Descripción
Organic agriculture creates productive landscapes: it successfully reconciles food production and environmental conservation. Organic management relies on local human resources and knowledge to enhance natural resource processes, respecting ecological carrying capacities. By reducing dependence on off-farm inputs and creating more balanced nutrient and energy flows, ecosystem resilience is strengthened, food security is increased and additional incomes are generated. Hence, organic agriculture r esponds positively to all Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development (SARD) objectives.
