Organic farming: An approach to farming based on
biological methods that avoid the use of synthetic crop or livestock production
inputs; also a broadly defined philosophical approach to farming that puts value
on ecological harmony, resource efficiency, and non-intensive animal husbandry
practices. Farmers who wish to have their operations certified as organic so
that they can label their products as organically produced currently follow
standards and submit to inspection by private or state certification
organizations. A National Organic Program is
authorized and being developed.
