People have always had their dietary needs met, directly or indirectly, by
agricultural produce. With the increasing world population, the need for
human populations to maximise agricultural productivity models over time
is necessary to meet an increasing demand for food. Recently, thousands
of different synthetic agro-chemicals have been used to suppress pests and
diseases, and to increase the yield in “modernised” agriculture. Nowadays,
conventional pest and nutrient management systems have increased
dependency on synthetic chemical inputs, as well as making agriculture
unsustainable. The problems of conventional agriculture production have
led people to seek alternative production systems such as “Organic Production
Models”. Organic agriculture is a global, fast-growing, sustainable production
model that supports the ecosystem and human health. This system improves
the degraded ecological balance, reduces agricultural inputs and activities, and
uses natural preparations instead of synthetic fertilisers, pesticides and
hormones that are harmful to human and environmental health. The aim of
this chapter is to examine the aspects of conventional agricultural production
that prevent sustainability, and to suggest solutions based on organic farming
practices to overcome this problem.
