You can take advantage of what nature offers and IMPROVE it without CREATING damage. Recycling of organic WASTES like straw and grass and animal excreta makes great fertilizer. Growing the crops that are native to the region USUALLY ensures that the plants already have high resistance to the local pests. Pests are reduced through multiple-cropping and using bio-pesticides. Building up POPULATIONS of beneficial insects (insects who feed on bad bugs) is a tried-and-true method of pest control. Prevention is the organic farmer’s primary strategy.
