The term 'Organic farming' was first coined by:
'ऑर्गेनिक फार्मिंग' (जैविक खेती) शब्द सबसे पहले किसके द्वारा गढ़ा गया था?
EXPLANATION Agro-Climatic Zones, Cropping Systems, Tillage and Crop Establishment

The term 'Organic farming' was coined by Lord Northbourne (Walter Ernest Christopher James) in his 1940 seminal book Look to the Land.
Northbourne derived the concept from his idea of 'the farm as an organic whole'—a biologically complete, living, integrated organism functioning in ecological balance.
Rudolf Steiner (1924) founded Biodynamic Agriculture.
Sir Albert Howard developed modern organic composting principles (An Agricultural Testament, 1940).
Masanobu Fukuoka pioneered Natural Farming (The One-Straw Revolution, 1975).
Bill Mollison co-originated Permaculture.

'ऑर्गेनिक फार्मिंग' (Organic farming) शब्द का सर्वप्रथम प्रयोग लॉर्ड नॉर्थबॉर्न (Lord Northbourne) ने अपनी 1940 की प्रसिद्ध पुस्तक लुक टू द लैंड (Look to the Land) में किया था।
उन्होंने खेत को एक 'जैविक समग्र' (the farm as an organic whole / एक जीवित समन्वित जीव) के रूप में देखा जो पारिस्थितिक संतुलन में कार्य करता है।
रुडोल्फ स्टीनर (1924) ने बायोडायनामिक खेती की स्थापना की।
सर अल्बर्ट हॉवर्ड ने आधुनिक जैविक कंपोस्टिंग सिद्धांतों को प्रतिपादित किया।
मासानोबु फुकुओका ने 'प्राकृतिक खेती' (Natural Farming) की शुरुआत की।
बिल मोलिसन ने परमाकल्चर (Permaculture) की अवधारणा दी।
