How Conventional and Organic Farming Methods Differ

Far from some stereotypes as the latest trendy label for food, organic farming actually precedes today’s conventional farming methods. But what are the differences between organic and conventional farming?

Primarily, organic farming refers to traditional farming processes which were used before pesticides and other chemicals became the norm.

Organic farmers also steer clear of using genetically modified (GM) seeds. Genetic modification can assist in producing desirable characteristics such as a longer shelf life or a greater immunity to pests. Yet this manipulation of a seed’s natural genetic makeup can be detrimental to the environment. GM crops may also have a negative impact on biodiversity.

In addition, Sustainable Table highlights that there are rules around the saving of GM seeds: farmers must purchase new seed every year, which does not promote sustainable farming. Organic farmers may use the previous year’s seed to grow new crops.

In conventional farming, soil is fortified through the use of chemical intervention. Organic farming relies on various natural methods to nurture and protect crops, including animal grazing, hand weeding and crop rotation.

Important Notice to Parents and Guardians

The World Health Organisation recommends that breastfeeding is best for your baby.
Having a balanced diet when breastfeeding is also important. Infant Formulas should only be used after you’ve sought advice from a doctor or health practitioner.
A decision not to breastfeed can be difficult to reverse and introducing partial bottle feeding may reduce the supply of breast milk. It is also wise to consider the cost of infant formula.
If you use infant formula, all preparation and feeding instructions must be followed as per the manufacturer’s instructions. This is important for your baby’s health.
