Barbara Kingsolver Quote
The difference is an objective phenomenon of soil science; what we call soil is a community of living, mostly microscopic organisms in a nutrient matrix. Organic farming, by definition, enhances the soil's living and nonliving components. Modern conventional farming is an efficient reduction of that process that adds back just a few crucial nutrients of the many that are removed each year when biomass is harvested ... Chemicals that sterilize the soil destroy organisms that fight plant diseases, aerate, and manufacture fertility. Recent research has discovered that just adding phosphorus (the P in all NPK fertilizers) kills the tiny filaments of fungi that help plants absorb nutrients.
