Organic farming promotes ecological balance and conservation of nature. This can be achieved by protecting natural habitats, conserving water, and using sustainable farming practices.

Animals in organic systems are provided with conditions that accommodate their natural behaviors, which is achieved through pasture-based feeding, ample space, and the prohibition of non-therapeutic antibiotics and hormones.

Organic farming encourages diverse ecosystems, which includes variety in crops, animals, and other organisms. Applications could include polycultures, integrated pest management, and maintaining habitat for beneficial species.

Organic farming avoids the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, and other inputs. Instead, it relies on natural alternatives and preventive measures for pest and disease control.

A holistic approach to farming management takes into account the interrelationships between soil, plants, animals, humans, and the environment. It includes strategic planning and holistic decision making aiming for sustainability.

Maintaining and improving soil health is fundamental in organic farming. Methods include crop rotation, green manures, composting, and reduced tillage.
