How do you define organic farming?

Organic farming is the production of crops and livestock without synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, hormones, drugs and artificial techniques.

Now, if you’d like to go beyond just a definition, say maybe, get a degree, then the place to go is the University of Florida.

UF's major is one of the first in the country, announced around the same time as a program at the University of Washington. Five students have signed up for the UF major, and the organic crop production class is expected to attract more, said Melissa A. Webb, coordinator of academic support services for horticultural sciences.
