Organic farms are a relatively recent agricultural system that originated in the 20th century in response to demands for alternative farming practices. Certified organic agriculture accounts for 70 million hectares globally, with more than half of that in Australia.
Organic farms are defined as those that use fertilizers of organic origin such as compost, manure, and bone meal and focuses on crop rotation, companion planting, and providing animals with natural living conditions and feed that is certified as organic. Biological pest control, the fostering of insect predators, and mixed cropping are encouraged while limiting or prohibiting synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. In addition, genetically modified organisms, human sewage sludge, plant growth regulators, hormones, antibiotics, and nanomaterials are strictly prohibited as organic farms are based in sustainability, openness, self-sufficiency, health, food security, food safety, and autonomy.
Organic farming methods are internationally regulated and legally enforced by many nations based on standards set by the International Federation of Organic Agricultural Movements (IFOAM) established in 1972. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service, there are approximately 14,000 certified organic farms in the U.S.
