Answer:
Organic farming utilizes fewer pesticides, minimizes soil erosion, reduces nitrate leaching into groundwater and surface water, and recycles animal waste back into the farm as compared to conventional agriculture. Though that does sounds promising and advantageous, like any other thing Organic farming has it's cons that made a lot of farmers shy away from the idea
Cons:
Organically Farmed Produce (products) Costs More
Organic food production costs are often higher due to higher labor input and farmers' inability to produce enough of a particular product to minimize the overall cost.
Organic Farming Requires Well Designed Methods To Compete With Conventional Farming
Organic farmers must carefully plan crop rotation and optimal land utilization to manage weeds and pests since they cannot use chemicals. This means they must farm more strategically and may not produce the same crops year after year.
Organic farms have to use their available resources more efficiently and effectively and may have to create their own compost or organic fertilizers rather than buying chemical fertilizers
Organic Farming Is Generally More Labor Intensive
Organic farming is hard work and requires more human physical labor than conventional farming. The larger the area to be cultivated, the more laborers are needed. They have to be accommodated, fed, and provided with a certain level of health care.
Organic farmers must care for their land by using only animal and other organic waste fertilizers, crop rotation, specific cultivation methods, and cover crops to manage soil fertility. They can't use chemicals, so they have to use physical, mechanical, and biological procedures to control pests, illnesses, and weeds.
Thats why farmers from the Philippines do not even think about transitioning to organic farming.
These are just some of it's disadvantages
