It’s inherent to a human to take drastic measures only when the consequences are too serious. Here we mean the transition to organic farming when things with pesticides are really bad.
Usually, farmers make such decisions not because organic farming is trendy, or one can make a fortune on it. The main reason lies in its eco-friendliness and sustainability. Due to pesticides exposure, a lot of farmers, and even their families, have the health problems. The symptoms of herbicides poison may include asthma, muscle aches, insomnia, headaches, nausea, and temporary paralysis etc. Kate Mendenhall, the director of the Organic Farmers Association, claims that “It’s definitely a common story for many farmers”. For example, the farmer whose name is Martens says that he was afraid of spraying pesticides. He knew that after the process he’d need recreation for a month.
Therefore, Martens and his family went for organic farming so that to save themselves and the environment. Another farmer Levi Lyle transited to organic farming and by doing this “cured” his father of cancer. Trent, the after, already developed stage 4 lung cancer, and the refusal from pesticides became the treatment for him. Here we’ve discussed only some examples of transition to natural farming, but there are much more of them every day. The conclusion is the following: save your health, and go organics.
This will be one of the most crucial decisions not only in your career, but in life generally.
