Sustainable Agriculture Organic Farming is becoming more and more popular not only in United States of America and France but also in almost all parts of the world. It is the most healthy proposition available to the consumers. Sustainable Agriculture Organic Farming is the method of optimum utilization of the environmental actors without doing harm to it. The inorganic pesticides as well as insecticides are not used in this form of agricultural farming. The products (crops and the animal products) that are produced through Sustainable Agriculture Organic Farming are a healthier one to consume along with better taste than the usual factory farming products. This method especially emphasizes the symbiosis between the environment and the human community. This means that the organic inputs are utilized in the Sustainable Agriculture Organic Farming process which ensures that
  • On one hand, the food which is being available is of high quality, rich with all required nutritional ingredients and tastier than its counterparts produced through factory farming
  • On the other hand, the environment around us is not affected adversely by the farming procedures.

The food produced through Sustainable Agriculture Organic Farming is characterized by

  • Absence of any kinds of inorganic chemical substances like fertilizers, insecticides or pesticides,
  • Absence of any kind of anti-biotic,
  • Non presence of any kind of externally added hormones,
  • Absence of any sort of materials which are genetically modified

But in this highly profitable proposition, the multinational corporations are getting involved in it which are aggressively becoming industrial organics and are violating the basic norms of sustainable agriculture. Some of these violations involve lack of free space for the animals meant for grazing and are bred indoor. These transnational corporations (TNCs) are bypassing the small farmers for production of crops.Though these TNCs require certifications from the US government but there is no strict administrative machinery to oversee the process of its production. Hence, it is being observed that genetical modification, use of externally injected hormones and antibiotics are rampant in these so called organic products.

Thus, the real Sustainable Agriculture Organic Farming can only be found in the country sides where the small farming communities practice this organic farming which are very much the sustainable ones.
