Organic Farming Disadvantages


 FARMER'S PRAY THIS NEVER HAPPENS TO THEIR FARM.


      I just read my first con article about organic food, and you would think it would be hard to find flaws in organic food but, there is a lot. An example would be GM crops (GENETICALLY ENGINEERED), people believed once they are released that it is impossible to un release them making it a disadvantage for organic farmers. Another disadvantage is time, Organic food takes up so much time to cultivate and or prepare animals, mainly because they let the food and animals grow as the should. They believed that this is the way all farming should be but, because it is so time consuming some farmers cant afford it. One disadvantage that i found extremely interesting this the required skill surrounding organic farming. instead of just getting a plant or cow and letting them just grow farmers have to create a strategy. They need to figure out how they are going to grow and when their gonna grow, because if one little tiny thing goes wrong it could ruin a farmers whole season. Organic farming is almost like gambling, its the right thing to do but can you do it. These cons are very eye opening and not something you wuld expect from a presigous way of farming.
