The European Network for
Scientific Research Coordination in Organic Farming
. Organic farmers realize that the soil is a living entity, therefore
organic practices feed the soil which in turn feed the plant. Organic farming is
a management intensive, not a material intensive, technology; materials are a
supplementary tool in a balanced farm management program. Organic farmers
attempt to understand and work in harmony with the natural biological systems on
the farm, not override them with chemicals (even naturally derived ones). They
strive to develop cultural and biological means of crop nutrition and protection
that are balanced, sustainable, and resilient.
