10 Surprising Benefits of Organic Farming You Need to Know About

Since the onset of COVID-19 pandemic which made many people remain indoors, I have developed an interest in farming, but not just conventional farming practices. I have been keen at muddying my hands into organic farming and as it stands I am not just about to leave. I have done several trials and I am pressing on with this amazing discovery.

Here are ten surprising benefits of organic farming that you might want to consider as you think of shifting from conventional farming practices:

Better soil health: Organic farming practices prioritize the use of natural fertilizers and crop rotation, leading to healthier and more nutrient-dense soil.


Improved water quality: Organic farming practices reduce water pollution by reducing the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides that can leach into the water supply.


Enhanced biodiversity: Organic farms typically have more diverse ecosystems, including pollinator-friendly plants, which support a wider range of wildlife.


Increased food security: Organic farming practices often focus on local production and distribution, which can improve access to fresh, healthy food and help reduce food insecurity.


Better animal welfare: Organic farming practices often prioritize animal welfare, including access to the outdoors and natural feed sources, leading to healthier and happier livestock.


Reduced greenhouse gas emissions: Organic farming practices often use less fossil fuels and generate fewer greenhouse gas emissions than conventional farming methods.


Improved human health: Organic foods are free of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers that can be harmful to human health, and may also have higher nutrient levels.


Increased profitability: While organic farming requires more labor and management than conventional farming, it can be more profitable due to higher prices for organic products and lower input costs.


Reduced environmental impact: Organic farming practices prioritize conservation and sustainability, leading to reduced pollution, soil erosion, and other environmental impacts.


Enhanced community connections: Organic farms often prioritize local distribution and community engagement, which can help build stronger connections between farmers and consumers.
