Vegan organic horticulture and agriculture

Vegan Organic Horticulture and Agriculture aims to produce natural healthy foods without the exploitation or harm of any living creature. It is therefore a method of farming without the use of animal products or byproducts. Vegan organic farming is similar to organic horticulture but does not allow the use of materials such as blood, fish and bone meals or animal manures because the production of these harms animals directly or is associated with the use of animals for meat, milk or leisure activities.

Soil fertility is maintained by the use of green manures, composted vegetable matter and minerals, often supplemented with the addition of human waste such as urine, which provides nitrogen and 'humanure' produced from compost toilets.
