Mahepõllumajanduslike

Mahepõllumajanduslik refers to practices and principles associated with organic farming. In Estonia and other regions where the term is used, it signifies a system of agriculture that aims to produce food in a way that is environmentally sustainable and socially responsible. This approach emphasizes ecological balance and the conservation of biodiversity.

Key characteristics of mahepõllumajanduslik farming include avoiding synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. Instead, it relies on natural processes and materials to maintain soil fertility and control pests. Crop rotation, the use of cover crops, and the incorporation of organic matter are common techniques to enhance soil health. Animal welfare is also a significant aspect, with regulations typically requiring that animals have access to pasture and are raised without routine antibiotics or growth hormones.

The certification of mahepõllumajanduslik products is a crucial element, ensuring that consumers can identify and trust goods produced according to organic standards. This certification process involves inspections and adherence to strict guidelines set by regulatory bodies. The goal is to provide consumers with food that is perceived as healthier and produced with greater care for the environment. Mahepõllumajanduslik farming contributes to reduced pollution of air, water, and soil, and supports a more resilient agricultural ecosystem.
