minus-squareHackerman_uwu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up58·3 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-up13·3 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-up10·3 年前In the US, it means they use different pesticides.
minus-squareHackerman_uwu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 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-up3·3 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-up11·3 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.
