CAPE TOWN, Jul. 17, 2009 (IPS/GIN) - Commercial farmers
sometimes fail at organic farming because they switch over too
quickly, ditching all chemicals, which is as traumatic for the soil
as "a drug addict going cold turkey".
This is how Cornelius Oosthuizen, the head of the South African
Biofarm Institute's management team, explains why there are
relatively few organic farming success stories in South Africa. The
South African Biofarm Institute promotes sustainable and profitable
biological and organic farming.
