What can organic farming be used even more for in the future?

Organic farming can be used for any crop that can be grown in the future. Since no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides are used in organic farming, if the soil is not suitable it would need to have organic matter and/or compost added, as well as other organic enhancements possibly. Also, organic methods of controlling insects and weeds would need to be used, but growing organically is not limited to any certain area.

In non-organic farming, fertilizers are used to replenish certain nutrients only, while other nutrients may be depleted. In that sense, soil (nutrients in the soil) last longer in organic farming.

Where can organic farming be used in the future?

Organic farming is a way of growing foods without the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. It can be used anywhere a farmer wants to use it now and in the future. Organic farming is also GMO-free, but since GMOs are cross pollinating organic crops and more cross pollination is likely to occur in the future, it is possible that that all foods, including organic, will have GMOs in them in the future and truly organic foods that are free of GMOs will be lost.
