Making a strong case for organic farming
Organic agriculture contributes a lot to nutrition and food security by having people consume food that promotes human health. One element that enhances nutrition is diversity in agricultural production.
The second reason is that organic agriculture is more resilient to the effects of climate change. If you look at the United Nations 2015 report on Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), it shows how climate change has become a very critical problem.
The resilience comes from the fact that agricultural systems that are based on organic agriculture pay much attention to natural cycles, issues of soil fertility and sustainability of agricultural production.
