Right again, Henry!
Good choice! On organic farms, foods are raised without the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Now, let me explain how we arrived at this answer.
To correctly answer this question, we need to understand the characteristics and practices of each option given:
A) Farm cooperatives: Farm cooperatives are organizations composed of farmers who work together to achieve common goals, such as purchasing supplies or marketing their products. While organic farming can be practiced within farm cooperatives, it is not exclusive to this type of organization.
B) Collective farms: Collective farms are agricultural production units in which multiple farmers work collectively on a single plot of land owned by the state or another collective. Again, while organic farming can be practiced on collective farms, it is not the only type of farming practiced in this context.
C) State farms: State farms are farms owned and operated by the government. They employ salaried workers and often work on a large scale. Like the previous options, organic farming can be practiced on state farms, but it is not the defining characteristic.
D) Organic farms: Organic farming refers to the practice of cultivating crops and raising livestock without the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Organic farms focus on using natural techniques and sustainable practices to maintain soil health and manage pests and diseases.
Based on the explanations of the different options, it is clear that the correct answer is D) organic farms.
