About the Organic Agriculture Industry
From TVs to TV dinners, technology plays a role in nearly all aspects of modern life. But when it comes to food production, many of us are turning away from technology toward organic methods of food production- methods that combine science with traditional farming practices. Growth in the organic industry's popularity should also sprout employment in its occupations. New technology developed over the past several decades have allowed farmers to grow more food using fewer resources. Compared with 60 years ago, today's farm can supply more than three times more corn per acre, and the average dairy cow produces almost four times more milk. This is mainly because the agriculture sector is getting better at producing the same amount of crops with fewer hands and because land, machinery, seed, chemicals and other farming supplies are becoming more expensive. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) notes that some less successful farmers are likely to go out of business as market pressures only leave room for more successful farmers. Other good endeavors for organic farmers include catering directly to urban and suburban consumers, and participating in cooperatives or community-supported agriculture. These endeavors allow organic farmers to collect a greater share of consumers' food dollars than traditional product sales."
