Zayed's Green Legacy went to Abu Dhabi Organic Farm this time!
Abu Dhabi organic farm offers a range of organic products
including vegetable, fruits, milk and honey!
Organic farms act as a refuge for wild plants, offsetting
the loss of biodiversity on conventional farms
And also, a research found that organic farming led to higher weed diversity
on surrounding conventionally farmed fields.
Farmland provides essential habitat for many animals,
But intensification of agriculture has led to a loss of biodiversity.
However, in order to provide the extra food needed by
the higher human population of the future,
without destroying forests and wetlands, farming needs
to be made more intensive.
Supporters of organic farming say the method could be a potential compromise
between meeting food security needs and providing habitat for bees, birds and other wildlife.
See you next time with new activity!
