“The word ”organic" should not be taken to mean pesticide-free.

Certified organic products should be grown and processed according to strict standards for non-toxic substances and non-persistent chemicals. However, organic crops are still exposed to various agricultural chemicals during cultivation. According to monitoring, in the United States, for example, nearly all rainfall and groundwater nationwide currently contain various trace chemicals due to the excessive use of chemicals over the past 50 years. Nevertheless, organic farming is still considered a more environmentally sound technique.Өгүүлэл нь ...-аас авсанFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/mn/11297/
