Özet

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.
