The Definition of Organic Agriculture
有机农业的定义
‘Organic agriculture is a production system that sustains
the health of soils, ecosystems and people.
It relies on ecological processes, biodiversity and
cycles adapted to local conditions, rather than the use of
inputs with adverse effects.
Organic agriculture combines tradition, innovation and
science to benefit the shared environment and promote fair
relationships and a good quality of life for all involved.’
有机农业是一种能维护土壤、生态系统和人类健康的生产体系,她
遵从当地的生态节律、生物多样性和自然规律,而不依赖会带来不
利影响的投入物质。有机农业是传统农业、创新思维和科学技术的
结合,她有利于保护我们所共享的生存环境,也有利于促进包括人
类在内的自然界的公平与和谐共生。
4. UNITINGTHEORGANICWORLD
The Four Principles of Organic Agriculture
有机农业的四大原则
Organic agriculture is based on / 有机农业是建立
在如下四大原则基础上的 :
• The principle of health / 健康原则
• The principle of ecology / 生态原则
• The principle of fairness / 公平原则
• The principle of care / 关爱原则
The Principle of Ecology states: ‘Organic Agriculture
should be based on living ecological systems and
cycles, work with them, emulate them and help sustain
them. / 生态原则:有机农业应当建立在灵动的生态系统和
生态循环基础上,与生态和谐相处,与生态休戚与共,为生

Alternatives to External Inputs
有机农业可以不依赖外来物质
Purchasing external inputs is costly and at times
logistically difficult for most of the world’s farmers:
smallholders in developing countries. / 对于世界上大
多数农民,特别是发展中国家的小农户来说,购买外部
投入物质费用高,而且运输、管理和使用难度大
The ability to generate effective alternatives to external
inputs on farm at no or low costs, while getting good
yields, increases the viability of farms / 有机农业依靠
自身所产生的零成本或低成本的物质来取代外部投入物
质,并获得好收成的能力,增强了农地的生命力

有机农业是一种可持续的农业生产体系
Organic agriculture is not only benefiting human health,
but even more importantly protecting environment and
ecosystem, promoting fairness and care for all involved
有机农业不仅仅是有利于人类健康 ,更重要的是保护了环境与生

Organic agriculture – has a lot of alternative measures
and does not rely on external inputs
有机农业可以采取很多可替代的措施而不必依赖外来投入物质,
Proper managing and implementing of organic farms
can keep and even increase crop yields
正确地管理和实施有机农业不但能保产,甚至还能增产
Organic Agriculture and the Millennium
Development Goals
The push-pull method is an integrated production system, in which a crop combination deals with a number of issues at once:
Insect pest: the stem borer in the corn filed are repelled by the cover crop Desmodium, and attracted by the Napier grass, a trap crop planted around the field.
Desmodium is also attractive to the natural enemies of the stem borer, so the few that enter the field are readily parasitized.
The parasitic weed Striga weed is controlled by Desmodium, which stops its growth through exudates from the roots
Erosion is stopped, the ground being covered in permanence.
In addition to high corn yields, the system also produces fodder for livestock
In this “conservation” agriculture system, the soil fertility is enhanced at each cropping cycle, Desmodium being a legume, fixing nitrogen, manure form the livestock brings back N and other important nutrients.
The push-pull system, developed at the ICIPE in Nairobi, has been featured in Wired Magazine last November on the future of food
