soil depletion
low food quality
yields
all of the above
Who was the first to use the term "organic farming"?
Rudolf Steiner
Lord Northbourne
International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM)

Which governing body created the "regulations on organic farming are designed to provide a clear structure for the production of organic goods, thereby satisfying both consumer demand for trustworthy organic products and a fair marketplace for producers and distributors?"
EU
ASEAN
UN
FAO
An agricultural method that aims to produce food using natural substances and processes.
(a)
Organic Farming tends to have a limited environmental impact because it encourages the following except for
The responsible use of energy and natural resources
The maintenance of biodiversity
Preservation of regional ecological balances
Degrades soil fertility
The principle for organic agriculture is that it be managed in a precautionary and responsible manner to protect the health and wellbeing of current and future generations and the environment.
Principle of health
Principle of Ecology
Principle of Fairness
Principle of care
A set of rules for organic production, which govern all areas of organic production and are based on several key principles except for
Maximize the use of GMOs
Forbidding the use of ionizing radiation
Limiting the use of artificial fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides to the minimum
Prohibiting the use of hormones and restricting the use of antibiotics for animal health.
Organic producers need to adopt these specific approaches to maintaining soil fertility and animal and plant health except for
Crop rotation
Monocropping
Cultivation of nitrogen-fixing plants
Encouraging natural pest control
Characteristics of organic agriculture include
Maximized use of synthetic inputs
A focus on external inputs for soil health
Diversification of species, breeds, or varieties
Maintenance or establishment of natural habitats
A response to the criticisms surrounding Green Revolution technology being neither sustainable nor feasible for many small-scale farmers around the world
(a)
An approach referring to a set of agronomic practices that aim to reduce the use of inputs from outside the production system.
(a)
Generally, low external input agriculture follows two principles, those are
Minimizing the use of external inputs in the farm system and optimizing the management and use of internal production inputs.
Enhancement of soil fertility and maintenance of water quality.
Contribute to generating/building soils, soil fertility, and health and increase biodiversity and ecosystem health and resilience.
All of the above
The economic and social principles of LEIA include
Sustained farmer livelihood systems
Utilization of external inputs
Dependency on external institutions
Maximize use of farm heavy equipment
Key LEIA practices that replace fertilizers
(a)
Key LEIA practices that support soil structure, nutrient cycling, and nitrogen fixation.
(a)
The primary focus of regenerative agriculture
(a)
Regenerative agricultural practices that enhance soil aggregation, water infiltration and retention, and carbon sequestration
No-till / minimum tillage
Boosting soil fertility biologically
Building biological ecosystem diversity
All of the above
