One method to make organic farming more prevalent is to have the large chemicals and fertilizer companies include organic products in their product portfolio. But this is easier said than done, given the mindset of these companies. How can these large and influential companies be made to go green?
Organic Farming Challenges
|
Achieving Economies of Scale in the Production of Organic Fertilizers and Organic Pesticides
As organic fertilizers and pesticides are made from naturally occurring products, their scalability is not as high as the scalability of their synthetic counterparts. How can this weakness be overcome?
Making Governments Provide Suitable incentives for Organic Farming
Organic farming currently costs more than farming using synthetic materials. One way to decrease the cost of organic farming is by encouraging a much larger section of the farming community adopt organic farming practices, thereby resulting in lower costs owing to economies of scale. In order for a large section of the farming community to adopt organic farming, government incentives need to be provided. What types of incentives and policies will spur the adoption of organic farming worldwide?
Making Organic Pesticides Effective against a Much Larger Variety of Pests
While organic pesticides are clean and sustainable, they might not offer protection against as large a variety of pests as synthetic pesticides. How can this weakness be overcome?
Making Organic Fertilizers Offer Significantly Higher Short Term Benefits
Organic fertilizers are a sustainable option for farmers, but benefits of organic fertilizers are more long term in nature. Synthetic fertilizers provide much better short term gains though in the long term they are harmful. But many farmers worldwide require short term benefits along with long term ones. How can organic fertilizers be produced such that these can also provide short term gains?
