Organic farming excludes or strictly limits the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and livestock feed additives.

Sustainable agriculture is the practice of farming using principles of ecology. Unlike organic agriculture, sustainable agriculture focuses on the ability of providing food on the long-term. As such, besides artificial fertilizers, and pesticides .it also does not allow the use of agricultural machines running on non-renewable resources.
