conventional agriculture (CA) while also exploring their advantages and disadvantages. The main question is focusing around OA being friendlier to the environment as alternarnative farming system as opposed to the usage of CA. Crop rotation, fertilizing, pest management, tillage as well as biodiversity are essential elements in determinating the success of farming. I found out that all the results of the experiments are more inclined towards usage of OA. However, no extremes lead to improvements, meaning that for further growth a healthy combination of both practices is required.
