Is organic the future of farming? In its pure form, maybe not. But elements of the organic philosophy are starting to be deployed in mainstream agriculture. In this web focus, Nature’s reporters analyse this trend, assess the extent of organic farming worldwide, and frame the questions on which its wider adoption will depend. Contents, including interactive graphics, are free until the end of May.
