How Pesticides poison the man?
Health Impact of Pesticides acute
All pesticides have potential hazards for health. There are two types
virulence, the virulence and direct the long term.
Toxication occurs when acute effects of pesticides poisoned felt directly
at the time.
Toxication occurs when chronic effects on health need virulence
time to appear or develop. Effects long term this may appear
after many months or even many years after exposure of pesticides.
Some of the acute health effects is:
Headache
Dizziness
Chest pain scabies
Nausea
Vomiting
Pain muscle cramp excessive perspiration
Diarrhea Difficult breathing
Blurred view of

How Pesticides poison the man?
Through the skin
This can occur when exposed to pesticides in the clothing or directly on the
skin. When farmers plant the new holding in spray course, when the pesticide
exposed on the skin or clothing, when the farmers mix pesticides without a glove
hands, or when family members to wash clothes that have been exposed to pesticides.
For farmers or field workers, it poisoned the most frequent
is through the skin.
Through respiratory
This most often occurred in farmers who spray pesticides or to the
people who have near spraying. Please note that some of the
toxic pesticide that does not smell.
Through the mouth
This occurs when someone deliberately drink pesticides or not,
when someone eating or drinking water that has been tercemar, or when to eat
with the hands without first washing their hands after dealing with the
pesticides.

What is Organic Food?
What is Organic Food?
Mr. theoretical organic Dr.Henry Chang, states that "organic food" means that all agricultural products that are free from chemical fertilizers, chemicals or additional material since the beginning, that is entirely natural. Some examples of ways of farming including the traditional fallow land, using natural fertilizer or soil that is fertile, or worms to enter in land for land menggemburkan mining activities through the natural orifice. This has caused land dioksidasikan, so minimize the pollution of land, air, water and land in the area. Although fertilizer-chemical fertilizer can help the growth, increasing land productivity and provide better results, but results are only considered beautiful without much benefit. Products of agricultural chemicals, and may contain a lot of water that affect the original sense of vegetable or quality of food plants that.
Organic animal husbandry are also starting with the delivery of organic food. Food-the food is free from growth hormones, and livestock also need not be injected with the hormone to another. For example, if a cow of the susu diternak organic pasture, the milk and meat produced are also classified as organic products. Anyone who ever ate chicken "village" of course, argued that the chicken meat is more tasty than the chicken that came from a commercial farm.
Therefore, Chang Dr.Henry sure that people can reach the age of 100 years, but most people can not be long-lived because their food contains too many chemicals. This affects functions of their immune system, thus causing high blood pressure, blood cancer (leukimia) and diseases of the present other. Basically, many countries in the world has agreed to go to the coin a "organic earth." If organic food became popular in the world, so that can change the eating habits and we drink, the ideal goal "healthy living", the length of the age not only dreams.
Benefits of several types of organic food for health:
* Avocado: either to maintain growth and health of cells.
* Bawang putih: antikolesterol and penuaan early.
* Onion: to assist the prevention of stomach cancer.
* Spinach: good for brain health and vision health.
* Berry fruit: prevent infection in prostat and ureter.
* Broccoli: helping the body dispose of the materials are karsinogen.
* Kol: useful for the prevention of bowel cancer, stomach and breast
* Tomato: cancer prevention to help the womb, pancreas and intestine.
* Carrot: penuaan prevent early.
Benefits of organic food
* Working to clean the blood.
* Remove the poisons accumulate in the cells.
* Helps cell regeneration, new cells.
* Maintain a balance between acid basa without medicines, vitamins or supplements additional.
The advantages of organic food
* Having a proactive nutrition better. Organic food have on average the actual vitamin C, minerals, and phytonutrients (plant material in which you can fight cancer) is higher rather than conventional food.
* Organic food more durable and not easy casserole.
* Reduce the production process and reduce the level of environmental damage.
Danger of non-organic food
a. Elements and the effects of pesticides in food:
* Cause interference awareness (Cognitive dysfunction) as difficult to spell, read, write, distinguish colors, including talking.
* Increase the risk of disruption to the physical brain.
* One of the causes of breast cancer.
* Berpotensi cause problems on the production of sperm.
b. The threat of pesticides for manusiaan.
* Threaten the next generation. Children potentially exposed to more pesticides than adults.
* Pollution of water to land.
* Wasteful of energy, lots of energy needed to produce chemical fertilizers than to cultivate and harvest crops.
Tips mengonsumsi Organic food
* Choose vegetables, fruits, or meat that has meiliki label that clearly and formally.
* Wash vegetables or fruit with the organic flow of water (tap) a few times, to avoid vegetables from the worm eggs.
* Rebuslah vegetables with temperatures hot enough. So that it can kill bacteria or eggs attached. (Various sources) ***(http://www.sehat-dengan-organik.blogspot.com/2009/01/manfaat-sayuran-organik.html)

