Organic gardening is a form of agriculture that does not use synthetic artificial fertilizers, pesticides and genetically modified organisms. The goals of organic gardening is to maintain diverse crops, keep soils healthy, reduce pollution, avoid synthetic artificial fertilizers and pesticides in gardening, and promote environmental friendliness and biodiversity.

Organic gardening avoids the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides and instead relies on an ecologically sound approach. The avoidance of pesticide residue adds greater nutritional benefits of organic food, effectively conserves crop soils, and promotes biodiversity of organisms in the garden. Conventional farming allows the use of chemical herbicides and pesticides to control or eradicate weeds while organic gardening promotes the rotation of crops, tilling, hand picking or mulching to control the weeds and uses no form of pesticides.

Since organic food is picked when it is ripe, the food has been able to absorb all the traces of vitamins and minerals which is lacking in conventional foods. Conventional foods are picked when the vegetables are still green thus not having the opportunity to absorb all the vitamins and minerals that the soil offers.
