Organic food is a huge trend: it promises a healthier and better life. But can Organic food really live up to the expectations or is it just baloney?

@Mince Verlot did you even watch the video? People are way too worried about pesticides when the true environmental impact comes from having to produce more all year long just to maintain 'organic' products. Focusing on seasonal produce reduces the needs thus production of out-of-season products, leading to a far better environmental impact that any organic labels ever could.

Correct, it's all about perception.

I argued it didn't matter, sugar is sugar. They didn't like that, I was just supposed to shut my mouth and go along with it, even though I knew better.

An important detail that's missed is that soil isn't just dead matter, it's full of fungus. Healthy soil requires a connection to these deeper mycelial networks in order to access the full range of nutrients. It could be that our farming techniques sever this connection and prevent the soil from replenishing. If we solve this issue, we could get more nutrition with less food.

My biggest problem with "organic" is that plenty of things that claim to be organic aren't, which is blatant false advertising but yet the brands aren't held accountable for it at all. And that's even before you get into the murky consensus of what is and isn't organic.

Of course there’s people that are gonna go on and on that everything they say is bullshit and false. Even if this video was incorrect, that doesn’t condemn every single video they make on this channel to be garbage. Each of their videos shows the effort they put in to make. It takes 1200 hours to make a video. Which I don’t believe is far fetched. Gathering information, sending it to have it looked over by others sources, re writing, recording the narration and animating the video and making music. All that adds up.

A discussion on Regenerative agriculture would be very interesting to see how it compares with conventional and organic agriculture.
@StrazdasLT Рік тому
It cant keep up. There simply isnt enough land for it. All land that can be easily used for farming already is. Most of whats left is either national reserves or rocky ground that dont produce crops without significant terraforming. The figures are a bit outdated, but some poeple calculated how much we could produce on regenerative basis and it would be enough to feed around 500 million people in the world. There are currently more than 7000 million. Without conventional farming most of us would starve.
@jackdanielson1997 Рік тому
@Strazdas Everything you've stated is categorically wrong. Not all land is being used, "conventional" farming only started in the 1930s when there were already 2 billion people on the planet. "Conventional" isn't sustainable because the soil nutrients is declining over time and if we continue the current trends, the soil will be completely dead by 2080 so regenerative is the Only long term solution because it focuses on the soil health which also in turn increases the nutrients of the plants
@StrazdasLT Рік тому
@@jackdanielson1997 Conventional farming started in the 15th century when we invented crop rotation. We are using pretty much all land that is easily arable. Whats left is either a) forests, b) rocky land not good for agriculture or c) national parks. We could kill the C option and expand the cropland a bit but i doubt we will. Regenerative farming cannot sustain more than a billion people on the planet. Good luck convincing the other 6 billion they need to die.

@@deri1942 Good question! Yes, farms definitely need fertilizer. Manufactured fertilizers won't be around forever, unfortunately. Phosporous mines will run out in 50-100 years, and phosporous runoff into waterways isn't recoverable (yet...maybe someone will find out how to do it). Using farm animal manure instead for fertilizer (by purchasing manure or having more mixed-use farms) would solve the fertilizer problem.

Have you ever tasted a tomato that was home grown? After you eat one of those, a regulat supermarket tomato is like a 3d printed imitation with a poor excuse of a taste in comparison. If conventional can get to the necessary level and actually produce material that doesn't taste like plastic, this discussion wouldn't even be necessary, as we can wash our veggies, effectively destroying the pesticide problem. I'd say, swap synthetic fertilisers with compost and all will be gucci.

@@Didagg The video didn't say that.
@grandmothergoose 2 роки тому
@@Hr1s7i Organic, conventional, home grown or in test tube, compost or synthetic fertiliser, none of that makes any difference to the taste of a tomato if it's picked too early. Commercially grown tomatoes, no matter how they're farmed, are picked before they are ripe so they will survive long transportation and storage. They ripen in transit, but no longer being attached to the plant, they don't receive all the sugars and nutrients that make it taste great. Grow it at home, or buy locally grown, and that problem is eliminated, the tomatoes can be picked when they're properly ripe, have received all the sugars and nutrients from the plant at the end of ripening, and will taste fantastic.

You missed out concerns about the people working on the farms I think. My understanding is that often organic certification also includes minimum labour standards that are not necessarily law in the country where the food is produced. With bananas for example, buying Fairtrade or organic means the workers don’t have to handle the conventional chemicals that can severely damage their fertility, because the Fairtrade and organic certifications only allow the safer chemicals.

I find it very interesting that (unless I missed it) FLAVOR wasn’t mentioned. There is an enormous difference in flavor between organic and non-organic produce and other food products. I understand this video is more about the environment, but flavor is also a huge motivation to buy organic. I can definitely tell the difference in taste and quality. I do love the idea of buying non-organic produce in season however. That makes sense.
@sidarthurgortimer355 2 роки тому
There isn't really any consistent difference in flavor though. Sure, the specific organic apples that your supermarket sells might taste better than the specific non-organic apples your supermarket sells, but that's not true across the board. Confirmation bias might make you think that there is, though. If someone gave you two pieces of banana and told you that one is organic and the other isn't then you will probably say the organic piece tastes better, even if it turns out that they're both from the same banana.

