Recently, I saw an e-commerce company selling fruit from a farm, and the slogan was "no pesticide, no fertilizer", which again inspired me to write this article.

Three "fruits without pesticide and fertilizer" with pesticide residues

We visited this farm twice last year, and it was also recommended by a friend. The farmer meets several key points of my judgment on reliable organic farms. First, the farmer has an idea and is doing work related to social work; Second, from the visit on that day, the natural ecological environment where the farm is located is good and diverse. Farmers also have "very good" stories, such as losing a lot of money for the farm, and even selling houses to raise the farm. But, two thousand and fifteen In, we tested the apples on this farm one hundred and ninety-one Items of pesticide residues, four of the test results exceeded the target value zero point zero one Reporting limit of These four pesticides and residues are acetamiprid zero point zero one two , carbendazim zero point zero two seven , Chlorpyrifos zero point zero one two , Tebuconazole zero point zero one six After testing, we didn't sell. Because my colleague was responsible for communicating with the farm at that time, I remember he told me that the farmer said that he could manage according to our standards in the coming year, but

Every year, we have to wait a long time to eat this tomato. Last winter, affected by the haze, the last crop of tomatoes almost failed to harvest, that is to say, from last year eleven Month to this year four In June, I didn't eat tomatoes for about half a year, especially

Shopkeeper Shi's interviewee this time is Dr. Zheng, a teacher of an organic agricultural school in a famous organic agricultural area.

Organic Farming School Nurtures Organic Farming

Korean Women Farmers Association（ KWPA ） one thousand nine hundred and eighty-nine The sister vegetable garden project was established in KWPA2009 A project incubated in was mainly to see that most rural women had no family and social status, and many female farmers had no jobs. They hoped to give women the dignity and status of working in rural areas, including economic income. Later, five years ago, the Korean government supported social enterprises KWPA At that time, the government subsidized part of the salaries of social enterprise staff for five years. Although the sister vegetable garden is a registered social enterprise, it has no equity structure. The majority of its income comes from the member's organization commission, and the other part comes from government and social donations.

two thousand and fifteen The year may be the year when Chinese people's environmental awareness turned. The word "haze" is deeply engraved in the minds of every modern urban person. Some blame the government for its inability to control haze, while others curse the pollution emissions of industrial enterprises. Many people have very big problems in their minds, but what we see and understand is just the tip of the iceberg of environmental pollution, Three decades of rapid industrialization, urbanization and modernization have brought convenience to our lives, but our society has also paid a huge environmental price for this. The direct result of "haze" is gray sky, school closure, vehicle number limitation, but there are also some invisible pollution, such as heavy metals in the soil, agricultural residues, hardening, soil erosion, biodiversity reduction, pesticide abuse, food addition, which seems to be far away from our daily life, But in fact, it will eventually affect everyone because of the energy and material cycle of nature. Some are shown by diseases, and some are shown by affecting the quality of daily life. However, behind these big problems, there is the "contribution" of each of us. Unlimited consumption desire has brought unlimited waste disposal. Enjoy more and more convenient life, but forget the high carbon emissions behind. Enjoy cheap and high-quality products, but ignore the return of the workers behind. Even the air purifier that purifies haze purifies every unit of air, The energy consumption and carbon emissions generated by production behind may exceed the purification amount.

  Editor's Note:

Shopkeeper Shi, who shares the harvest farm, will receive a dozen messages every day: Shi Yan, can I visit your farm and study? I also want to be my own farm and eat healthy food like you.

Some friends must see her when they visit the farm.

It's a pity that there is only one shopkeeper Shi. Many friends travel all the way to the farm. It usually takes more than two hours to visit and chat. So half a day has passed, and at most a week fourteen Half a day. More importantly, the farm has a lot of work to deal with, and the shopkeeper doesn't want to answer repeated questions every day.

Therefore, we hope to write an article with the most questions for more people to refer to.

problem one : Shi Yan, can I visit your farm and study? I also want to be my own farm and eat healthy food like you.

