Integrating Agroecosystems and Biodiversity Conservation

Abstract

Pavel Dodonov*

Organic farming upholds the values of health, ecology, fairness, and caring for all, including the soil, with the goal of promoting human welfare without endangering the environment. Modern organic farming is a concept that combines science, innovation, and tradition. Although history claims that the organic lifestyle movement was first identified in 1905, it gained traction in the late 1990s as people began to realise the negative impacts of modern agriculture. The British botanist Sir Albert Howard, who is frequently cited as the originator of contemporary organic agriculture, researched indigenous Indian farming techniques in 1905 and later grew to value them above mainstream agricultural science. Masanobu Fukuoka, a microbiologist in Japan who specialised in soil science and plant pathology, left his position as a research scientist in 1940 and went back to live with his family.
