The impacts upon non-target and target animals and crops are the biological issues with non-organic and organic farming methods. Non-organic farming methods prioritize specific animals and crops whose marketability and profitability warrant lush, rapid growth even if the necessary inputs and resources compromise the life cycles and natural histories of animals and plants deemed dispensable, in the way or of lesser importance. Organic farming methods contrastingly take in the entire picture through attention to the well-being of the entire farm as one system, one unit, one whole warranting botanical controls and natural predators over chemical, genetically modified, non-local, off-site synthetic inputs and resources.

Yes, all farming was organic before the manufacture of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
The word is variously spelled as one word "nonorganic" or hyphenated "non-organic" which is a specialized informal term because the true opposite of organic is inorganic. Neither is in most spell-checkers.
· Switch to organic or biological farming methods · Curtail the use of pesticides and fertilizers. · Persuade polluting farmers to use pesticides in such a manner that it does not enter surface water
no, for the most part. this doesnt mean that organic or other farming methods are sustainable...
People may like organic farming because, it is friendly to our planet and the diversity of living things on it.
Some farming methods that can reduce negative impacts on soil include crop rotation, cover cropping, reduced tillage practices, and incorporating organic matter into the soil. These methods help improve soil structure, increase soil organic matter content, and reduce erosion.
Farmers are adopting organic methods to grow crops due to increasing consumer demand for chemical-free and environmentally sustainable products. Organic farming can also improve soil quality, promote biodiversity, and reduce pollution compared to conventional farming practices. Additionally, some farmers see organic farming as a way to promote long-term sustainability and resilience in their operations.
There are many arguments both on the "for" and "against" side of whether their should be more organic farms. The main "for" argument is the "depletion of the environment, overuse of pesticides/fertilizers and loss of natural habitat for wildlife through intensive farming". There is also the "cruelty to animals farmed through intensive farming methods" argument. The main "against" argument is that "it is not possible to feed the world's population through organic farming methods, because organic farming yields much less than conventional farming methods". Personally, I think there is a happy middle-ground to be found. Also, many farms are "organic" in all but name, due to various issues associated with being certified as organic.
Because of media reports and scares about intensive farming methods.
Yes, organic fruits can go bad before non-organic fruits since they lack genetic modifications and preservatives.
Vitamin E is an organic chemical (meaning a complex compound containing the element carbon), but if you are referring to the "food" sense of those words it may be either organic or nonorganic depending on its source and how it was processed. Note: in chemistry the terminology is organic and inorganic while in "foods" the terminology is organic and nonorganic. The terminologies are completely unrelated.
