ORGANIC FARMING
Definition of Organic Farming
Organic farming means growing crops for food using
earth-friendly methods. Farmers who practise organic
farming do not use chemical fertilisers or pesticides.
Instead, they use home-made compost or grow green
fertiliser plants. They also practise the rotation system
to increase their harvest.
How to Make Compost
Compost is a prepared mixture that provides nutrients
to the soil. It is made from organic materials found in
the kitchen or garden. To make compost, prepare a large
bin with holes all around it.
Then fill bin with layers of dead leaves, cut grass,
dried twigs, vegetables and fruit peel as well as
leftovers. Manure may be added. Leave these
organic wastes to rot.
Planting Green Fertiliser Plants
Green fertiliser plants such as green peas and soya beans belong to
the legume family. They are grown to increase the nitrogen and
organic content in the soil. The result can be achieved in just six
to eight weeks.

Systems of Growing Crops

The first system is to grow a variety of crops on a plot of land at
one time. The second system is to grow different crops at different
times in a rational manner. The farmer may begin with growing long
beans, followed by green leafy vegetable, then brinjals, and finally
tuber plants such as sweet potatoes. These two systems are good
for the soil and the living things in it.

Conclusion
Organic farming produces high quality crops that are safe to eat.
It also protects the soil, air and water as no chemical are used.
This method of farming ensures that all living organisms in the
ecosystem live in a balanced and harmonious state.

their form teacher, Puan Raja.

The first place they visited was a

poultry farm. At the poultry farm, saw
many chickens. They also got a chance to
see how the eggs were hatched.
 Next, they went to the
cowshed. Here, they saw

vegetable farm. They got a chance to see

carrots, cabbages, long beans and chillies.
They also noticed how the workers pick
and pack the vegetables.
After that, Johan and his classmates
visited the fish pond. There were many
fish in the fish pond. They also took the
opportunity to catch some fish using a net.
 It was six in the evening.Johan and his
classmates were tired. They wanted to go
home. Puan Raja told them to pack the
things they bought from the farm such as
vegetables and fish. They left Happy
Agrofarm feeling happy and excited. They
had a wonderful time at the poultry farm,
the cowshed, the vegetable farm, and the
fish pond. They arrived at the school at
