Bio-Agriculture
What the organic one?
The organic farming is a mode of production which aims to bring closer to the maximum of the natural conditions of life of the animals and the plants.

This basic principle is declined on the objectives and the methods following:

Organic farming in order to

•to provide products of quality
• to respect the environment
• to establish direct relationships with the consumers.

     * Organic farming developed under the impulse of producers who organized themselves in order to promote an alternative mode of agricultural production which rests on ethical principles: ecological, social and economic.

Ecological objectives
"The respect of the natural ecosystems"
It is the essential rule of the organic farming, it leads to the refusal of the recourse to the chemicals of synthesis and aims to:
• To preserve natural balances of the ground and the plants.
• To choose the plant species adapted to the natural conditions.
• To preserve the biodiversity.

Social objectives
• The search for new balances
• To respect the human health and animal
• To rather privilege the reports of co-operation than of competition
• To respect equity enters the various actors of the dies
• To propose healthy and balanced food
• To draw up direct links with the consumers.

Economic objectives
  • The search for a coherent economic development,
  • The limitation of the chemical inputs of synthesis is accompanied by a need for additional labor and takes part in a satisfactory economic equilibrium of the exploitations.
  • The actors of the agrobiologic die seek to maintain a bond privileged with the consumers: the practice of the direct sales makes it possible at the two ends of the agroalimentary die to meet and exchange on the bonds which link them. Adapted to all the types of natural contexts.

A healthy food
  • By limiting to the maximum the presence of chemical residues of synthesis in the plants as well as the various additives added to the products at the time of their transformation, in order to propose to the consumer healthy and balanced food.  

A guarantee  
      * Organic farming is thus essentially a production of quality. It cannot be however freed from pollution external or residual of the grounds.

Innovating husbandries
  • The agrobiologists develop practices innovating as regards fertilization (green manures, catch crops, compost), of weeding (false sowing), of association of cultures and rotation. The fight against the parasites is entrusted to the predatory ones or plants.
  • These practices are for the producers, permanently in search of one better, the occasion to revalorize their trade and of réapproprier of know-how, to produce direction.

Finally; it makes it possible to preserve the autonomy of the producers compared to the agroalimentary firms.
