Abstract:
In recent times when people are so health conscious, the method of cultivation is an important issue. The debate surrounding the consumption of organic versus conventional vegetables and their respective impacts on human and ecological health has garnered significant attention in modern times. This review paper helps to find out the direct effect of farming methods on crop yielding, antioxidants contents and pesticide exposure. The effect on ecological health like better soil stability, enhanced water percolation, holding capacities and lesser water uses have been found in organic farming. The effects of conventional vegetables and organic vegetables on human health have also been discussed in this review paper. However, the review also acknowledges certain limitations and challenges associated with organic agriculture, including higher production costs and lower yields compared to conventional methods.