@danielbarrera8391 Рік тому
I've noticed not only the flavor is better but the food is more colorful - or tends to be. I wish people would consider the spiritual aspect though... That's when you really get considered "crazy". The fact is, the major companies producing the non organic foods are producing them with a negative energy of fear which fuels greed. The food is not only nearly dead, it reduces liveliness in the body too. And this is reflecting on the environment of the whole ecosystem; everything is dying and becoming dead because of this violent taking. Most of us don't recognize it because we are mostly dissociated from ourselves and our bodies. We don't recognize the food's effects or what it reflects about our lives. Yep. This is the real crazy territory right here... And it gets you lumped up as a conspiracy theorist when you point out there are interests backing up these view points that are against organic farming. Gotta love it.

^^^ THIS!!! ^^^ Something i want to add though. If you can, grow your own veggies and fruits!! You don’t have to even grow them outside if you don’t have the space. Use big tubs and fill them with dirt. You can grow things like herbs, tomatoes, beans, peas, strawberries, blueberries, etc. Also aeroponics which is growing food out of dirt and spraying the bare roots with water, aka having them suspended in the air. And there’s hydroponics big towers with tiny pockets of spongey-stuff that the roots are in that cycles the water around in an evaporation cycle. Both of these have lots of online tutorials on how to make them. But if you don’t feel like making a fancy holder for your plants, just use big tubs with dirt in them. Oh!! And another plus of growing your own is that it’s cheaper than buying them. Once you get going it’s nice to have a constant supply of veggies and fruits. I recommend growing plants that give more than one yield. Root vegetables also are plantable but give less yield than planting say, peas which grow more pods like every day. And if you can’t put them outside to be pollenated, you can find tutorials to hand pollenate.

The symptoms that bugs have (neurological damage) when dying of pesticides are also some of the symptoms of dementia and Parkinson's. In many instances, the bug's nervous system is so disrupted that its motor skills begin to get violently shakey, and the autonomic system that keeps it breathing and other systems alive shut down. KEEP in mind that washing grapes (or anything) doesn't "completely" help with the use of pesticides. ** When pesticides are used, they eventually are rained or watered into the soil that the plant ROOTs drink from. The plant grows from what comes up out of the soil into the roots, into the plant, and into the food it produces. ** Think of it this way - - Put a white daisy into the water with green / red / OR blue food color....IN a few days the white daisy has become another color. Having nothing sprayed on it -- It has pulled up what was in the moisture in the soil - - OR in this case, just from the water.

Organic doesn't affect the food itself at all, just takes away some of the more dangerous tools we've developed for agriculture over the years. If you wash a regular apple, it is nutritionally and chemically indistinguishable from an organic one.

@@xCriticalStrikex I’m sorry I think it autocorrected what I was saying, I meant to say glyphosate. Glyphosate is the main compound in roundup. The food absorbs it and we eat it. Organic means no round up. It’s not a scam, a lot of people do not want that in their body and rightfully so. “Inorganic” has only been a thing since the late 60’s and farmers started using it in the 70’s. We’ve been farming organic for thousands of years there’s no reason to use glyphosate other than it’s cheap and companies just want to make as much money as they can. They don’t care about your health, that’s why there’s such a debate about organic. It’s propaganda big corporation farms pushing “inorganic” and makes organic seem like it’s crazy.

You got fooled. Organic still uses less pesticides, pesticides that don't kill microbiome and every living insect in a radius of a lightyear, including the extreme extiction of bees due to synthetic substances. Also no overuse of synthetic fertilizers (another issue because production is very co2 heavy and again destroys rainforests) that end up in rivers and drinking water.

From what I've gathered after looking heavily into this for the past many months. In general yeah, Organic doesn't matter much. But there are some specifics where they matter a lot. This video doesn't touch on animal products, which is one of the few areas where organic actually means the most. There are some specifics fruits and veggies that benefit a lot too, but most of them are a toss up, or don't really matter at all. But I would say: look into the Argentinian soy problem. Pesticides may not do a ton to those who eat the food it was put on, they usually clean that food. but those pesticides get into the air and water supply, and the local people around them suffer because of it. Still an excellent video, to cover every specific would take hours.

Not that the organic apples actually help them avoid cancer. Meaning that the study is simply misleading, if you think about it from a logical standpoint.

Conventional large scale mono-crop agriculture does not produce as nutritious food as traditionally and naturally grown organic produce. Some studies only look at the "macro" nutrients but not other aspects. Also, there is often bias in some of these studies. Much of the funding and study design is in such a way to promote a certain agenda. It's known that food nowadays is less nutritious than in the past. Part of the problem is with soil health. Plants can't uptake some of these nutrients. There is more to it than alluded to in this video. Current agricultural methods are also detrimental to the soil.

