European Organics & The Work Of Philippe Van Den Bossche

By Rob Sutter


There are many reasons why organic farming measures are carried through and I do not think that anyone can overlook this particular matter. Philippe van den Bossche knows all too well the importance behind this, which is something that should probably go without saying. However, it seems as though there are certain areas of the world that do not exactly have the idea of organic brought into effect. When it comes to Europe, more awareness in terms of organics should be brought to the forefront.

There was a written report on the Times of Malta that spoke about the idea of organic farming, one of the focuses of Philippe van den Bossche. I believe that names like Philippe should focus on the way that it is done in Europe, especially considering the fact that these particular crops are some of the most natural and, as a result, the healthiest that can be imagined. A European Commission publication was cited and it said that only 0.2 percent of land in Malta was used for organic growth. This is, to say the least, a miniscule amount.

This isn't to say that matters weren't taken in order to improve organic cultivation. In fact, the article said that even though matters were taken in order to improve things, the situation remained unchanged since 2007. Only 20 hectares were used for this purpose, with three more being seen since 2011. However, these particular changes have hardly made much of a difference, which is unfortunate considering the plentiful benefits behind this level of growth. If you'd like to know what there is to benefit from, certain points are worth looking into.

First of all, keep in mind that organic crops are not subject to pesticide exposure, which is one of the many points that help to make them healthy. Secondly, what about the level of interaction that is seen between various parties? The business that happens from farmer to consumer is very local, which is exactly the type of scope that should be had as far as farming of this caliber is concerned. This, more than anything else, will bring about some of 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.
