Organic Farming :- 

 “Organic agriculture can be defined as: an integrated farming system that strives for sustainability, the enhancement of soil fertility and biological diversity whilst, with rare exceptions, prohibiting synthetic pesticides, antibiotics, synthetic fertilizers, genetically modified organisms, and growth hormones”.

 Organic farming is an alternative agricultural system which originated early in the 20th century in reaction to rapidly changing farming practices.

 It relies on fertilizers of organic origin such as compost, manure, green manure, and bone meal and places emphasis on techniques such as crop rotation and companion planting.

 Conservation Agriculture: 

 Conservation Agriculture it is a way of farming that conserves, improves and makes more efficient use of natural resources through integrated management of available resources combined with external inputs. It contributes to environmental conservation as well as to enhanced and sustain agricultural production. It can also be referred to as resource efficient agriculture. 

Conservation agriculture has three basic principles:

Mulching: cover crops protect the soil from erosion and limit weed growth throughout the year. 

 Mix and rotate crops with legume based cropping system.
