What Are the Risks Associated with Organic Farming?
While organic farming has many benefits, it is not without its challenges. One risk is the potential for biological contaminants such as mycotoxins and bacterial pathogens, which can thrive in organic farming systems if not properly managed. These contaminants can have significant toxicological effects, including liver damage and acute gastrointestinal illness. Proper management practices are essential to mitigate these risks.
