Europe is now
the biggest market for organic food in the world,
having grown by 25
percent a year over the
past 10 years. Denmark's agriculture minister is
herself an organic farmer.
The UK market for organic
food grew by 55 percent in 2000, while the food
market as a whole
grew by
only one percent. Yet only seven percent of
British shoppers account for nearly 60
percent of organic sales. However
popular the idea of organic farming may be, it is
still an interest
for only
a few people.
So what makes
the idea of organic farming popular? Organic
farming means farming with
natural materials, rather than with
man
-
made fertilizers or
pesticides. Organic farmers rely on
many
methods
—
such as crop
rotation (
农作物的轮作
) and the
use of resistant
（有抵抗力的）
varieties, because they are
necessary for organic farmers to compensate for
the shortage of
man
-
made
chemicals.
Organic farming
is often supposed to be safer than traditional
farming for the environment.
Yet after a long research on organic
farming worldwide for a number of years, science
continues
to be against
this opinion. The House of Commons committee on
agriculture publicized that, even
with complete research work, it would
fail to find any scientific evidence to prove
“
that any of
claims
（宣称）
made for organic farming is always
true
”
.
However, the talk about the benefits of
organic farming is going on. This is partly
because
many people depend
on their individual farm, the soil, the weather,
and so on.
