Organic farming enhances food security by improving resistance to diseases and pests, combating desertification by reducing soil erosion and protecting water resources, and maintaining and improving environmental services.

My regards,

Oh! yes for the future food security and sustainable use, organic farming is best way to produce food.

I dont think. Permaculture is another alternative where farms are organic, low-input, and bio diverse, and use technique like intercropping,trees, planting perennials, water harvesting and resource recycling. Besite this, bio-synthesized nanoparticles ( nanonutrients or nanopesticides) has great potential to increase crop yield and maintenance of soil health.

I highly support that overall Organic farming is the solution is best solution for food security however different cultures and climate etc may have better suitable techniques in their region on how to raise up food organically.

I partly support the ideas of organic farming as the best solution to future food security. As food requirement is gradually increasing, mechanization of agriculture must be needed to increase yield fulfilling the requirement of the population.

Emerging technologies have the potential to reduce agrochemical inputs by 80-90% without yield loss. Lets take the best principles of organic, permaculture and technology driven agriculture to create a low input sustainable agriculture that can feed the world and release marginal land to re-naturalise.

I agree with @ J.C. Tarafdar and David Pettitt. Various farming systems are deemed unsustainable because they do not address the economic , social and environmental aspect of food production. Environmental management is critical for sustained land use that would guarantee profits for growers at the same time addressing the social issues

Urban farming through modern technology can revolutionize food security for produce but grains will continue to be difficult.

Organic agriculture is just one of the ways to combat food security. With the rapid growth in the world's population, organic agriculture cannot sustain in terms of food quantity presently but it's actually the most sustainable food practice. Organic agric might be the head for future food security, provided better policies, emerging innovative and sustainable technologies support organic farming. I see organic agriculture to be the future but the scale is 3/10 right now and we don't have time.

My question will be. Can we feed the whole world, only with organic agriculture?

Excellent discussion, I agree with J. C. Tarafdar , David Pettitt , and Triumph N Numfor . and for Urcil Papito Kenfack Essougong question my replay will be no, we can't feed the whole world only with organic agriculture.

Though organic farming sounds very polite but what if we starve because of it ? so for me organic farming seems to be an alternative but may not be best in terms of production ,though it can be claimed that the production gets starting to increase after a long practice but the practices such as permaculture, GAPs seems to be more logical and promising.Without any question the practice more close to nature will be best but it should be able to feed the world.

Organic Agriculture contributes to food security by a combination of many features, most notably by: Increasing yields in low-input areas. Conserving biodiversity and nature resources on the farm and in the surrounding area. Increasing income and/or reducing costs.

The best alternative to provide quality food to the world

Following balanced fertilization and soil test based fertilizer application have also potential to sustain soil health and crop productivity

Yes, the development of organic farming is an important element in the implementation of sustainable development principles into economic processes, including in the field of agriculture.

Organic farming can feed the world. Long-term research studies from Rodale Institute show that organic production can equal conventional yields and even outperform it in drought. Other conclusions from the study state that organic farming systems build rather than deplete the soil and that organic farming uses 45 percent less energy.

Not only solution.

It is the safe for now with more research, the world is not static, new problems,new solution. The world keep on solving it immediate challenges.

The current importance of ecological agriculture stems from the following advantages of this cultivation system: less contaminated air, water and agricultural food products; safe working conditions for farmers; biodiversity; fertile and healthy soul; reduction of the loss of nutrients due to leaching; reduction in soil erosion; efficient use of water resources; nutrient quality of ecological products; environmental protection; less extensive use of non-renewable resources; reduction of risks for farmers; protection of the future generations; and economic advantages.

Ecological agriculture has been constantly developing in recent years across all the continents but organic farming cannot feed the world.

Agriculture is much more than producing healthy, high-quality foods. Therefore, I support agroecology, which integrates ecology, farming and more sciences, culture, anthropology, sociology, economics, indigenous knowledge of growing food, to guide research and action toward an ecologically sound and just transformation of the food system. The websites Agroecology in Action (http://agroeco.org/) and ATTRA Sustainable Agriculture Program (https://attra.ncat.org/), continue to be excellent resources to learn about agroecology and its applications to food production, in diverse environments, including urban settings. Also, the Latin American Society of Agroecology (SOCLA) is another important resource. It is now offered also in Spanish, on its web site (https://www.soclaglobal.com/), with technical information to divulge agroecology principles across countries in meso and south America. La Via Campesina (https://viacampesina.org/en/) is an outstanding network of a peasants’ movement interested in food justice, sovereignty and security around the world, continuing to serve agroecology from the socio-cultural aspects of peasant agriculture and rural communities living.

Regenerative agriculture is the solution.

Organic farming is one way, but there are many challenges to food security. I have observed in Africa, food security is threatened by lack of market and subdivision of land to uneconomical sizes.

Organic farming enhances food security by improving resistance to diseases and pests, combating desertification by reducing soil erosion and protecting water resources, and maintaining and improving environmental services.
