Agricultural knowledge: the difference between traditional agriculture, modern agriculture and organic agriculture

Speaking of agriculture, we often think of modern agriculture. In fact, agriculture is divided into three types: traditional agriculture, modern agriculture, and organic agriculture. These three kinds of agriculture are commonly used in agricultural cultivation, but you know these three kinds of agriculture. What is the meaning and what is the difference? Today Xiaobian talks about the meaning and difference of traditional agriculture, modern agriculture, and organic agriculture.

1 Traditional agriculture

a, meaning

Traditional agriculture refers to the agricultural production mode that uses long-term accumulated agricultural production experience as the main technology. It is characterized by intensive farming and small-area management. It does not use any pesticide chemicals, and uses farmyard manure and compost to fertilize the soil to human and animal power. Tillage, using agricultural and artificial measures or using some soil pesticides for pest control.

b, characteristics

Typical characteristics of traditional agriculture: low degree of mechanization and low output, but the external material input is small and highly sustainable.

2 Modern agriculture

Modern agriculture is characterized by a high concentration, a high degree of specialization, and high labor productivity. Agricultural production is increasingly dependent on machinery, fertilizers and pesticides. However, this kind of agricultural production mode characterized by re-development of light protection, re-production of light management, heavy output, light weight, light efficiency, environmental protection, high input and high output has produced environmental problems, agricultural sustainability issues, food safety. A series of questions such as questions.

2 Modern agriculture

Modern agriculture is characterized by high concentration, high specialization and high labor productivity. It mainly relies on machinery, fertilizers and pesticides. However, this kind of development focuses on light protection, light production and light management, heavy output and light quality, heavy efficiency, light environmental protection and high investment. Agricultural production methods characterized by high output have produced a series of problems, such as environmental issues, agricultural sustainability issues, and food safety issues.

3 Organic Agriculture

a, meaning

Organic agriculture does not use any chemicals and can also protect food safety and the environment. The use of organic fertilizer not only avoids the pollution of organic fertilizer surface water and groundwater, but also ensures the sustainable development of agriculture, and modern agricultural production technology (including selection of resistant varieties, crop rotation, intercropping, intercropping technology, facility agriculture, micro-drip irrigation technology). , pests comprehensive management technology, etc.), to achieve the goal of increasing production.

b, characteristics

(1) Select disease-resistant crop varieties, use intercropping techniques to protect genes and biodiversity, and create an environment that is not conducive to pest growth.

(2) Prohibition of the use of genetically modified products and technology.

(3) Establish a crop rotation system including legumes, use straw to return to the field, apply green manure and animal manure to fertilize the soil and maintain agricultural sustainability.

(4) Adopt physical and biological measures to control pests and diseases and reduce adverse effects on the environment and food safety.

(5) Use reasonable farming measures to protect the environment and prevent soil erosion.
