Extended Abstract

Introduction and objectives

However, feeding this population involves an increase in agricultural production, many restrictions exist in the use of natural resources, energy, and farmlands. Modern agriculture has reduced resource constraints and increased agricultural productivity. Nevertheless, the use of chemical inputs such as pesticides and chemical fertilizers has created serious environmental and health problems. So that, organic agriculture is well known as a feasible solution for modern agriculture crisis. Organic agriculture is defined as a production system that promotes human, plant, animal, and soil health, sustains ecological systems and biodiversity, ensures fairness regarding the environment and life opportunities, and preserves the health of future generations and the environment. Meanwhile, farmers should be considered as the most important actors and producers of healthy and organic products in this field. In order to expand organic agriculture, the factors preventing and promoting the production of healthy and organic agricultural products by organic farmers should be investigated.
