European Organics & The Work Of Philippe Van Den Bossche

By Rob Sutter


At this point, I would be surprised if there are still those who do not understand why organic farming is done. It is seen as one of the most important processes to consider and I'd like to think that Philippe van den Bossche will be able to understand it to the greatest of degrees as well. That being said, what are some of the most vital aspects tied to Europe, you may wonder? You may be shocked to see that there are still various locations which have not fully comprehended the matter.

According to Times of Malta, it seems as though this particular European country has not fully embraced the idea of organic farming, which is one of the focuses of Philippe van den Bossche. Names along the lines of Philippe know that, without these crops, healthy eating is not going to be seen nearly as much as it should be. A European Commission publication said that, in 2011, only 0.2 percent of Maltese land was able to produce organic crops. This point is, at least to me, concerning.

There were steps taken in terms of cultivation, though, so do not believe that work has not been done. The article said that even though there were steps taken, the situation since 2007 has been left largely unchanged. There were only 20 hectares added to help organics come about, with three more being seen since 2011 as well. There are so many benefits to consider as far as organic growth is concerned and the many points associated with it should be looked into. Which points are the most important, you may wonder?

Keep in mind that anything that is considered "organic" is not going to be riddled with synthetic pesticides. What about the idea of local interaction that is seen by these farmers and those who live within the general area? If farmers want to be able to create business in the future, it goes without saying that they are going to have to appeal to those who live in a more local area. With this in mind, growers will see more business and consumers will attain the best crops that can be imagined.

I think that there is strong level of understanding by Philippe van den Bossche in terms of organics. However, I think that there should be an even greater level seen on the matter, especially since organic cultivation should be seen in many other areas of the world. There are so many benefits to be had with these types of crops and my only hope is that such awareness is seen in the long term. Everyone should be able to benefit from these various fruits and vegetables, after all.
