(2) Is organic food completely free of chemicals and pesticides?Artikel berasal dariFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/ms/11297/
“The word ”organic" should not be taken to mean pesticide-free. Agricultural technology has 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 non-persistent chemicals. However, organic crops are still exposed to various agricultural chemicals during growth. According to monitoring, in the United States, for example, virtually 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 technology.Artikel berasal dariFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/ms/11297/

(10) Can sugarcane farmers benefit from organic sugarcane farming?Artikel berasal dariFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/ms/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, even if chemicals are used, which would pollute groundwater. Therefore, the lifespan of the soil is extended, and future crops are protected.Artikel berasal dariFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/ms/11297/
(11) Can organic blended syrup serve as a substitute for refinedwhitesugar?Artikel berasal dariFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/ms/11297/
