Organic Farming

Over the last decade, the effect of agrochemicals on the environment and human health has diverted consumer food demands to organically produced products. As a result, the industry is fast growing and is estimated to surpass $600 billion in the next four years. One major advantage of organic farming is that it contributes less to greenhouse gas emission. It is also cheaper (this is often debated) and involves efficient utilization of farm resources through recycling. Organic farming also prevents the accumulation of chemicals and toxins that may cause cancer. Nonetheless, the organic farming industry is argued as insufficient to feed the world’s growing population. It is described as slow, attractive to pests and more difficult to market. Some experts argue that organic food products are more expensive due to higher production costs. Organic products are also scarce and sometimes not true to their labelling as some manufacturers do not engage a completely organic process of food production.
