Industrial farming systems
Conventional agriculture aims to maximise crop production through intensive farming practices. Farmers commonly use synthetic fertilizers to increase soil nutrients and chemical pesticides to control pests and weeds. Modern machinery and irrigation systems are also widely used to improve efficiency and productivity. While these practices have significantly increased food production, they can also create important environmental challenges.

What is organic farming?
Organic Farming
is an agricultural system that avoids synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, relying instead on natural processes to maintain soil fertility and ecosystem balance.

Impact on soil quality
06. Soil quality
• Higher soil organic matter • Better soil structure • Lower nitrogen leaching.
Impact on biodiversity
- More insects and pollinators
- Reduced pesticide use
07. Biodiversity
Greenhouse gas emissions
• Fertilizers are the main source of emissions• Organic farming reduces synthetic fertilizer use • This can help lower some agricultural emissions
08. Greenhouse emissions
Energy use
- Lower energy consumption
- No synthetic fertilizer production
- More natural processes
09. Energy use
Land use
- Organic yields are often lower
- More land may be needed for the same production
- This is one of the main sustainability challenges

Higher biodiversity
Better soil health
It improves soil quality and supports biodiversity It improves soil quality and supports biodiversity.
Organic farming can reduce several environmental impacts
12. Conclusion

04
Lower energy use
Limitation
It generally requires less energy than conventional farming
lower yields may require more agricultural land

Land use
The amount of land needed to produce a certain quantity of food.
Biodiversity
The variety and abundance of plant and animal species living in agricultural ecosystems.
A great title
When we are told a story, it excites us, it can even move us, making us remember the stories up to 20 times more than any other contentwe can consume.
Soil quality
Soil health and fertility, including organic matter, nutrient availability and the soil’s ability to retain water.
Emissions
Greenhouse gases released by agricultural activities, such as CO₂, methane and nitrous oxide
Conventional agriculture can reduce biodiversity because of the intensive use of pesticides and the simplification of agricultural landscapes. The removal of natural habitats and the widespread use of chemicals can harm insects, birds and other organisms, reducing the diversity of species in farming areas.

Energy use
The amount of energy required for farming activities, including machinery and fertilizer production.
Soil organic matter
Soil Organic Matter (SOM) is the organic material present in the soil, made up of decomposing plant and animal residues, microorganisms, and stable organic substances such as humus. Is commonly used as as an indicator of soil health and soil quality.
