(2) Is organic food completely free of chemicals and pesticides?文章源自FOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/am/11297/
“The word ”organic" should not be taken to mean pesticide-free. Agricultural techniques have always strived to control the introduction of toxic substances and to help people maintain and replenish soil fertility. Certified organic products should be grown and processed according to strict standards of non-toxic substances and no persistent chemicals. However, organic crops are still exposed to various agricultural chemicals during growth. According to monitoring, in the United States, for example, nearly all rainfall and groundwater nationwide currently contain various trace chemicals due to excessive use of chemicals over the past 50 years. Nevertheless, organic farming is still considered a more environmentally sound technique.文章源自FOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/am/11297/

(10) Can sugarcane farmers benefit from organic sugarcane farming?文章源自FOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/am/11297/
Yes, sugarcane farmers who grow organic sugarcane can receive subsidies from growing organic sugarcane (in the United States, for example). In addition, sugarcane farmers who grow organically use sustainable agricultural practices and will not exhaust soil fertility in sugarcane fields, that is, the use of chemicals will pollute groundwater. Therefore, the service life of the soil will be extended, and future crops will be protected.文章源自FOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/am/11297/
