Introduction :
Sudan is considered to be the future food reservoir and the source of food security not only for Arab countries, but also for the whole world. This fact is emphasized by the enormous natural resources the country has.
It is estimated that the suitable area for crop production is about 200 million feddans (85 million hectares) of which only 20% is now utilized. The estimated area of natural pastures and forests is about 117.2 and 64.5 million hectares, respectively. The water resources from the Nile and its tributaries provide about 64.2 billion m3 of which only 16.4 billion cubic meters is utilized. Annual rains provide about 1094.3 billion cubic meters distributed throughout the country at a rate of 0-200 ml in the Northern Region, 200-600 ml in the Middle Region and 600-1200 ml in the Southern Region .The underground water reservoir which includes many aquifers is estimated to provide 39.6 billion cubic meters and covers a total of about 75% of the whole country area, only 2.27% of this amount is now utilized.
The animal wealth of Sudan is estimated to be about 128.5 millions heads of cattle, sheep, goats and camels all of which are raised under natural grazing system, in addition to 60000 tons of fresh fish annually produced.
The many different climatic conditions prevailing in the country provide a wide range of biodiversity suitable for different practices of crop production thus, many crop groups and varieties of crops are cultivated (Appendix 1). The total area grown in these crops is estimated to about 16.8 million hectares. These crops are cultivated under three main cultural practices:
1- Traditional rain-fed practice.
2- Mechanized rain-fed practice.
3- Irrigated cultural practice.
Most of these crops are grown under the first and second field practices, which cover about 82% of total area cultivated in the country. In these, two cultural practices neither chemical pesticides, inorganic fertilizers nor genetic modifications are encountered.
Therefore, it may actually be said that all crops grown under such practices are originally (Organic).
The livestock may also be considered organic as all of it is raised under the vast natural grazing areas and naturally growing forests.
