minus-square@Hackerman_uwu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink56•8 months agoCommon misconception promoted by wellness ghouls. Organic farming means that fertilisers are made from natural sources not chemical fertilisers. Pesticides have exactly zero to do with organic vs conventional farming.
minus-square@Bumblefumble@lemm.eelinkfedilink12•8 months agoMaybe it’s different in the US, but in Denmark, organic means no artificial fertilizers as well as no pesticides.
minus-square@SpaceNoodle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink9•8 months agoIn the US, it means they use different pesticides.
minus-square@Hackerman_uwu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•8 months agoFarming without pesticides would be an excercise in absurdity. There are natural options but “no pesticides” isn’t a thing.
minus-square@Bumblefumble@lemm.eelinkfedilink3•8 months agoIt’s possible, I’m not sure, but there are definitely heavy restrictions on the pesticides you can use to call your product organic.
minus-square@Fermion@feddit.nllinkfedilink11•8 months agoUSDA organic absolutely prohibits the majority of pesticides. That’s where the standard is most restrictive as there are very few organic pesticides.
minus-square@Hackerman_uwu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•8 months agoInteresting. Thanks for clearing that up, I was not aware.