Pesticides also triggers allergies and other reactions on people, if they are sensitive enough to the stuff. When I go to a restaurant with my family, I usually say to the waiter what my mom is NOT allergic to, rather than the opposite, as she started off as lactose intolerant 30 years ago and nowadays a lot of different foods, even some types of cabbages triggers her allergies (resulting in a LOT of pain and diarrhea for a day, sometimes two). Grapes are one of the big no-nos so she avoids wine like the plague. Funny thing we recently discovered: If she drinks regular wine, her allergies go wild, however, whenever she drinks organic wine, nothing happens. She also has a really small crop in the backyard and love tending to plants, and sometimes she plants a few of the things that should trigger her allergies, but when it is on her crop or some types of organic version of them, she feels just fine. I believe she started being very allergic to some of the pesticides used in conventional crop. (her lactose intolerance sadly has nothing to do with this =/ )
@bipolarearth 2 роки тому
Your mother's lactose intolerance could actually have plenty to do with her reactions to eating conventionally grown vegetables! Pesticides don't only kill the insect pests, many of them also kill all microbe life in the soil and plant surfaces. One of the major bacteria on the surface of vegetables is lactobacillus. If your mother has gut irritation (diarrhea) when eating lifeless conventional veggies, this could be because she is lacking in these gut bacteria that would normally help breakdown not just lactose but plant material. And that's just one bacteria, likely there are plenty more beneficial organisms on organic vegetables. Try eating goat milk yogurt or lactose free yogurt before or right after going out to eat at restaurants to see if it helps. (Longshot I know)

Nature is full of allergens. Pollen is a major natural example that causes allergy. Nature is full of pesticides - natural pesticides. If farmers don't apply synthetic pesticides, plants would have to produce their own pesticides to attack predators and invaders.

GMO vs Organic doesn't really matter from an environmental standpoint, the real problem is with mono-culturing across the agriculture industry as a whole, both organic and non-organic. The extremely high demand for certain foods all year round (corn, tomatoes, strawberries, you name it) results in both farmers and growing companies to plant massive fields of the same crop over and over and over again. You see, the way farming used to be more commonly practiced is with a methodology called crop rotation. When you plant something in the ground, be it anything from potatoes to pineapples, they take nutrients from the soil (which gives them their flavor) and leaves nutrients behind when they're harvested (which enriches the soil). This is pretty much how all farming of any kind was done for a majority of our history, because each time a crop is harvested it leaves better and better soil for the next crop to be grown and harvested in. However... when industrialization took the agriculture industry by storm and year-round demand for certain crops increased, a lot of growers stopped rotating crops all together and focused their entire operations on one crop specifically as opposed to several in a year, which is called mono-culturing. From a business perspective this may seem like it makes sense, as you'd want to grow, sell, and specialize in whatever crop is in highest demand or at highest market price, but what happens from an agriculture perspective is actually counter-intuitive. When you make one field grow the same crop over and over again you're putting too many nutrients from one kind of crop in the soil while starving it of nutrients from other sources or kinds of produce... so gradually, over time, the fertility of the field (which is its ability to grow large yields of crops) diminishes, as does the natural flavors of produce grown in those fields, which often leads to a more bland tasting product. This is why many people complain about GMO produce not being as flavorful as "organic", because GMO crops and monocultures are the predominant choice for corporate growing companies who specialize in one or two products on a massive scale, companies like the Dole Pineapple company for example.
@redhidinghood9337 3 роки тому
I don't think just switching crops works. I mean theyre all plants needing the same nutrients. What makes the difference is type or size of the root. People here (i live near farmland and we dont use pesticides) usually make a break year where they just plant clovers or smth that doesn't really bring any value, thus wasting valuable land that could've been used for growing crops. It just makes farming more inefficient which causes deforestation cause u need more land
@mr.beanman9816 3 роки тому
Red Hiding Hood see, you have gotten a fact wrong. they leave nutrition in the soil behind. and plants need different amounts of different resources. and that can make a huge difference as if you plant only one type of crop. that will drain one type of nutrients and leave one other type. and that can a huge disbenifit to trying to grow them again, and clovers are not picky and leave behind essential nutrients. and you didnt explain how the size of the root helps/doesnt and the type of the root absolutely does not matter in any way, shape, or form. plus the nutrition from planting clovers helps the crops taste better. and that means better sales and reputation in the growing industry. therefore your entire point is off
@redhidinghood9337 3 роки тому
@@mr.beanman9816 theyre all plant so idk how can they need diff nutrients and for the roots planting just small roots can create more erosion of the soil where as tree roots keep the soil in place and can reach nutrients that are lower in the ground. But planting trees inside wheat fields is impractical so yeah.. And what reputation? Sales? Its not about making money its about using the least ammount of land to produce the most ammount of crops so we slow deforestation and climate change.
