ORGANIC AGRICULTURE TODAY
The production and use of organic food products has taken firm root today as a serious alternative for con-
sumers and farmers. Particularly since the early 1990s, a growing number of North American farmers have
taken steps to minimize the use of and consumers’ exposure to, toxic and persistent pesticides by establishing
organic agricultural practices.
Organic farming is about building a sustainable, healthy and productive future for every aspect of our
planet: the soil, water supply, animals and humans. Consumers who want to minimize their – and the environ-
ment’s – exposure to toxic and persistent chemicals can do so by buying organic foods and organic fiber prod-
ucts, and by choosing organic agricultural methods for home pest control and lawn care. It is simply putting na-
ture to work while removing many potential health risks that exist from certain food production today, mainly
the use of pesticides.
In March 2001, the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released findings showing measur-
able amounts of residual organophosphate pesticides in a group of people who were studied. The National
Academies of Sciences has indicated that one out of four developmental and behavioral problems in children
may be linked to genetic and environmental factors, including exposure to lead, mercury and organophosphate
pesticides. When you put these two studies together, the conclusions could be cause for concern. Still, it should
be noted that there is still more scientists and doctors need to learn about the long-term health effects of the
low-level presence of organophosphates in humans.
Interestingly, a separate study to assess preschool children’s organophosphate exposure in the Seattle Met-
ropolitan area showed that one child who showed no measurable pesticide residue lived in a family that buys
exclusively organic products and does not use any pesticides at home. While this does not conclude that there
