  2. Organic farming avoids synthetic chemicals, using natural fertilizers, pest controls, and crop rotations to enhance soil health and biodiversity. Conventional farming relies on synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and genetically modified organisms to maximize yield and manage pests and diseases.
