Abstract

Organic farming practices have gained attention for their potential to promote horticultural sustainability. These practices focus on ecological, economic, and social dimensions, utilizing natural processes and resources, minimizing synthetic inputs, and promoting soil fertility, biodiversity, and ecosystem health. They also reduce soil erosion, improve water retention, and mitigate environmental pollution, ensuring the long-term viability of horticultural production systems. Economically, organic farming offers both challenges and opportunities, with premium prices, reduced input costs, and improved profitability. Socially, organic farming promotes the well-being of farmers and communities, reducing exposure to harmful chemicals, and fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing. Successful implementation requires ongoing research, extension services, and policy support to optimize the benefits of organic farming for horticultural production and global food security.
