Organic Foods
With the development of agriculture, more environment issues appeared because of using too much chemical pesticides and fertilizers. So people are looking for other new agricultures to instead of the old model such as the organic agriculture or organic food. Natural farming is based on the observation of nature and allowing it to do what it naturally does best. (Fukuoka 284)
What organic food means? According to the Organic.org website, organic produce and other ingredients are grown without the use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, genetically modified organisms, or ionizing radiation. Animals that produce meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products do not take antibiotics or growth hormones (Organic.org). The chemical pesticides are the most of direct elements for which do harm to the environment. So organic food without these negative factors is benefit for environment.
Then what does organic food effect environment?
The first of all is organic food can prevent soil pollution. “Organic farms protect the environment by building soil organic matter and by mimicking natural systems rather than relying on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.” (Organic Food) The development of organic food is originated from the development of organic farming. It applies developed biotechnology to organic farming. Organic food is based on the relationship between land, animals, human, bio system and the healthy agricultural production system. The basis is maintaining good condition of land. It can reflect by these aspects below. 1. Organic food can keep soil fertility. According to E.U. agriculture officials, most organic production results in lower emissions than conventional agriculture because of more restricted use of fertilizers and higher levels of carbon captured in soils growing organic crops.( KANTER )The organic food in Land fertilizer plans must be promise enough amount of organic fertilizers and bioactivity. So scientists encourage to plant leguminous crops for soil fertilizer; they also encourage taking relaxation to recover land fertility; Make sure which matter can be used in the process of land fertilizer; inartificial mineral fertilizers and bio-fertilizer can only use as accessory materials, and must keep its natural. Use chemistry to improve its dissolubility is banned; In the process of producing organic vegetables, must choice the correct organic fertilizers, and apply fertilizer to different vegetables in different kind of fertilizers. 2. Organic food can prevent plastic pollution in soil. The used plastic bags and food packaging as other wastes cause plastic pollution. It not only destroyed the appearance of a city, landscape, but also brings long term environment issues. Develops organic food is ban to use chemicals and also require some other conditions: After using plastic during the process of producing organic food, need clean in time, throw them in the food factory is not allowed; Encourage to use degradable plastics to reduce environment pollution.
The second advantage is that organic food can prevent water pollution prevention. Because of the irrational model of industry construction cannot control sewage disposal properly. Many rivers and lakes are polluted by the waste water. It contains a lot of negative elements which do harm to human health and destroyed the balance in the ocean. Non-organic farming use a lot of chemicals and fertilizers, and most of them are discharge along with the waste water to ocean. In order to reduce the risk of chemicals pollution, choice organic farming is a wise behavior because of these reasons below. 1. Build isolation belt. Organic farming’s isolation belt usually made of arbor, shrub or drive bug plants. It plays an important in quarantining with normal farming, prevents the chemicals and fertilizers where used in non-organic farming permeating into organic field. 2. Build windbreaks. Organic farming’s windbreaks contain more effective impact except that weak wind power, reduce wind speed like normal windbreaks does. For example, store headwaters and save soil moisture; adjust temperature; prevent crops from damaging by cold snap and aridity.
The third advantage is that organic farming can promote development of Biological pesticide. 1. The development of organic farming promotes the development of farming production technology, especially in the field of plants protection. . 2. Biological pesticide has many advantages such as full of row materials, renewable, convenient, low pay, and no pollution to environment.
Organic farming faces challenges such as higher management costs; the risks of learning new farming methods, a fragmented industry that is still young; the high cost of marketing the value of organic foods and farming; and the high cost of consumer engagement. However, those organic farmers who commit to this agricultural segment find that the pay-offs in higher value added markets and in the conservation of non-renewable resources, along with lower input costs of using natural production systems, are worth it.(Organic food for everyone)
In recent years, organic farming has made dramatic gains, moving from the long-haired, back-to-nature folks of the 1960's into the mainstream of American farming and agricultural research (BRODY). Now more and more people realize that organic food is a new gift of choice. It is not only the benefit to our health, but also the helpful to the environment.
