The History of Organic Farming is a fascinating one. Organic farmers do not use synthetic fertilizers and pesticides like conventional farmers and their produce does not come from factory farms. In fact, modern organic farming only began about 40 years ago, during the start of the second world war. At that time there were very few known inorganic practices, but all modern organic farming is considered to be "natural farming". This is because organic farmers strive to provide the same benefits as traditional, non-organic farmers, with the only difference being that they use practices which are more natural and healthy to grow their crops.

One of the most important developments in the history of organic farming has been the environmental movement. This has had a huge influence on farmers, because many farmers are now working towards becoming more self-sufficient with regard to the amount of land that they use. This has had a huge effect on the type of land that is used for growing food. The types of land available were limited because it was either unfit for cultivation or contaminated with dangerous chemicals, such as insecticides and fertilizers. These chemicals can pollute the soil and harm the surrounding environment if used in excess. Organic farmers try to use natural methods and pesticides which pose no threat to the environment.

The production of organic food has also had an enormous effect on the way that organic farming is perceived. Increasing numbers of consumers have become aware of the benefits of eating organic foods and the fact that they are safer for you and the environment. The increase in availability of organic food has meant that prices have fallen considerably, making it affordable for many people. Organic food is also much cheaper than traditional, non-organic agricultural products.

In the early part of the last century, the history of organic farming did not have much of an impact on the local economy. However, after World War I, the demand for farm output dramatically increased and this drove up the price of agricultural products. This created shortages and black markets were established where farmers were able to trade in their surplus. This started the practice of what is known as off-loading. By allowing one farmer to sell their surplus to another farmer for a profit, the prices of the produce increased. This was the beginning of what is called off-loading.

The growth of the organic farming industry meant that there was also an influx of many new names taking part in the organic farming sector. Some of these were well established players who supplied products to the domestic market while others were relatively young companies who were only beginning to provide organic farming supplies to the commercial market. The latter companies would often enter into partnership with established farms to provide them with products that were in excess of the needs of the consumer market. Often the partnership resulted in the production of products that were cheaper than those provided by the farms. Others were introduced to the market by wholesalers who decided that they could take advantage of the sector by stocking it themselves and selling it for a profit.

The history of organic farming covers many aspects of the industry including how it came to be established and how the different players have attempted to manipulate the market to benefit from it. There are many different viewpoints on the subject but the fact remains that it has become a very profitable sector for both farmers and consumers. With a growing demand from the domestic market as well as a steadily increasing supply from wholesalers, farmers are experiencing record profits.
