Organic farming and environment
Are the organic farmers the only one to care about environment?
Or have we reached a state of identical worries for every farmer in the world,
whether they are organic or not.
In this article, the journalist explains that now that
the awareness of the importance of preserving the soils has been raised all around
the world, every farmer is concerned about having a reasonable sustainable
farming system. A result of this is the new trend called low-till. Low –till
agriculture means the least possible ploughing and has already resulted in less
pesticides, less fertilizers, less fuel use and less soil desertification for
the same yield. But low-till farmers are not doing organic as they continue
using herbicides such as round-up for example. Nevertheless is the system a
great improvement and has the great advantage to be easy to set up.
Have we showed that it is possible to save the planet
without doing organic? Can we save the earth and still use Monsanto round up?
Or is it just the first step in a far longer path of improvement to reach a
world of perfectly sustainable farming?
