Organic Agriculture makes People Healthier |Biomedgrid

Current agriculture is characterized by excessive inputs of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and hormones, while insufficient application of organic fertilizers. It has been proved to be effective to increase yields of crops, vegetables and fruits [1], however, it also has resulted in numerous negative effects on the environment, including water, soil and food pollution, degradation of soil quality [2]. The biodiversity of plant and microbe has also declined in current agricultural ecosystem [3]. More seriously, high eco-toxicity and synergistic toxicity materials remained in the foods which might enrich through food chain to threat human health [4]. Previous researches frequently found that the residues of herbicides and pesticides in foods seriously harmed human health, such as damaging the nervous system and inducing lung fibrosis [5].
