change,
look)
2.

4.

(include

Approaches
to
Conversion
to
Organic
Agriculture
• Ver>cal
conversion
–
gradual
shiq
from
the
usual
prac>ce
and
slowly
increasing
the
use
of
locally
available
resources
(compost,
manure,
etc.,),
minimized
abrupt
changes
in
the
system
• Horizontal
conversion
–
complete
conversion
of
the
farm
star>ng
from
a
small
percentage
(10%),
conversion
of
the
hall
farm
is
gradual.
– Carefully
prepare
a
plan
for
conversion.
