Organic agriculture refers to the farming of crops or livestock without the use of synthetic inputs. That includes synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, plant growth regulators, nanomaterials, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs).² This doesn’t mean organic farming is chemical or pesticide-free. Chemicals are often used in organic farming, but most are not synthetically manufactured; there are a few exceptions that have been approved by the National Organic Program of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).³ Conventional — sometimes called “industrial” — farming is any agricultural system that uses one or more of the above synthetic inputs.

Organic agriculture almost always proved better on the metric of “ecotoxicity”. This measures how harmful a farming system’s chemical inputs — which are mostly pesticides — are to plants, insects, and aquatic life in the local environment. Particular chemicals have an ecotoxicity score, which is multiplied by the amount of each substance applied. Across the studies that measured it, organic farming almost always had much lower ecotoxicity than conventional farming.

Since most synthetic pesticides are banned in organic agriculture, farmers often rely more on mechanical tillage to remove weeds. That not only burns more fuel from the machinery, but can also release carbon from the soil in the form of CO₂.

100% agreed.

Not only toxic pesticides but also the fertilizers that are being used now-a-days are doing no good to the humanity or overall life. I believe these should be stopped instantly..
