We all know very well that agriculture means human health. We also know that conventional farming methods involve practices that threaten human health. Organic Agriculture is an alternative farming method developed against the negative effects of traditional farming methods and products. It’s a form of agricultural production that aims to protect vital resources such as air and water as well as natural life by preserving the natural balance, is not harmful to human health and the environment, and is controlled and certified at every stage from production to consumption.
A domestic market has started to develop in Turkey in this field with the demand for organic agricultural products in direct proportion to increased sensitivity towards healthy and safe nutrition. Especially in Hatay, which has suitable areas for organic farming. Courtesy of the ecological conditions of Hatay and the surrounding region, where there are rich endemic species, early fruit cultivation has also made progress, and corporate enterprises where medicinal and aromatic plants are processed have started to operate.
