| Bees and other pollinating insects contribute significantly to the world’s production of edible crops. Bees and bumblebees are threatened by modern agricultural practices like monocropping, destruction of natural habitats and pesticide use. Organic farming practice avoids the pesticides, but should also actively support the living conditions for pollinating insects, e.g. by maintaining flowering strips and trees. A recent ban on imidacloprid as rapeseed coating in Norway may encourage research in alternative ways of protecting rapeseed against ground flees (Phyllotreta spp.). Such studies may be beneficial also for organic rape growers. |

| This work addresses possible ways in which animal manure might become contaminated by undesirable elements and how such manure might pose a risk to the health of soil organisms, animals, plants and humans. Research has shown that the pathways of organic compounds such as veterinary medicines and pesticides may be unpredictable and that undesirable elements can be transferred to the food chain. The basic principles of organic farming, in this case specially related to the principles of health, ecology and care, imply that special attentionshould be given to precaution and responsibility. These are key concerns in the management of organic farming. Taking these principles seriously, would mean a more restrictive practice on the use of animal manure from... |
