Organic farming is an agricultural production system that aims to grow crops and raise livestock using natural processes and inputs while avoiding synthetic pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, and genetically modified organisms. It emphasizes soil health, biodiversity, and ecological balance, relying on practices such as crop rotation, composting, the use of manure and other organic amendments, biological pest management, and conservation of natural resources. By working with ecological principles rather than relying on synthetic chemical inputs, organic farming seeks to maintain long-term soil fertility, reduce environmental impact, and support sustainable food production. The approach also raises questions about yields, nutrient management, and how to maintain productivity without conventional fertilizers and pesticides, which are active areas of Agronomy Research. Work published in this journal informs these questions, including studies on the response of sorghum varieties to organic and inorganic fertilizer strategies in the Sudan savanna and on the use of bio-fertilizers derived from hay litter, as well as broader analyses of soil fertility and the choices farmers face between organic and inorganic inputs. Such research helps clarify how organic and integrated practices affect crop productivity and resource-use efficiency. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to organic farming and sustainable agronomy.
