This document discusses sustainable and organic farming systems in the developing world. It defines sustainable farming as meeting present needs without compromising future demands through stewardship of natural and human resources. Organic farming is defined as a production system that responds to site-specific conditions by integrating cultural, biological, and mechanical practices that foster resource cycling and promote ecological balance. Sustainable and organic farming are important in the developing world due to problems like hunger, which affects 1 billion people, and the need to sustainably feed a growing global population predicted to reach 9.4 billion by 2050, with 8.2 billion living in developing countries.
