Organic farming is primarily based on the principles of enhancement and exploitation of the natural biological cycle.

In organic farming systems there is a strong emphasis on optimising animal welfare, avoiding pollution and improving the environmental infrastructure of the farm.

The aim of organic farming is to work with natural processes rather than seek to dominate them.
