The Problem with Pesticides
Pesticides have long been used to ensure high agricultural yields, but their downsides can’t be ignored.
-
Health Concerns: Pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables can pose risks to consumers, especially those most vulnerable, such as children.
-
Environmental Impact: Runoff from fields can contaminate water supplies and harm aquatic ecosystems.
-
Pest Resistance: Overuse can lead to pesticide-resistant pests, creating an endless cycle of dependency on chemical solutions.
-
Negative Effects on Soil Fertility: Excessive pesticide use can harm beneficial microorganisms in the soil, reducing its fertility and long-term health.
For farmers looking for alternatives, the path forward often seems unclear—until now.
