US consumers are confronted with the USDA organic label on a daily basis but only a handful of people know what it represents. Director Anthony Suau provides a thorough guide on the history of organic farming, the regulatory practices, and, most of all, the farming practices that have led to organic produce at your local grocery store or outdoor market. And to understand what organic is, it is also necessary to know what organic is not.
Suau also takes a close look at conventional agriculture through the voices of farmers and renowned scientists. The research presented by the scientists on the human and the environmental effects of synthetic pesticides is profoundly disturbing and unprecedented.
