Know the projects and programs to protect this institution, I would suggest the possibility of an interest in this entity, in future negotiations, the purchase of two (2) a large part of the Environmental Protection Act (PASA), located in Mogi das Cruzes, São Paulo .

These areas are the heirs, and now has appointed a lawyer, and it came to me asking for support for our organization as an intermediary in the negotiations may be in this institution.

The problem with the term “organic” is that has mixed together several concepts.

Yes, we should use less pesticides. Integrated Pest Management is probably best. We should not be fooled by the notion that natural toxic chemicals are somehow better than synthetic ones.

The best idea of organic farming is the improvement of the soil. But, no till is a valid idea too.

The greatest fallacy of organic farming is the myth of synthetic fertilizers. So-called “chemical” fertilizers contain the same chemical elements and compounds as so-called natural fertilizers.

The simple fact is that because organic farming does not use artificially fixed Nitrogen, it is not really sustainable.

Also, we can not continue throw away the Phosphate used go grow our foods. There is only so much available to mine and we will run out. We must start to refine Phosphate from sewage and agricultural waste.

I made the same decision about not purchasing conventionally-grown bananas after spending time in Costa Rica and working with endangered leatherback sea turtles. I also think that data will continue to support the higher levels of antioxidants and other healthy secondary compounds in organic produce. The plants have to work harder at anti-herbivory defense mechanisms when not doused with pesticides.

My biggest concern in this debate is caused by the absence of any mention of GMO foods vs. organics. It is known that big producers of fertilizers, pesticides and genetically modified seeds are bullying farmers to use their seeds, the AAEM’s warning of dangers to our own health notwithstanding (see American Academy of Environmental Medicine, May 19, 2009, http://www.aaemonline.org/gmopost.html) . There is a host of other publications and public warnings against GMO foods so my prime reason for choosing organic foods is based on my desire to protect my family from GMO’s and to strengthen organic farmers, not to mention the protection of our natural resources, etc.

[...] Margaret Southern makes a good point when she asks: “Isn’t it more about what’s not in the food than what is?” Not only that but how does the farming technique impact the land, water and communities near it? We don’t live in the time of family farming anymore, where individual farmers and their families cared about the land and the food they grew. [...]
