Growth condition Organic farming base on land's
good.

• Organic farming is a form of agriculture which
  avoids or largely excludes the use of synthetic
  fertilizers and pesticides, plant growth
  regulators, and livestock feed additives. As far
  as possible organic farmers rely on crop
  rotation, crop residues, animal manures and
  mechanical cultivation to maintain soil
  productivity and tilth, to supply plant
  nutrients, and to control weeds, insects and
  other pests.
• According to the international organic farming
  organisation IFOAM "The role of organic
  agriculture, whether in farming, processing,
  distribution, or consumption, is to sustain and
  enhance the health of ecosystems and organisms
  from the smallest in the soil to human beings."

Organic products

• Organic food is produced according to certain
  production standards. For crops, it means they
  were grown without the use of conventional
  pesticides, artificial fertilizers, human waste,
  or sewage sludge, and that they were processed
  without ionizing radiation or food additives. For
  animals, it means they were reared without the
  routine use of antibiotics and without the use of
  growth hormones.
• Historically, organic farms have been small
  family-run farms which is why organic food was
  once only available in small stores or farmers'
  markets. Now, organic foods are becoming much
  more widely available organic food sales within
  the United States have enjoyed to 20 percent
  growth for the past few years while sales of
  conventional food have grown at only about 2 to 3
  percent a year. Organic baby food is popular too,
  sales of which increased 21.6 percent in 2006,
  while baby food overall has only grown 3.1
  percent in the same year. This large growth is
  predicted to continue, and many companies are
  jumping into the market.
• For the environment

• In several surveys that have looked at smaller
  studies to build an overall comparison between
  conventional and organic systems of farming a
  general agreement on benefits has been built. In
  these surveys it has been found that
• Organic farms do not release synthetic
  pesticides into the environmentsome of which
  have the potential to harm local wildlife.
• Organic farms are better than conventional
  farms at sustaining diverse ecosystems, i.e.,
  populations of plants and insects, as well as
  animals.
• When calculated either per unit area or per
  unit of yield, organic farms use less energy and
  produce less waste, e.g., waste such as packaging
  materials for chemicals.
• Organic food is expensive
• Critics claim that organic food is more expensive
  than conventional food and thus too highly priced
  to be affordable to persons on a lower income.
  Organic products typically cost 10 to 40 more
  than similar conventionally produced products.
