i know pero it's kinda mindless
organic for example
sa states kasi food production is done on an industrial scale so given na ung gumagamit sila ng GMO seeds from Monsanto, use of chemical fertilizers etc
so there's a genuine demand for organic (food grown the natural way)
eh dito sa atin madami parin naman organic farms sa mga probinsya
our food production hasn't yet been taken over by faceless corporations
so nakakatawa lang na may mga tao dito asking "is that organic?"
parang gusto ko sagutin "it's probably genetically engineered in Baguio"

And you'll be surprised to find out a lot of Filipino farmers are not really practicing "organic" farming at all.
This is from 2015:

DA-7: Some farmers still not open to organic farming
Some farmers in Central Visayas are still hesitant to adapt organic farming methods, which is the reason why the Department of Agriculture-7 may not fully convert 26,121 hectares of land in Central Visayas to organic agricultural farms by next year.
Felipe Apale, DA alternate focal person on organic agriculture, said some farmers are still hesitant to practice organic farming because it entails a tedious and laborious process and may result to low production of agricultural products.
Instead, the farmers prefer using commercial or genetically modified crops, which are made to resist chemical herbicides or produce insecticides that make the land toxic over time and harm other insects.

Organic Farming On the Rise
LA TRINIDAD, Benguet – Going organic has caught on. The Department of Agriculture reported organic agriculture production has grown enormously from 12,899 metric tons (MT) to 442,510 in a span of four years.
Challenges facing the organic industry include more encouragement for farmers to go back to natural methods of farming without chemicals.

However, Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel "Manny" Piñol said the government should not force farmers to use a specific agricultural method.
"I'm an organic farmer, I don't want to impose on farmers who would like to hang on to their traditional farming method to become organic farmers overnight because that's gonna destroy our food production program," Piñol told Rappler after Duterte delivered his SONA.
"Our program right now is to support both organic farming and the traditional farming method. But I believe that you don't really have to convince farmers. It is the market that will decide, that would have influence on the farming system," he added.
Piñol cited the case of banana farmers in Davao, who shifted to organic farming when Japan said it did not want pesticides in imported products.Last edited by leonleon; October 13th, 2017 at 09:37 PM.

Organic = more limited choices of pesticide/herbicide, but you have to use more of it when you need it... because you can't use the effective stuff.

Non-GMO = I'm too stupid to understand genetics, cross-breeding, hybridization and etcetera, so I'll avoid anything that uses targeted genetic modification to avoid creating genetically unstable crops/livestock that have stupid health issues.

Puregold is a crappy alternative to actual wet markets, where you can get better veggies, fish and meat for much, much less.
