Discuss reasons why or why not a producer would switch to organic farming
What will be an ideal response?
Obstacles to the adoption of organic practices by farmers include the risks of shifting to a new way of farming, a limited awareness of organic farming systems, and the lack of marketing and infrastructure.
Producers are switching to organic farming to lower input costs, address concerns over use of synthetic pesticides, practice good land stewardship, and potentially boost farm income. Many organically raised crops sell for a premium price compared to conventionally produced crops.
