organic-farming
Organic farming is an agricultural system that relies on naturally occurring inputs like compost and green manure, alongside techniques such as crop rotation, companion planting, and biological pest control rather than synthetic chemicals. For plant science, it offers a critical lens for studying how plants respond to natural soil ecosystems, beneficial microbial communities, and ecological interactions that influence growth, health, and yield. Research in this area helps illuminate the underlying plant biology driving sustainable productivity without dependence on synthetic interventions.
