Market development for organic crops and products. Segregation facilities at all stages of transport and processing. Support for the development of an organic processed food industry. Conclusion This Committee's concern is for sustainable economic development. The current model of farming as agribusiness, using pesticides and synthetic fertilizer, and now genetically-engineered crops, which has proliferated in the last 50 years, is not sustainable.
Organic agriculture is viable and sustainable.
Pesticides are not necessary to grow enough crops to feed the world or for profitable farming. Organic agriculture is the alternative and should be given maximum support and promotion.
