Organic Food Production

I think that organic farming is a great idea. I t gives people another choice of what to put into their bodies. If farmers go through the trouble to meet standards their differences should be shown. It was necessary to define the legal term of organic products. Then there is no gray area of what can and can't be used. Farmers have to meet the standards that maintain and enhance a natural harmony. I believe that organic food production is beneficial to the environment. I think as a side note the United States is filled with "good doers" and supporting a cause that is more environmentally friendly helps people's egos. I like to support local farmers and will buy fresh organic fruit year round. I don't believe it is going to feed the world's growing population. It doesn't seem cost and time effective. You end up with a more balanced crop but it can't be mass produced. As part of the food industry, organic products are the only rapidly growing agriculture approach towards a low impact on the enviroment. Traditional methods of food production are more beneficial to our societies growth. The mass production with the aid chemicals is what hurts our environment. If companies can corner the market of selling organic foods I think that is great. As long as the farmer are benefiting from their growing market. I was kinda stunned when I realized there is a grocery store "Whole Foods Market" who only sells organic products while I was visiting Santa Rosa. I am so use to going the farmers market or going to the Blue Goose in Loomis.
