How long can an organic farm really stay organic with the owners have zero control over?

Organic Farming
Goldar asked:


- the surrounding land
- the atmosphere
- external waterways that affect the organic farm

With things like GM crops already in the wild and widespread monoculture, how does a small farm fight this off?

By the way, I’m asking for actual farming techniques, not legislative wishes. Hoping for legislation is a bit too pie-in-the-sky and doesn’t help me today.

Do you know of any good research papers on Organic Farming?

Organic Farming
Jose S asked:


I am in a class for Environmental Economics and I have to write a term paper on Organic Farming. I would like to do a benefit-cost analysis between conventional farming and organic farming. And would like to answer the following question: Is organic farming better? I know that organic farming produces less so I’m not completely sure if it is better for the environment. I am looking for facts on the costs of the two different farming methods, etc..Please only serious answers.

Organic farming on college campus to cut costs?

Organic Farming
redsparrow226 asked:


So, I’m writing a research proposal for English.

We’re supposed to go along the lines of finding ways to promote environmentally friendly living our college campus.

My idea is that our college should devote some of the land (where they’re bulldozing eight dorms) to grow houses and farm land. Organic farming could help promote healthier living, If they develop a class to teach the students about hands-on organic farming, then the university could utilize what is grown for their own use. Not only would students be educated about organic foods and farming, but the university could use these foods and hopefully promote the local economy by buying from our area.

Does this sound decent? Any tips? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
