Some of us who purchase organic foods don't care about the impact on the food, but rather on the farm ecosystem. Pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers impact insect popuations, wash into rivers, and so on. It's nice to have an option to vote with our dollars in favour of more sustainable practices, even if the food isn't any healthier or tastier to eat.
- dx87 7y agoOrganic foods are normally grown with organic pesticides that still harm the environment, but since the pesticides aren't synthetic, the food still keeps the organic label.
- Nicksil 7y agoOrganic herbicides and pesticides tend to be less effective, as well, thus requiring more frequent application using large farm equipment, belching exhaust and compacting the soil.
