Organic farming practices regulated by the USDA successfully limit soil risk to colonization by pathogenic bacteria, according to a recent American study published in the journal Frontiers in...
Birds from organic farms exhibit more vitality than those who live on conventional farms, according to a recent French study. Organic birds exhibit a higher rate of active behaviors including...
Organic farms vary in agricultural ecological practices, with small farms incorporating a higher quantity of sustainable methods than larger ones, according to a recent...
Foraging bats–bats who live in green spaces– prefer organic farms over conventional farms, according to a recent Italian study. Farm management was the greatest indicator of bat activity, and...
Organically cultivated soil hosts a more diverse microbiome than that of conventionally-farmed land, where many farmers treat their crops with synthetic chemicals to fight soil borne diseases....
Biodiversity is a term used to refer to the number of species in one region or ecosystem, and for the first time,...
When farmers increase the number of crops in their fields, this in turn changes the landscape, and wild pollinators stand to benefit, according to a paper published yesterday in...
