Organic Farming a Solution for Harmless Food
Organic farming is a form of agriculture which excludes the use of synthetic
fertilizers and pesticides, plant growth regulators, live-stock feed additives, and
genetically modified organisms. It is believed that organic farming should replace
conventional one for some reasons.
Firstly, as far as possible, organic farmers rely on crop rotation, integrated pest
management, crop residue, compost and mechanical cultivation to maintain soil
productivity and control pests.
Secondly, studies have shown that people who work with pesticides have an
increased risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. The pesticides examined in these two
long-term studies, paraquat and dieldrin, are not allowed on organic farms. The
herbicide paraquat and fungicide maneb together, but not alone, have been shown to
cause brain damage in mice. Some organic farming standards do allow the use of
natural methods of protection from pests such as those derived from plants. Organic
activists state that natural pesticides are a last alternative, while growing healthier,
disease-resistant plants, using cover crops and crop rotation, and encouraging
beneficial insects and birds are the primary methods of pest control.
Finally, a 2001 study demonstrated that children who are fed organic diets
experienced significantly lower organophosphorus pesticide exposure than children
fed conventional diets. A similar study in 2006 measured the levels of
organophosphorus pesticide exposure in 23 pre-school children before and after
replacing their diet with organic food: levels of organophosphorus pesticide exposure
dropped dramatically and immediately when the children switched to an organic diet.
Although the researchers did not collect health outcome data in this study, they
concluded “it assumes that children whose diets consist of organic food items would
have a lower probability of neurologic health risks.”
Therefore, organic farming should replace conventional one to reduce the
using of pesticides which usually remain in farm production such as fruits and
vegetables since there are a lot of research which prove that pesticides may be harmful
for the consumers if people use pesticides improperly

media anytime and anywhere. Usually, they do not control how much time they spend
on social media. Unexpectedly, it cuts their precious time. Leisure time which normally

make someone closer become far. They prefer to interact with someone far through
social media rather than friends who are stand next to them. We often see, when those

Third, crime can be started from social media. When you check-in Path, you
indirectly provided guidance to anyone who wants to kidnap you. When mothers

intention. Also, do not use social media to do bad act. You might get trouble as a
consequence. Then, limit the time for using social media. Do not let social media
