The difference between organic farming and conventional farming is significant from environmental and health perspectives. Organic farming is mainly based on agroecology, where biodiversity, microbial balance, and sustainability are maintained. On the other hand, conventional farming uses synthetic fertilizers and chemicals to produce higher yields, which can cause long-term soil erosion and degradation. Pesticide-residue can remain in food, which is risky for human health. The main advantage of organic farming is that it is regenerative, where fertility is increased through composting and natural methods. This increases soil resilience and makes it sustainable in the long term. On the other hand, although conventional farming is more profitable, it creates ecotoxicology in the environment. Monoculture farming gradually destroys the soil's nutrient-dense components. Through proper planning and integrated agricultural systems, holistic solutions can be found between both methods. In the future, subsidization and technology will make organic farming more advanced.
