Eco Friendly Farming Development to Support the Establishment of Sustainable Organic Agriculture: A Review

Abstract

A systematic review has been done to collate all empirical evidence in order to answer a question regarding the development of ecofriendly farming. This farming system nowadays has been developed in order to overcome the negative impact of the application of green revolution technology. As we know, green revolution technology need more chemical inputs to double crop productions, which causes a negative impact on resources, a decrease in crops production, an increase pests and diseases, high residues of inorganic inputs, environmental unbalance and problem for human health. Several studies have proven that the application of organic farming can significantly improve land productivity and reducing the use of chemical inputs. This means that organic farming is a solution for sustainable agricultural development by utilizing renewable resources, avoiding the use of chemical inputs, improving land ecosystems, and maintaining environmental quality. In sustainable agriculture development, integration of livestock and crops is common, where organic waste from livestock and plants is used as organic fertilizer. All these need to be an aspiration as a policy step to build environmentally friendly agriculture towards organic.
