ORGANIC FARMING

                         Organic Farming

This our third topic discussed:organic farming.  As more and more people concentrate on protect environment,the organic farming becomes more and more popular cause the core of organic farming is no pesticides,no herbicides,no chemicals.

rganic farming refers to growing without the use of any chemicals (hence sometimes referred to as primitive farming)
Organic farming is popular in the general market and people think organic food is healthier, but there's a lot of debate in academia.
I will discuss several aspects in detail below.
1. Organic agriculture and environmental protection
The relationship between organic agriculture and environmental protection is complicated.
First, some argue that chemical-free farming preserves the ecology and soil and is a sustainable production cycle.

Others argue that unit production of organic food is much lower than intensive production, resulting in larger areas of land needed to produce the same amount of produce. This is undoubtedly damaging to the environment, making management and transportation more difficult and increasing carbon emissions.
2. Organic farming and health
Organic agricultural products are unquestionably healthier for people than conventional agricultural products, greatly reducing the potential harm of chemicals to humans.
But on the other hand, organic products are more than eight times more expensive than regular products, which some people think is a waste of production resources and, in safe doses of chemical, basically harmless to humans.
3.Organic agriculture and agricultural technology
On the one hand, the promotion of organic farming has led to a greater emphasis on health and environmental protection in new agricultural technologies, but on the other hand, it has limited the growth of yields and the development of new technologies.(e.g. transgenic technology, chemical technology)
