Rodale Institute: Organic Methods Proven Superior

The Rodale Institute’s Farming Systems Trial (FST) has been tracking the performance of organically grown grain crops and conventional, chemical-reliant grain crops for the past 30 years. As America’s longest-running side-by-side comparison of these farming systems, the FST has revealed that crops grown organically are truly healthier and hardier in the long run, and better able to cope with weather extremes.
