An organic grower considers nature as an ally. When dealing with the farm, he evaluates natural conditions of soil, climate, rain, local biodiversity and even astral influence over natural cycles.
From this evaluation, which envolves knowledge from diverse sciences such as geology, astronomy, agronomy and ecology, he organizes his production system in a way to favour soil natural balance, preserving its fertility. The organic farming constantly promotes soil nutritional regeneration, providing more efficiency to the whole system.
To do so, he relies on biological inputs. He takes residues as manure, vegetal residues, leaves, ash and others to form a compost that, when applied to soil, will be transformed in humus, an extremely beneficial substance to soil and plants.
Atracted by the organic matter, microorganisms enlive the earth, turning it porous, aerated and permeable to water and air, besides transforming such organic matter into food for plants. Pests and diseases are also controlled by natural methods, in a way to protect the life in the soil.
Consumers of organic products receive the main benefits, since they eat foods rich in nutrients, surely free from any contamination from synthetic chemical substances. The organic farmer, on his turn, have his production costs reduced when avoiding the purchase of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and recycling the residues from his own farm, and the environment is preserved, with great gains in biodiversity.
