Organics: a matter of ebb, flow, & logistics

By Lucinda Clark, Founder and CEO of Space Girl Organics.

In our world, as we know it, everything works in tandem. For every action there is a reaction, for every cause there is an effect, and every ebb has a flow.

The choosing of organics keeps these natural processes in harmony and balance. This is because organic agriculture at its core, seeks to work with the natural occurring elements of nature. It is not reliant on synthetics, created by man in a lab, which although they may increase per acre production of crops, they also have hazardous effects on microbiology of the soil, our water supply, our health, and wildlife.

As humans at the top of the food chain we have a responsibility to keep from damaging or depleting the bottom of the food chain. Otherwise, our cockiness with be our downfall.

By choosing organics we can stop running around fixing problems we, ourselves, created.

We can stop creating chemicals to kill things whose purpose we don’t completely grasp only to turn around, after we have removed them from existence, and realize their use, to create a new chemical to take their place.

By choosing organics we can support an agriculture system that seeks to work in tandem with nature to keep our resources free from mutilation and our families fed.

In my opinion, our food supply issues in the world are not a matter of per acre production but rather a logistics issue. So instead of wasting such great intellectual talent on creating chemicals in a lab, let’s better utilize that talent by putting people to work on logistical issues such as:

1. Putting unused acres into production

2. Shortening the farm to table miles so we don’t have food wasted in transport

3. Creating markets for farmers who choose to produce food consumable in its natural state rather than government subsidized markets created for field corn which must be altered before we consume it

4. Teaching farmers to farm organically

5. Getting the surplus that, if we put all of our unused acres into production, we most definitely will have to those in need.

That’s my two cents on why organic is superior.
