 | | What the Deal with Organic Foods? 14:32Nutrition by Natalie What is the difference between organic food and conventional food? Is organic really more healthy for you? The USDA lays out certain guidelines that farms have to follow in order more...to be able to claim the food is organic. In this video Natalie discusses what each of those guidelines are.
What is surprising to learn is some of the growing practices of conventional farming and food processing. As an example, chemical plants and waste water treatment facilities will actually sell their toxic waist to conventional farms to use for fertilizer.
What you eat is an important part of health and nutrition.

Two more... key issues are biophysical (the long-term effects more...of various practices on soil properties and processes essential for crop productivity) and socio-economic (the long-term ability of farmers to obtain inputs and manage resources such as labor).
The physical aspects of sustainability are partly understood (Altieri 1995). Practices that can cause long-term damage to soil include excessive tillage (leading to erosion) and irrigation without adequate drainage (leading to accumulation of salt in the soil). Long-term experiments provide some of the best data on how various practices affect soil properties essential to sustainability.
While air and sunlight are generally available in most geographic locations, crops also depend on soil nutrients and the availability of water. When farmers grow and harvest crops, they remove some of these nutrients from the soil. Without replenishment, the land would suffer from nutrient depletion and be unusable for further farming. Sustainable agriculture depends on replenishing the soil while minimizing the use of non-renewable resources, such as natural gas (used in converting atmospheric nitrogen into synthetic fertilizer), or mineral ores (e.g., phosphate). Possible sources of nitrogen that would, in principle, be available indefinitely, include:
1. recycling crop waste and livestock or human manure 2. growing legume crops and forages such as, peanuts, or alfalfa that form symbioses with nitrogen-fixing bacteria called rhizobia 3. industrial production of nitrogen by the Haber Process uses hydrogen, which is currently derived from natural gas, but could instead be made by electrolysis of water using electricity (perhaps from solar cells or windmills) or 4. genetically engineering (non-legume) crops to form nitrogen-fixing symbioses or fix nitrogen without microbial symbionts.
The last option was proposed in the 1970s, but would be well beyond the capability of current (2007) technology, even if various concerns about biotechnology were addressed. Sustainable options for replacing other nutrient inputs (phosphorus, potassium, etc.) are more limited.
In some areas, sufficient rainfall is available for crop growth, but many other areas require irrigation. For irrigation systems to be sustainable they must be managed properly (to avoid salt accumulation) and not use more water from their source than is naturally replenished, otherwise the water source becomes, in effect, a non-renewable resource. Improvements in water well drilling technology and the development of submersible pumps have made it possible for large crops to be regularly grown where reliance on rainfall alone previously made this level of success unpredictable. However, this progress has come at a price, in that in many areas where this has occurred, such as the Ogallala Aquifer, the water is being used at a greater rate than its rate of recharge.
Socioeconomic aspects of sustainability are also partly understood. Regarding nonindustrialized farming, the best known analysis is Netting's (1993) study on smallholder systems through history. less Tags: sustainable agriculture organic food agriculture meat food production zegee nutrition crop gmo ecosystem soil livestock recycling crop waste Category: Science & Technology Views: 128 Comments: 1 Added: Jan 18, 08 By: zegee | |  |  | | HoM 18 Alien Races designed the Human Race as Organic ROBOTS 07:14For further Information, Perspectives and Questions visit the Desteni-Website or Desteni-Forum at http://www.desteni.co.za and http://www.desteni.co.za/forum Tags: history man alien races human created creator origin existence cern robots ievolution evo ascension Category: Extreme Views: 74 Comments: 0 Added: May 22, 09 By: DesteniVideos | |  |  | | Neighborhood Website Project Organic Veges 03:16Neighborhood Website Project, Organic Veges Tags: worldwithoutoil world without oil oil crisis get local Category: Video Blogs Views: 206 Comments: 1 Added: May 12, 07 By: jootbooner  | |  |  | | Can web bots predict the future 03:50Can web bots predict the future?

Organic produce and foods contain: No Pesticides No Artificial Fertilizers No Sewage Sludge No Radiation Not GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms) No more...food additives
A study published by the National Research Council in 1993 determined that for infants and children, the major source of exposure to pesticides is through diet. Most conventionally grown foods contain pesticides, herbicide residues, and waxes., which have been proven to be related to numerous common health problems. Also, the majority of packaged, processed foods available in grocery stores contain artificial ingredients and may be genetically modified.
