Continued growth of organic sector protecting bees, improving biodiversity - NaturalNews.com
(NaturalNews) The key to effective agriculture that both sustains the
environment and provides clean bounty is rich biodiversity. And a new
study out of Germany has found that the organic sector is doing it best,
utilizing an array of crop and habitat varieties that are helping to
improve the land and protect vital pollinators like butterflies and
bees.
An international team of scientists from the Technical
University of Munich (TUM) looked at farms located in 12 regions
throughout Europe and Africa for their study. Some of the farms grow
organic crops, while others abide by conventional standards. Each farm
was evaluated based on the types of farming methods it employs, as well
as various landscape features that affect soil health.
