minus-squarecomrade19@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up21·2 年前I thought it was so you know what youre buying was made with less damage to the environment from pesticides.
minus-squareHackerman_uwu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up57·2 年前Common 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-squareBumblefumble@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up13·2 年前Maybe it’s different in the US, but in Denmark, organic means no artificial fertilizers as well as no pesticides.
minus-squareSpaceNoodle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·2 年前In the US, it means they use different pesticides.
minus-squareHackerman_uwu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 年前Farming without pesticides would be an excercise in absurdity. There are natural options but “no pesticides” isn’t a thing.
minus-squareBumblefumble@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 年前It’s possible, I’m not sure, but there are definitely heavy restrictions on the pesticides you can use to call your product organic.
minus-squareFermion@feddit.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up11·2 年前USDA organic absolutely prohibits the majority of pesticides. That’s where the standard is most restrictive as there are very few organic pesticides.
minus-squareHackerman_uwu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 年前Interesting. Thanks for clearing that up, I was not aware.

minus-squareMaeve@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 年前Are they still watered with used fracking fluid?
minus-squareMaeve@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 年前Yes, but I don’t want to ingest it any more than Roundup!

Isn’t petrol organic?
