One would certainly hope that conventional farming could learn from insights such as these where they prove to be helpful. By pursuing alternative techniques the organic movement helps add to our overall fund of knowledge - there is still a great deal that we all remain ignorant about. The proper way forward is for the organic movement not to see itself as the right answer but as one part of a wider effort to increase our overall understanding of farming. Another point of concern is that the organic movement is characterised by what looks worryingly like a fundamentalist and anti-scientific attitude towards chemicals . The vast majority of these are in fact natural chemicals which have been isolated and then made available to farmers.
Many plants produce their own pesticides for self-protection.
Modern day farming can take advantage of this. But the organic movement casts all this research aside. These chemicals tend to be highly toxic and non-specific in their effects. It was only recently that the Soil Association in the UK banned the use of nicotine, which is a deadly poison. Presumably it was originally permitted because it occurs naturally in tobacco plants.
