23) What are the benefits of organic farming? |

Answer» Answer: Here are five possible benefits we might SEE : ☄️Promotion of Biodiversity Crop rotation to build soil fertility and raising animals naturally helps promote biodiversity, which promotes greater health across all living species. As organic farms provide safe havens to wildlife, local ecosystems also improve. ☄️Reduction of Farm Pollution While “farm smog” is not real, traditional farming does create its own forms of pollution with respect to runoff from synthetic fertilizer and chemical pesticides, which harm the surrounding areas. That runoff seeps into the local groundwater supply. As harmful chemicals are eliminated from use through organic farming, the environment benefits. Organic farming improves the soil, removes the risk of groundwater pollution and rehabilitates soil in areas where damage to water supplies has already occurred. ☄️Better-tasting Food It’s not your imagination: organic food TRULY tastes better than products that come from conventional farms and methods. Organic produce tends to have lower nitrate content than non-organic varieties, leading to fruits that not only taste sweeter but also have higher antioxidant levels. Science shows that organic farming isn’t just tastier but better for you, too! ☄️Fewer Environmental Toxins At present, less than one half of one percent of farm acreage in the United States is devoted to organic farming methods. This means that there are over 900 million acres of farmland being treated with chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and other toxic substances required by livestock farming. As the percentage of organic farms increases, the environment also benefits. ☄️Job Creation Studies compiled by the Organic Farming Research Foundation have shown that there are more than 10,000 certified organic producers in America, in comparison with almost TWO million traditional farms. However, organic farms tend to bring in more profits, despite requiring more employees. It is easy to see the economic benefits derived from job creation that WOULD come from an increase in organic farming. hope this much helps UH ❣️ |
