Organic evolution of agriculture
Agriculture enabled people to settle down and build cities which could be supplied with foods from the neighboring farms.
As cities grew, increasing demand for the production of grains, vegetables, dairy and meatmade farmers concentrate on cultivating particular crops or dedicated raising of certain type of livestock. Later, industrial production began taking over pushing out family farmers out of the food production business. But the evolution of agriculture is demanding the return to the organic methods of cultivation and the principles of natural and fair distribution of resources.
Modern agriculture is the use of land to convert petroleum into food.
Prof. Albert Barlett, University of Colorado
The modern agronomy in conventional farming is no longer considering soil as the ultimate source of nutrients for the plants healthy growth. Extensive use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides tried to put the soil and the living components of hte soil behind. As more and more farmers begin to realize that agrochemical companies sell nothing more than substitutes of the natural fertilizers and the biological means of crops protection, organic farming methods re-establish in the industry with more advnaced organic practices such as bio-dynamics.
The organic evolution in agriculture is taking place naturally and without any aggressive marketing. Organic farming is a natural response to the growing awareness of the consumers around the world about the nutrient values of food they eat, living in the urban conditions to which agriculture had put them to.
