REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Choose Organic IngredientsCan organic farming feed the world? Which side of the argument do you fall on? Why?
Wei-Hsing Wang 10/24/2018 8:56 AMI think on a small scale, organic farming can be sustainable. However, on the a larger global scales, I don't think so, not yet. We need to spend more on R&D, to enable scientists to develop natural herbicides and pesticides, so that everyone can benefit from organic products. -
ALICIA AGUILA 10/24/2018 8:54 AMI asked 3 of my neighbors to join me in an one hour walk by the beach this coming Friday evening and they have accepted. I did my 1.15 hr exercise routine last evening and felt great. I have so much energy and feel better than ever. I am happy!!! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Advocate for More Food OptionsGiven the impact of pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers on both the natural world and our food systems, what do you think about the use of these products in agriculture?
Wei-Hsing Wang 10/24/2018 8:52 AMI believe we should be growing our foods organically as much as possible. However, I do understand we cannot eliminate pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers all together. I think we should explore all options of not using these harmful chemicals. We should enable scientists to develop natural pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers, spend more dollars on R&D.
