National Conference On Organic Agriculture 2008

04 -06 November 2008, Sheraton Subang Hotels and Towers

Organic farming is a system of farming which avoids the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, growth regulators, feed additives and other chemicals. The farming system makes use of crop rotations, animal manure, recycling of farm waste, composting, biodiversity, and soil erosion measures. The ultimate aim of organic growers is to turn the soil into a ‘living soil’ - a system with high level of organic matter and biological life. Food safety concerns have sparked the global growth of organic agriculture worldwide with a growth expansion of 15–20%. Other concerns include providing a more profitable farm income and promoting environmental stewardship by:

i) protecting and improving soil quality

ii) reducing dependence on non-renewable resources, such as fuel and minimizing adverse

impacts on safety, wildlife, water quality and other environmental resources

iii) promoting stable, prosperous farm families and communities
