Organic farming is a holistic production management system which promotes and enhances agro-ecosystem health, including biodiversity, biological cycles, and soil biological activity. It emphasises the use of management practices in preference to the use of off-farm inputs, taking into account that regional conditions require locally adapted systems. This is accomplished by using, where possible, agronomic, biological, and mechanical methods, as opposed to using synthetic materials, to fulfil any specific function within the system.

This webinar, conducted by the Global Partnership on Nutrient Management, is part of a series of technical webinars designed to share information and highlight the importance of nutrient flows and their impacts on global society.  This webinar aims to showcase organic farming strategies and their potential to promote sustainable nitrogen management in Africa.
