OrganicfarmingwasamongthefastestgrowingsegmentsofU.S.agricultureduringthe1990s.Thevalueofretail.salesoforganicfoodwasestimatedtobe$16billionin2004.AccordingtotheFoodMarketingInstitute,morethanhalfofAmericansnowbuyorganicfoodatleastonceamonth.Whyisorganicfoodbecomingsopopular?

WhatisOrganicFood?

InDecember2000,theNationalOrganicStandardsBoardoftheU.S.DepartmentofAgriculture(USDA)establishedanationalstandardfortheterm"organic".Organicfood,definedbyhowitcannotbemaderatherthanhowitcanbemade,mustbeproducedwithouttheuseofsewer-sludgefertilizers,mostsyntheticfertilizersandpesticides,geneticengineering(biotechnology),growthhormones,irradiationandantibiotics.Avarietyofagriculturalproductscanbeproducedorganically,includingproduce,grains,meat,dairy,eggs,andprocessedfoodproducts.

"Organic"doesnotmean"natural".Thereisnolegaldefinitionastowhatconstitutesa"natural"food.However,thefoodindustryusestheterm"natural"toindicatethatafoodhasbeenminimallyprocessedandispreservative-free.Naturalfoodscanincludeorganicfoods,butnotallnaturalfoodsareorganic.Onlyfoodslabeled"organic"havebeencertifiedasmeetingUSDAorganicstandards.

OrganicFarming

Thephrase'organicfarming'—firstappearedinLordNorthbourne'sbookLooktotheLand,publishedin1940.Butthetruthis,organicfarmingistheoldestform.ofagriculture.BeforetheendofWorldWarⅡ,farmingwithouttheuseofpetroleum-basedchemicals(syntheticfertilizersandpesticides)wastheonlyoptionforfarmers.Technologiesdevelopedduringthewarwerefoundtobeusefulforagriculturalproduction.Forexample,thechemicalammoniumnitrate(硝酸铵),whichwasusedasmunitions(军需品),becameusefulasfertilizer,andorganophosphates(有机磷酸盐)usedfornervegaswerelaterusedasinsecticide.
