The price, the government, and the consumers’ attitude also influence whether consumers want to buy organic food. These reasons and influences why consumers buy organic food are important for producers to
recent years, the phenomenon of using Organic Food and GM Food has aroused public concern. To understand the point of the issue, it is essential to analyze Organic food and GM food from different aspect. In this article, I am going to identify the major argument of two perspectives, also the intellectual differences of and inter-connectedness of the two disciplinary perspectives. It is necessary to analyze what are Organic Food and GM Food first. Organic foods are those produced in rich, fertile soils
Choosing organic food is easy and organic food helps to avoid numbers of potentially harmful chemicals. Organic food consumption is rapidly increasing in many countries. Growing concern about health has changed customers’ taste and preferences. A growing number of consumers are purchasing organic food more than conventional food to protect their health from chemicals, which are used to produce conventional food. Moreover, there will be significant growth of the organic market (16%) by 2020 with increasing
kinds of foods called genetically modified organisms, also known as GMOs, has been creating concerns in the American market for the past several years. Scientists today are able to produce new foods by transferring genes from one organism to another. This technique has been developed to improve the shelf life, nutritional content, flavor, color, and texture of foods. While true, people argue that Organic foods are healthier and more beneficial to the human body and the planet than GMOs. Organic foods
fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein. But as you wander the aisles of the grocery store, you realize there's another choice to make: Should you buy organic? What does organic even mean? Simply stated, organic farms cannot use pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge (yes, human sewage is used on conventional food), genetically modified organisms (GMOs), or ionizing radiation, and must help maintain or improve soil quality. Animals that produce meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy

better, organic food or genetically modified organisms (hereafter referred to as GMO’s)? Despite the popularity, GMO’s have been picking up pace because of their versatile properties, the disadvantages supersede the advantages and even though organic food production/cultivating isn't without its downsides, it is proven to be less detrimental to human health and the environment in the long term. In this paper, I will compare and contrast the drawbacks and benefits of using both purely organic and genetically
targeting the people who hope to enjoys the organic foods by breeding themselves but gives up because of not enough place or time to do it. So, aquaponics system is created to solving the lack of place or time problem while combining the aquaculture and hydroponic into a product. It is a product with automation system that can automatically watering the plant and recycle back the extra water into the fish tank and resend the
PHOTOSYNTHESIS, FOOD WEBS AND FOOD CHAINS PHOTOSYNTHESIS PHOTOSYNTHESIS is a process in which plants convert light energy directly into chemical energy in presence of sunlight.This chemical energy produced is stored in plants in the form of sugars and is used whenever required. The name photosynthesis is derived from the Greek φῶς, phōs, "light", and σύνθεσις, synthesis, "putting together”. In most cases, oxygen is also released as a waste product. Most plants, most algae, and cyanobacteria perform
is a combination of practices used in order to protect or reduced the degradation of soils. In order for conservation to happen, the soils must be treated as a living ecosystem by which the process of returning the organic matter to the soil on a continual basis is conducted. Organic matter provides good soil structure and water holding capacity, promotes water infiltration and protects the soil from erosion and compaction. Types of conservation being practised in Asia • Conservation tillage and
