Healthy Farming & How Russia Is Expanding It

By Rob Sutter


I would like to see more people take on organic healthy farming because, to me, it seems like the best kind of plan anyone can take up. It's not just in United States, either; Russia recently went through a process that would certify whether crops fit organic standards or not. It's clear that this is gaining ground abroad. It goes to show that synthetic items of multiple varieties are not going to be recommended if one wants to go about producing items which are deemed natural.

Healthy farming may seem subjective on the surface but in the most organic sense possible, natural growth alone is mandatory. If a farmer were to bring any kind of manmade growth into his crops in order to expand them in size, then it can no longer be called organic. This is one rule to consider but another one has to deal with pesticides, a basic cleaning property that is used by supermarkets abroad. I think it goes without saying that the most organic properties will be associated with robust networks the likes of Colle Farmers Market.

The article I had read on the Russia Beyond the Headlines website detailed this story in a much greater sense. It talked about how people belonging to Moscow and St. Petersburg would be willing to shell out more money for the sake of a more organic market. I think that this is excellent because it's clear that people want to eat healthier and they have a strong desire for a source. Healthy matters are being seen and I am in full support of the change.

The article went into detail about opinion polls which were done between the residents of the areas in Russia before. What was found was that 60 percent of residents would have no problem shelling out more money for products if they were grown in a more economically sustainable environment. Let's say that you buy a package of strawberries from a big supermarket, for example. These people would probably pay twice that price to receive berries grown in areas which can be best deemed organic.

If this trend is one that is able to go on a more global scale, I would be very pleased. I am all for people reaping the benefits of products which are cleaner than just about anything you buy at a big box market. The problem is that finding crops which are cleaned and cultivated by means of nature is not always the easiest task. I still think that it can be done, though, and that the results which arise from it prove to be substantial in the grand scheme of things.
