US: Food safety and organic farming: impossible combination?
While the American traditional farming system has been fighting for years against bacteria damaging the crops, first of all Escherichia coli, organic producers are now fighting another fight against the laws for food safety, which provide for the destruction of ecosystems in the name of crop and harvest protection.
According to these regulations, where planted are cultivated, there can be no standing water or different vegetation that might transmit bacteria or any other kind of living thing. Even if just a squirrel steps between the salad, the harvest has to be destroyed.
In the US, in the marine reserve and biological paradise Monterey Bay, strategies are being implemented of destruction of nature, in the name of food safety and need for antiseptics fields.
Far from the eyes of people that see only the benefits of food safety, hectares and hectares of land are to be chemically disinfected, ponds are to be covered and the natural vegetation grubbed. Birds, frogs, mice and any other living thing that can affect the crops and their productivity will be captured and eliminated, because bacteria can attack the crops, because vegetables should be safe, no matter how many pesticides have been sprayed on them or how many Monsantoes take profit from that.
