If my experience last month in Turkey is any indication, the notion that GMOs are the only way to feed a growing population is way out of step with both the leading thinkers on food and farming and the world’s smallholder farmers—who produce much of what the planet eats and 80 percent of the food in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. These farmers may not have money on their side, but I saw the power of strength in numbers at the Organic World Congress. green living organic farming

Even though organic farming has been around since the Neolithic period, when our ancestors turned from hunters and gatherers to farmers, there is no doubt that it is experiencing a bit of a comeback in recent years. With ever-increasing awareness about toxic chemicals used extensively in modern agriculture, more people are willing to pay higher prices for organically produced food. But just like any other way of farming, organic agriculture also has its downsides.

At first there were three religious groups on the Villa Maria Organic Farm , but they left and the property was given to the Bishop of Cleveland, Ohio. This Bishop then gave the farm to three sisters who moved to the area from France in 1864. The farm has never been shut down; however, it is no longer incorporated. In 1955, the farm yielded produce, fruit, meat and eggs. The manure that is composted is used in the gardens since the gardens are strictly organic.

It is the combination of best farming methods used in past and modern scientific knowledge. It acts in accordance with nature instead of opposing it, as seen in conventional farming.

There has been a fairly steady stream of debate about organic products (especially food), and whether they actually meet their marketed health and environmental claims. Dig deeper into the scientific research about organic foods and you’ll find the jury is still out; in other words, it’s not time to give up on organics yet.
