Organic farming is practiced in approximately 100 countries throughout the world, with more than 24 million hectares (59 million acres) now under organic management. Australia leads with approximately 10 million hectares (24.6 million acres), followed by Argentina, with approximately 3 million hectares (7.4 million acres); both have extensive grazing land. Latin America has approximately 5.8 million hectares (14.3 million acres) under organic management, Europe has more than 5.5 million hectares (13.5 million acres), and North America has nearly 1.5 million hectares (3.7 million acres). If you've read about our environmental advantage, then you'll see how that translates into an organic advantage. With no chemicals leaching from our posts into the soil, your certification should be a lot more true to the organic goal. Our environmental concern with wood posts is contamination of ground water. But growing anything near chemical-soaked wood posts will have your produce sucking up those chemicals. Please contact us if you need supporting documentation. |
