Do you have any research discussing organic and conventional farming in Canada rather than in the US? I've been led to understand that the criteria for being an organic farmer in Canada is much more strict.

Great video! Love that it showcases farmers that grow both organic and conventional crops! Nice to see transparency admitting that organic farmers DO use pesticides and often have to apply more, more often.

What a crappy video. A place in Kerala is completely affected by the pesticides used and have lot of biological problems there. The fertilizers turn our soil synthetic and impotent. The produce with pesticides sprayed on them induces even cancer. On the other hand pesticides used on organic are Neem, Cowdung, Garlic etc that are bio and that doesn't kill human beings.
