It really depends upon the standards the farmer is being graded on. Some certification companies allow the use of any type of seed and others that are more strict allow only certified organic seeds to be used.

What can organic farming be used even more for in the future?

Organic farming can be used for any crop that can be grown in the future. Since no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides are used in organic farming, if the soil is not suitable it would need to have organic matter and/or compost added, as well as other organic enhancements possibly. Also, organic methods of controlling insects and weeds would need to be used, but growing organically is not limited to any certain area.


What are the standards of an organic farmer in the UK?

Cultivation and production methods and resources are the guidelines that organic farms must meet. Organic farms have to be free of conventional farming-type inputs and outputs for three years before organic farming can begin. Nothing chemical, genetically engineered, off-site or synthetic may be present or used since inspections and paperwork will check for exclusively on-sire, organic inputs and outputs when organic farming operations begin.


Does the soil of organic farming last longer than conventional farming soil?

In true organic farming, the soil is built up with organic matter, which means nutrients in the soil are replenished. In non-organic farming, fertilizers are used to replenish certain nutrients only, while other nutrients may be depleted. In that sense, soil (nutrients in the soil) last longer in organic farming.
