Organic Farming

Introduction Genetic farming dominates the food market over organic farming by easily more than 90%, but genetic farming has several negative effects.

Genetic farming system cause soil erosion and, therefore, eliminates soil productivity. In scientific journals and publications, pesticides have been linked with cases of: Cancer Birth defects Allergies Disorders of the nervous, neurological, behavioral, hormone, reproductive, endocrine, and immune systems.

Soil Erosion

History of Organic Farming Organic agriculture is the oldest form of agriculture on earth. Farming without the use of petroleum-based chemicals (fertilizers and pesticides) was the sole option for farmers until post-World War II.

Overview Farming Today. Future of farming

Focus Organic farming is vital for the future of our planet, but sadly is not taken with the importance it deserves. The community report will inform about the issues against organic farming caused by genetic farming such as pesticides and factors of production, to name a few. The report will focus on the future challenges for organic farming.

Awareness In order to conserve the environment is vital to leave genetic farming.

Conclusion Genetic farming actually has advantages over organic farming such as factors of production. But genetic farming has negative effects on different areas; economy, environment, and health. Organic farming is critical in order to conserve the environment. Is vital to shift to organic farming, even if it could be expensive in the beginning it is necessary in order to give a sustainable future to the next generations.
