Excessive use of inorganic chemicals results in adverse impacts on land and plants. In the midst of the community, there is anxiety about the high content of pesticide residues in agricultural products. There is a need to develop alternative farming systems that are able to produce quantities and quality of healthy products in a sustainable manner. One agricultural system that supports the concept is the organic farming system. The basic principles of organic farming are: (1) Keeping the ecosystem healthy, (2) Applying the principle of efficiency to the cultivation system, (3) Conducting production activities with the concept of sustainable agriculture, (4) Producing pesticide-free products, and (6) Maintaining environmental sustainability. Food Crop Production Study Program Lampung State Polytechnic makes Organic Agriculture as one of the leading competencies for its graduates. The establishment of the Organic Agriculture Business Unit on campus will increase student competencies, foster entrepreneurship, be a place for competency internships, and as an independent source of income.

This text aims to introduce the results of the ecological footprint (EF) calculations in the system of organic agriculture (OA). The EF is an alternative indicator of the human activity impact on the environment. It is not calculated in monetary units but in hectares as an area needed for resourcing certain production or activity. OA is an agricultural system which respects natural cycles in ecosystems. It is based on old traditions and nowadays, with regard to environmental degradation, comes again forward. The text contains as well the results of some other researches studying mainly energy consumption in agriculture, which is further converted into the EF. The results, however, need to be compared very carefully, since the procedures of calculations as well as the organic farming rules in various countries or particular farms conditions and quality of input data of the mentioned studies may significantly differ. The authors cite them mainly because of illustrative reasons.

A weed is a plant that is considered to be nuisance and unwanted plant in human-controlled settings,especially farm field and garden. The weed that grow in surrounding of crop could decrease yield due to competitionoccur between weed and crop on nutrition, sunlight and water. Organic farming system which has been developednowadays is an environmental friendly organic farming system. The objective of this research is to determine weedcompetition on carrot using several kinds of organic fertilizer. Six treatments were used in this research, i.e., greenmanure, combination of green manure and EM, EM alone and control (without manure and EM). The weed wasgrowth together with carrot for 3 months. The parameters are wet weight and dry weight of carrot per meter square.The results show that manuring could increase weed competition which in turn wet weight and dry weight of carrotare decreasing. The highest competition between carrot and weed occurred in the treatment of combination betweenorganic manure which combines with EM. The added EM on organic manure could increase weed competition oncarrot.
