What’s In
The fundamental
fundamental princi
principles
ples of organic farming are as fol
follows:
lows:
to view the farm as a single system or "organism" that exists within
the context of a local ecosystem;
to protect the balance of relationships within the farm’s own system,
as well as those existing between the farm’s system and the
surrounding ecosystem;
to maintain a marked degree of biodiversity within the system, so as
to promote the control of parasites and destructive organis
organisms;
ms;
to encourage the biological cyclicity of the natural system, paying
particular attention to the cycle of organic substances, so as to
promote humification

to make maximum use of solar energy and to reduce the use of all
types of external input to an absolute minimum.
