Standards vary worldwide, but organic farming in general features practices that strive to cycle resources, promote ecological balance, and conserve biodiversity – without use of conventional pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge; bioengineering; or ionizing radiation What pesticides do to us – - lower immune system - make us tired/fatigued - can increase risk of disease/cancer - cause metabolism problems Not “healthier” necessarily In 2017 reported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) revealed its failure to make sure that imported organic foods actually meet USDA organic standards. Part of this was a failure to check documents and do audits, but perhaps most horrifyingly, even when imported crops do actually meet organic standards, there’s a decent chance they’ll end up being fumigated upon arrival with pesticides not allowed under USDA organic regulations. In order for milk and meat to be sold as organic, the animals can eat only organic feed, and most feed corn and soy grown in the U.S. is genetically modified, which doesn’t qualify as organic. How to prevent non-organic – clean 15/dirty dozen, shop stores that don’t sell produce that’s been sprayed with pesticides, find a local farmer ____________________________ In her constant, undying pursuit of all things garden-related, Tovah gets her hands dirty both outside and indoors.
