ORGANIC FARMING

ORGANIC FARMING

• Organic farmers do not use the same methods as intensive farmers.
• They try to produce smaller amounts of healthy good quality food.
• Their approach does not make great use of artificial chemicals

ADVANTAGES

• They is no need for artificial chemicals to be used
• There are no chemicals to escape into the environment and damage it
• Chemicals often need to be refused, but biological control doesn't usually repeat

DISADVANTAGES

• The predator may not eat the pest
• The predator may eat other useful species
• The predator may increase the number snd come out of control

DEALING WITH PESTS

• They use a technique called biological control
• They introduce a natural predator for the pest, which will kill the pest
• Organic farmers don't use pesticides like an intensive farmer does
• This is a much better way
