Chris Schreiner: 作为Oregon Tilth的首席执行官,我认为有机食品的种植和生产方式对人类、动物和地球都有益。我们致力于通过与大学、政府及其他组织合作,推动食品系统的重大变革,为有机农业和食品提供资金和支持。有机农业的关键在于避免使用可能危害环境的化学物质,如杀虫剂和化肥,而是采用轮作和天然肥料等传统方法,专注于维护健康的土壤环境。健康的土壤富含生命力,能够保持水分和空气,从而保障农作物的健康生长。同时,有机农场注重动物福利,提供良好的生活环境。有机农业不仅保护土壤免受侵蚀,还能净化水源,减少化石燃料的使用,从而减少污染,改善空气质量,并为应对气候变化做出贡献。 Molly Bloom: 我了解到,虽然许多农民使用人造杀虫剂来保护农作物,但这些化学物质可能会污染土壤和水源,对环境造成危害。因此,我计划尽可能选择有机食品,因为有机种植采用对环境更友好的方法。即使无法购买到有机食品,我也会确保在烹饪前彻底清洗,以减少潜在的风险。有机农业通过使用对环境危害较小的化学物质以及采用其他方法(如利用鸡来控制害虫)来保持土壤和作物的健康。总而言之,有机食品代表了一种更健康、更可持续的食品生产方式,值得我们支持。
