She then says that there has never been a connection between the nutritional value of organic food and the residue that is found on them.

In those days‚ the solution for everything was the use of chemicals to eradicate or to reduce the expanding range of these organism without considering the true impact of such indiscriminate application of pesticides or herbicides or as Rachel Carson named as “Biocides”

Internationally‚ the introduction of bt cotton to China reduced pesticide spraying by one fourth (78‚000 tons) and substantially decreased incidences of pesticide poisoning in farmers. Roundup resistant GMO’s have increased the use of conservation till methods by farmers in the US‚ this reduces erosion rates and lowers greenhouse gas emissions from farm equipment

The issue with the pesticides‚ mainly DDT‚ was that they were meant to kill certain insects and or disease‚ but these chemicals are not selective.
