As an edited volume, this work combines contributions from leading researchers, practitioners, and advocates who have dedicated their careers to advancing organic agriculture. Each chapter delves into a key aspect of organic farming, including soil health, pest and disease management, crop rotation, livestock integration, water use efficiency, and the role of organic practices in addressing climate change. The authors explore both scientific findings and practical applications, making this volume a valuable resource for students, researchers, policymakers, and farmers alike.

The book is divided into thematic sections, beginning with the fundamental principles that underpin organic farming. Following this foundation, chapters discuss the various practices that sustain organic systems, from soil-building techniques to biodiversity enhancement. The latter sections explore current innovations and the future of organic farming in response to global environmental and economic pressures. Throughout, the emphasis is on the dynamic and evolving nature of organic agriculture, which continually adapts to meet the needs of farmers, consumers, and the environment.
