On the thought of using water,some cities are investing millions to recycle the water,not thinking about all the drugs and chemicals the filters will not remove,heart meds,anti seizure,meds,even the bottled water companies, unless they use a very strong reverse osmosis filter,it will not eliminate the possible contamination.think about that the next time you drink bottled, water or draw a big glass full at the kitchen sink....

There is a slight problem because they FDA have not yet determined what the word organic means yet. Some of the food you buy labled organic is still using fertilizer like organite which is made from water plants sludge.

Some things organic are a better choice for my money. Something I peel doesn't have the spray residue inside such as an orange. Strawberries must be organic. We are all exposed but limiting that exposure is an option afforded us that I choose to support.

I'll take my chances with ''organic'' rather than chemically fertilized.

Organic is not perfect but it is a step above consuming Monsanto/Bayer round up.

Worse still is they use old classifications of pesticides that HAVE been proven in some instances to be more harmful than other methods, it takes more land, and puts out a lower yield— it encourages food poverty in the poorer communities. It’s as crazy as antivaxxers.

Vertical farms hold some value in addressing many of the problems of producing food outdoors. Water with nutrients is recycled. no weeds, less space required for continuous food production and easy to harvest are just some of the good points. Now if they could use solar for the energy needed they would be great.

Organic produce/foods can still have traces amounts of pesticides on them. There are guidelines on how much they can have, where the pesticides came from, but still be labeled "Organic"

It's just another way to separate you from your $$$$,thinking you will live healthier,while the grower goes and put's your $$$$ in his bank.
