Organic farming thinks in terms of cycles. Its goals are:
To make use of natural cycles
To use resources efficiently
Promoting biodiversity
Strengthening the foundation for food production
Organic farming is based on natural cycles.
Organic waste is reused instead of being discarded.
Organic farming supports the preservation of the environment and biodiversity.
Important foundations for long-term food production are strengthened.
Plants nourish the soil, and the soil nourishes the plants. Organic residues are returned to the natural cycle instead of being lost. This ensures that resources are used efficiently and strengthens the foundation for agriculture and food production. This benefits the environment, biodiversity, and long-term food production. Numerous agroecological practices demonstrate how the circular economy works in practice.
The correct term, as defined by law, is EU Regulation 2018/848, which sets out European rules for organic products.
