GREEN: Organic Produce versus Nonorganic Produce Dear Mr. Green: Lately I see more and more "organic" fruits and vegetables in the supermarkets. I'm confused. Often the organic apples or strawberries aren't as red or as large as the other ones. They sometimes have spots or insect holes. And organic produce can cost three times as much as other produce! So, tell me, what exactly are organic fruits and vegetables? And why are they so expensive? Confused Shopper Now Read Mr. Green's answer. Dear Confused Shopper, You're right. Sometimes organic produce doesn't look as nice as nonorganic produce, and it generally costs up to 50 percent more. Let me explain why. Since about 1950, farmers have used chemicals to grow their fruits and vegetables. They use pesticides to kill insects that eat their plants. They use herbicides to kill the weeds that kill their plants. These chemicals are a great help to farmers. By using them, farmers can grow more produce on…arrow_forwardBesides biotechnology, identify one technology that seems to have the greatest potential positive effect on food security?arrow_forward
