Raninja asked: I watched a special on kvie about where our food comes from and it was very disturbing. I already knew it was bad,but to see what they’ve done to the american farmer, patenting seeds?! Back to the question, there are a lot of things that claim they are ‘organic’ yet they are still affiliated with monsanto or those like them. Even Tom’s Organic Toothpaste is owned by Colgate! Tell me what organic companies you love and why. Are any of these places still mom and pop?

I live in Maryland and am longing to get all the organic cherimoyas, sapotes, jackfruit, and more from the awesome farms in Hawaii and California, but they don’t ship! Does anyone know how to buy organic tropical fruit like the ones listed above?

SHIIIZNIIIZ asked: what are the chemicals and other substances involved in Organic Pesticide? (i heard you need up to use much more of it since its inefficient, so its worse sort of.)
What are the effects of Organic Farming on the environment? (i heard it takes up more land, so more destruction of forests is required)
Is organic food healthier? (i heard its genetically the same as other foods, and some say it has more nutrition while other studies say it doesnt)
(would be nice if you could source it)
Thanks for your help!

E asked:
For example, if I had about 3 acres of land on which to farm, how much organic produce would I be able to grow? A link would be helpful if you have one. My internet searches were unsuccessful.

sailor2001nz asked:
How important are pesticides & fertilizers to maximise our yields? Is ‘organic’ only ever going to be a luxury for the wealthy?
