Organic farming cannot feed the developing world It is argued that without pesticides and genetically modified crops‚ farming is not economically viable in the developing world. Non-organic farming allows you to farm land that would otherwise not be farmable. Yields are high and costs are low. However‚ there is a worry that intensive farming in these countries will destroy the fertility of the land and in the long run organic farming will secure the future for sustainable farming.

List of the entire famous scientist Alessandro Volta(1745-1827) An Italian Physicist who was a pioneer in the development of electricity. He created the first electric battery in 1800. This battery gave the world its first continuous‚ reliable source of electric current‚ and led to all important discoveries of the use of electricity. The unit of measuring electromotive force (emf)‚ Volt(v) is named after him. He also proposed the law that the air expands at a constant rate with increasing temperature
