If you're asking about how organic gardening benefits you, first and foremost is that you are doing a mental and physical exercise at the very start of your activity. It will cost you less overhead expense. It's also entertaining and rewarding. Healthy and worry free for personal consumption. And if you are planning to market it, it will be more attractive to the consumer/buyer because it's a chemical-free produce. These are the only few answers to your question. I suggest you do some research on it.
 
There are several benefits to using compost in your organic garden.

For one thing, the decomposing vegetable matter provides plant nutrients -- the very sorts of nutrients that become depleted in the soil when you harvest your crops!

Another benefit is mulching -- adding compost on the surface of the ground around the base of your garden plants. That helps shade the ground so the moisture doesn't evaporate so quickly, and also reduces the likelihood of erosion.

In addition, incorporating the humus of compost into your soil helps it hold water more effectively, helps keep the soil friable, and aids both drainage and aeration. It encourages the activity of earthworms, too, which provide natural fertilizer in the form of their "castings."
