The organic farm is in accordance with the organic agricultural production standard, in the production of non use of genetic engineering and biotechnology and its products, the use of chemical synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, growth regulators, feed additives and other substances, follow the laws of nature and ecology principle, coordination of planting industry balance, a farm with a series of sustainable agriculture in order to maintain stable and sustainable technology of agricultural production system.
What are the characteristics of
Organic farms can provide pollution-free, good taste, edible safe environmental protection food to the society.
The large application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides can not only increase the output of agricultural products, but also cause pollution to agricultural products. Today, a large increase in human disease, especially in various types of cancer increased significantly, all closely related to pesticide pollution. Organic farms do not use chemical fertilizers, pesticides and other chemicals, may cause pollution of industrial waste and city garbage, so it is very safe and edible products, with good quality, favorable protection of human health.
Organic farms can mitigate environmental pollution and restore ecological balance.
Now the utilization rate of chemical fertilizer is very low, the general nitrogen is only 20-40%, pesticide in the crop attachment rate of not more than 10-30%, the rest of the large inflow of environmental pollution. Pesticides in pest kill bacteria at the same time, also increase the pest resistance, killing beneficial organisms and some biological results caused by pests and neutral, rampant, the dosage of pesticide is getting bigger, more and more application times, into a vicious spiral. Use organic agricultural production mode, can reduce pollution, help to restore ecological balance.
Organic farm is conducive to increasing rural employment, farmers income, improve agricultural production level.
Organic farm labor is a knowledge intensive industry, is a systematic project, need a lot of labor, but also requires a lot of knowledge or technology, especially pest problems difficult to solve, but also need to have new ideas. Organic agricultural food prices in the international market is generally higher than the general product 20-50%, some more than double. Therefore, organic farms can increase rural demand, increase farmers' income, improve agricultural production and promote sustainable development of rural areas.
Development prospect of organic farm in China
In China, the development of organic farms has many advantages and broad prospects for development.
The development of organic farming in China began in 80s 1984, China Agricultural University began the ecological agriculture and organic food research and development, in 1988 the State Environmental Protection Bureau of Nanjing Institute of Environmental Sciences started organic food research work, and become the international organic agriculture movement union membership. October 1994 National Environmental Protection Bureau formally set up organic food development center, China's organic food development to regularization.
First of all, China has a long history of traditional agriculture, combined with and kept in fertility often new, intensive and meticulous farming, agriculture and animal husbandry, has accumulated rich experience, this is also the essence of organic agriculture. Organic agriculture is a new application of traditional agriculture on the basis of traditional agriculture, relying on modern scientific knowledge and guided by the principles of biology, ecology and soil science.
Secondly, China has its geographical advantage, agricultural ecological landscape diversity, the production conditions vary, although the subject of agricultural China still rely on a large number of conventional agricultural chemicals, but there are still many places, mostly concentrated in the remote mountainous areas and poverty-stricken areas, farmers have little or no chemical fertilizers and pesticides, which also provides a basis for the development of favorable development organic agriculture.
Third, the production of organic agriculture is a labor-intensive industry, China's rural labor force, which is conducive to the development of organic food, but also can solve a large number of rural surplus labor.
Fourth, with China's accession to the footsteps of WTO approaching, China's agricultural exports will be limited by green non trade barriers, the development of organic food can be in line with international standards, can open up international markets. At the same time, with the improvement of people's living standards and environmental awareness, organic food in the domestic market in recent years will have greater development, so organic food at home and abroad will have broad prospects for development.