A: Of course, you can visit the farm. But please call us in advance 01060466095 In this way, team members will show you around and answer questions.

I think being a farmer and eating healthy food are two problems. Let's break it down:

stay ten month nine Arrive on eleven The landmark IFOAM At the organic agriculture conference, I noticed two important changes, although I only attended two sessions IFOAM The conference, but it seems that some topics have just been mentioned, and some discussions have returned to one Times.

The first topic is the discussion on the connotation and extension of agricultural ecology (ecological agriculture) or organic agriculture

Organic agriculture ORGANIC AGRICULTURE And ecological agriculture AGROECOLOGY  perhaps ECOLOGICAL FARMING What does it mean? It should be said that these problems are one In the classic works or thoughts of the times, in China three thousand The answer has been given in the agronomic thought years ago. Agriculture is not just the three most important issues or elements of organic agriculture, which is to solve the relationship between heaven, earth and people. From this perspective, the goal of organic agriculture should be to achieve the right time, right place and right people. Days, understanding phenology, temperature, solar term, sunlight, air



Farmersof Forty Centuries , F.H. King’s classic 1911 studyon modes of cultivation in China, Japan, and Korea, has long been a touchstoneof organic and sustainable farming movements in the West. The book serves asreminder that China’s traditional agricultural techniques were manifestly‘green’ and ‘sustainable’ long before the rise of American-style industrialfarming. King looked to traditional Chinese farming practices for lessons onhow to support large populations on relatively small amounts of arable land. Hefound that Chinese farmers made efficient use of local resources as theynurtured the soil. As anthropologist Fei Xiaotong observed, the book showed howChinese farmers lived a cycle – from soil to soil, and from generation togeneration.

What King observed was a product of China’s‘earthbound’ rural culture. In his estimation, the farmers he met were honest,industrious, peaceful, thrifty,

six ^th International  CSA Conference,

Shunyi, Beijing, China

two thousand and fifteen year eleven month 19-21 day

Shunyi district of Beijing, PRC   November, 19 ^th ­ twenty-one ^st , 2015.

As the government of Shunyi District, Beijing, China promises to build the local area into a demonstration site for rural life and modern agricultural innovation in China, the international community supports the Agricultural Alliance（ URGENCI ）It was decided to hold the 6th Social Ecological Agriculture Conference here. Beijing plans to build Shunyi Mountain Area into a "slow living" area. This is a project coordinated by the government, which aims to combine economic development with environmental protection, fully consider farmers' rights and interests, and achieve sustainable and scientific agricultural development.

The 6th International Conference on Social Ecological Agriculture will be held in conjunction with the 7th China Social Ecological Agriculture（ CSA ）The conference will be held jointly. It tries to highlight the current situation of "rural construction" and focus on community support for agriculture（ CSA ）The potential of the model in mitigating climate change and food security issues.

Rural construction

My name is Shi Yan. I grow vegetables.

Chinese cabbage is the main winter vegetable in Beijing. I remember when I was a child, my mother would buy a lot of Chinese cabbage and pile it in the yard of her home every winter, and then cover it with cotton quilts. In those days, almost all kinds of cooking dishes related to Chinese cabbage were eaten in winter. The market price of a Chinese cabbage is about two or three yuan. The Chinese cabbage in my hand comes from my farm. Our selling price is thirty Yuan.

Maybe you want to ask why this cabbage is so expensive? In fact, I want to ask, do you know why the price of cabbages in our market is so cheap?

stay When I was a doctoral student in Renmin University, I went to many rural areas to do research. At that time, I saw the problem of agricultural pollution in China. Farmers used pesticides and fertilizers almost without guidance. In order to make Chinese cabbage come to our table all the year round It seems that farmers will use a lot of chemicals and consume a lot of energy through long-distance transportation. Animal manure from industrial farms is discharged at will, causing great pollution to soil and water. At the same time, I Seeing the decline of the village, only three hundred and eighty-six thousand one hundred and ninety-nine Troops, thirty-eight Means women, sixty-one Means children, ninety-nine They are old people.
