Local versus non-local resources, natural versus genetically modified or synthetic inputs, on-site versus off-site activities, and quality versus quantity are differences between organic and non-organic crops. The two types of edibles and ornamentals represent a shortening of the respective terms organically grown crops and non-organically produced crops. Organic production requires only natural inputs and outputs, with attention to environmental well-being, whereas non-organic production may include some natural methods even though the tendency is for chemical, genetically modified, and synthetic inputs and procedures.

What effect does pollen from genetically modified plants have on organically grown plants when they are cross pollinated?

What is the difference between organic farming and genetically modified farming?

Cultivation that does and does not rely upon non-synthesized, non-synthetic inputs and resources is the difference between genetically modified farming and organic farming.
