Synopsis
This study highlights the importance of pesticide-free agricultural production for human health, environmental sustainability, and economic efficiency. Various alternative methods are explored for this purpose, including the use of organic or green manure, compost, crop rotation with controlled biological pests, and polyculture. These techniques aim to increase soil fertility, biodiversity, and water efficiency while simultaneously reducing the burden on chemical dependency. The study also examines integrated agricultural approaches that combine biological, mechanical, and cultural practices to ensure sustainable production. National and international organizations that support pesticide-free and organic agriculture through training, certification, and financial support are also cited. The study concludes that promoting pesticide-free agriculture is vital for creating a healthier agricultural ecosystem and recommends integrating such practices into national agricultural policies.
