Question

What are the advantages of organic farming with out using pesticides and not harming the atmosphere

Answer 1

Organic farming can be profitable, and organic food appeals to consumers as both a healthy and ethical choice. Beyond money and ethics, though, organic farming practices result in numerous environmental benefits.

01

 Reduced Exposure to Pesticides and Chemicals

The Organic Trade Association notes that if every farmer in the U.S. converted to organic production, we could eliminate 500 million pounds of persistent and harmful pesticides from entering the environment annually. Pesticide and chemical use results in many negative environmental issues:

Pesticides allow disease resistance to build up in plants, weeds, plant-eating-insects, fungi, and bacteria.Pesticides and chemicals sprayed on plants contaminate the soil, water supply, and air. Sometimes these harmful pesticides stick around for decades (maybe longer).Synthetic chemicals also discourage smart farming practices such as cover crops and crop rotation, which in turn, may cause other harmful environmental problems like erosion.

 Organic Farming Builds Healthy Soil



Ezra Bailey

To grow healthy food, you must start with healthy soil. If you treat the soil with harmful pesticides and chemicals, you may end up with soil that cannot thrive on its own. Natural cultivation practices are far better than chemical soil management.

A large nine-year study by USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS), shows that organic farming builds up organic soil matter better than conventional no-till farming.

According to Dr. Elaine Ingham, just one teaspoon of compost-rich organic soil may host as many as 600 million to 1 billion helpful bacteria from 15,000 species. Ingham notes that on the flip side, one teaspoon of soil treated with chemicals may carry as few as 100 helpful bacteria.

0rganic Farming➫ A method that involves growing & nurturing crops without the use of synthetic based fertilizers and pesticides.

Ex:- Crop Rotation

♦ It is a production system that sustains the health of soils, ecosystems & people.

♦ Biological research into soil & soil organisms has proven beneficial to organic farming.
