【Yaosheng】Only
after reading this introduction did I realize the importance
of organic agriculture for life, so we should continue to
promote organic agriculture, thus making everybody’s lives
more safe and more beautiful.
After reading the essay “Why we need organic
agriculture,” I feel if it were not for organic agriculture,
we could not eat healthy food; that is to say, when farmers
spray agricultural chemicals, this will poison nearby soils.
These poisons will spread around and enter plants; when
eaten they will enter the belly and gradually collect in the
body, so the human body will start to get sick. Because of
the use of agricultural chemicals each year, we are losing
up to one fourth of the biodiversity around the world; the
number of annual deaths due to chemical poisoning is almost
220,000 persons. It is evident how much we need organic
agriculture.
【Zuyuan】”Organic
rice,” although the price is rather expensive, is able to
safeguard our health. Cultivating organic rice can avoid
plant diseases and harmful pests, and is able to maintain
soil fertility. Following the changes brought about by time,
the quality of life and the quality of food have been
elevated. Now we stress “safety” and “nutrition,” we now
have the production of “organic agriculture.” Since the
World Trade Organization came to Taiwan, the impact on
Taiwan has been unavoidable. Perhaps “organic farming” is
able to open up a new day for us.
【Youcheng】Because
of the progress of technology, modern man has been able to
enjoy abundant, fast paced, and convenient lives. But as the
book Is this Grass Field Pretty or Not describes they
trade the natural environment for industrial development,
which brings environmental pollution and destruction. The
result is the original face of the planet is hard to
restore; this is really scary.
I think organic agriculture was conceived under
“environmental consciousness!” Organic agriculture is a
production system able to be sustained regardless whether
considered in terms of the soil, ecological system, or the
health of humanity. It is a science with a mixed tradition,
of innovation, and of scientific development. The purpose is
to hope that mankind lives together with other living
organisms in a symbiotic environment, letting the common
mother of humanity—the earth—able to sustain its existence.
【Yaru】The
over use of chemical fertilizers and agricultural pesticides
to elevate the productivity of traditional cultivation
methods over the last several years has already seriously
destroyed the quality of life, polluted the environment, and
harmed human health. So the over use of fertilizers is a
major problem for agriculture on Taiwan. This has stimulated
the development of organic agriculture on Taiwan. Although
organic products are more expensive than normal products, in
order for modern man to eat more healthily and more
nutritiously, many consumers are willing to spend time as
well as money to preserve their safety, and buy some ease of
mind! After reading a detailed introduction about organic
agriculture, it made me take an additional step in
understanding and knowing how important “organic”
agriculture is for our lives. Modern society has already
taken steps towards the slogan of “only through going
organic will we be going anywhere;” organic agriculture has
become the natural way to go, and is a pronoun for being
healthy.
【Siwen】Doing
business to earn money must also earn peace of mind. One
cannot earn money by illegal means, so when doing business
one must have a conscience. One cannot sell inferior
products to customers. A common saying has it that “What
people do, Heaven is watching.” Therefore, cultivating
fields is the same thing. In the course of cultivation, one
cannot arbitrarily use agricultural chemicals. This not only
will cause people to worry about their health when they eat,
it will pollute the earth and water sources, even effect our
children and grandchildren. I remember I once read a poem
about commiserating with farmers: “With drops of sweat the
grain is buried in the earth”—farmers like this use
incomparable will power to produce crops where “each kernel
is laboriously gained.” If we are able to let each of us eat
more healthily, and eat with more peace of mind, this will
be the greatest accomplishment of farmers. Organic
agriculture is the correct decision for humanity and for the
earth. Let’s live in peace with the nature!
【Xinhui】The
over use of chemical fertilizers and agricultural pesticides
to elevate the productivity of agricultural methods, truly
is the assassin for the disease of modern civilization, and
is the invisible man who is the destroyer of the ecology.
Therefore, “organic agriculture” truly is a goal that
mankind must pursue. I feel that modern society affords many
conveyances, but there are many aspects that are cause for
worry. Therefore, in order to be able to eat more healthily,
more and more consumers are willing to spend more energy and
money to purchase food that is commensurate with protecting
the environment and safety and thereby have healthy bodies.
Only in this way will we be able to accomplish even more
ideals. Because organic agriculture requires large amounts
of time, and neither chemical fertilizers nor pesticides are
sprayed, instead organic fertilizers are used, therefore the
money needed and human labor involved is rather a lot, so at
present it is not widespread. I feel that this is a pity; I
hope that more and more people will be able to use the most
natural of methods and produce healthy products. This is a
blessing for modern man! |
