Other names for ecological agriculture/-farming are organic or biological. It is based on the premise that the crops take advantage of natural resources to, for example, fight pests, maintain or increase soil fertility, etc., without resorting to synthetic chemicals such as fertilizers, pesticides, antibiotics, and without using any organisms that have been genetically modified. This way, more natural, healthy and nutritious foods are obtained. In addition, it helps to achieve greater sustainability of the environment causing minimal environmental impact.
