Acuma, vorbind de chestii organice, astea par mai mult un moft decat altceva.
“Borlaug promoted inorganic fertilizers to create higher yields crops — and for his efforts at curbing world hunger, he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970. But today, many environmentalists are challenging the “Green Revolution” and urge a shift back to organic fertilizers. Borlaug says the theories of who he calls “extreme greenies” would be inadequate to feed the world.”
The problem here is that higher prices for organic foods cause people to consume less of the healthful produce. Pollan and his acolytes claim the higher price is worth it because organic produce, without pesticides and chemical fertilizers, is “safer.” What a load of manure.