Prospect Organic Agriculture in Indonesia
Prospect Organic Agriculture in Indonesia
enter the 21st century, people began to realize the danger caused by use of synthetic chemicals in agriculture. People are wise in choosing food for health in a safe and friendly environment. Healthy lifestyles with the slogan Back to Nature has been a new trend to leave the old pattern of life using non-natural chemicals, such as fertilizers, chemical pesticides and synthetic hormones in the growth of agricultural production. Food is healthy and nutritious can be produced with high new method, known as organic agriculture.
Organic agriculture is the cultivation of agricultural techniques which rely on materials, natural materials, without using synthetic chemicals. The main purpose of organic agriculture is to provide agricultural products, especially food safety for the health of producers and consumers and does not damage the environment. Healthy lifestyle has been so melembaga internationally requires a guarantee that agricultural products should be consumed beratribut safe (food safety attributes), the actual high-nutrition (nutritional attributes) and environmentally friendly (eco-labelling attributes). Consumer preferences, such as this cause demand world of organic agriculture products increased rapidly.
Indonesia has a wealth of tropical biodiversity is unique, plenty sunlight, water and land, culture and society that respects nature, the potential for organic agriculture is very big. Organic agricultural products market of the world increased by 20% per year, therefore the development of organic cultivation of agricultural crops in priority need high economic value to meet the needs of the domestic market and export.
Opportunities for Organic Agriculture in Indonesia
Area of land available for organic agriculture in Indonesia is very big. From 75.5 million ha of land that can be used for agricultural businesses, new about 25.7 million ha of rice fields have been cultivated for crops and (BPS, 2000). Organic agriculture requires that land not used or not by tercemar chemicals and have good accessibility. Quality and area into consideration in the selection of land. Land that is not tercemar land that has not grown, but are generally less fertile land so. Generally fertile land that has grown with the intensive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Land use such as this requires a long enough period of conversion, which is about 2 years.
Volume of organic agricultural products to reach 5-7% of total agricultural products sold in international markets. Most disuplay by developed countries such as Australia, America and Europe. In Asia, organic agricultural products market is dominated by many countries far east as Japan, Taiwan and Korea.
Market potential of organic agricultural products in the country is very small, only limited to the middle to the top. Various obstacles faced by, among others: 1) there is no adequate price incentives for producers of organic agricultural products, 2) need expensive investment in the early development of the land must select a truly sterile material of Agrochemicals, 3) there is no certainty of the market, so that farmers are reluctant to produce these commodities.
Planting area of organic agriculture, Australia, and Oceania have terluas land that is approximately 7.7 million ha. Europe, Latin America and North America each approximately 4.2 million, 3.7 million and 1.3 million hectares. Planting area of organic agricultural commodities in Asia and Africa are still relatively low at around 0.09 million and 0.06 million hectares (Table 1). Vegetables, coffee and tea dominate the market of agricultural products in addition to the international organic farm products.

Indonesia has the potential big enough to compete in the international market even if gradually. This is because the various comparative advantages include: 1) there are many resources that can be opened land to develop a system of organic agriculture, 2) technology to support organic agriculture is enough available such as making compost, planting it with land, biological pesticides, and others.
Further development of organic agriculture in Indonesia should be addressed to meet global market demand. Thus commodities-commodities such as vegetables and exotic crops such as coffee and tea that have the potential to export should be bright enough to be developed. Products such as coffee, Indonesia is the second largest exporter after Brazil, but the international coffee market in India does not have a trademark.
Development of organic agriculture in Indonesia has not need a new institutional structure, because this system is almost as well as intensive agriculture, such as at this time. Institutional farmers as farmers' groups, cooperatives, associations or corporations are still very relevant. However, the most important agricultural institutions need to be able to strengthen the bargaining position of farmers.
Modern Organic Agriculture
The last few years, organic agriculture, modern agriculture system in the entrance of Indonesia and sporadic small-scale. Developing modern organic agriculture produces food in a safe system for the health and environment-friendly production. But in general the concept of modern organic agriculture has not been much known and much is. While the emphasis is more to leave the synthetic pesticides. With the development of knowledge and technology, health, environment, microbiology, chemistry, molecular biology, biochemistry and others, continue to develop organic agriculture.
In modern organic farming system required standards of quality and this is applied by importer countries with very strict. Frequently one of organic agricultural products must be returned to the country, including exporter to Indonesia because the uterus is found residues of pesticides and other chemicals.
The many products that claim a product as organic agriculture that are not certified to create doubt in the consumers. Certification of organic agricultural products can be divided into two criteria, namely:
a) Certification for Local market in the country. Agriculture is still tolerate the use of synthetic chemical fertilizers in the amount of the minimum or Low External Input Sustainable Agriculture (LEISA), but have very limited the use of synthetic pesticides. Control by using the opt biopestisida, tolerant varieties, biological and agensia. Team to formulate a national certification has been established by the Ministry of Agriculture, with the involvement of universities and other parties associated.
b) Certification for the export and certain circles in the country, such as a certification issued by IFOAM and SKAL. Some of the requirements that must be met, among others, the conversion of land, storage of organic products, seeds, fertilizers and pesticides as well as processing the results must meet specific requirements for organic agricultural products.
Some prospective commodities that can be developed with the system of organic agriculture in Indonesia, among other food crops, horticulture, plantation, spices and medicinal plants, and livestock, (Table 2). Facing the era of free trade by 2010 expected future organic agriculture Indonesia can export products to international markets.

INTRODUCTION
Super compost is a decomposition of organic materials or process
recast the complex compound into the compound with the simple
assistance microorganisms.
Basis of making the compost material is cow dung and sawdust are
didekomposisi with pemacu of microorganisms in the soil (for example: stardec
or similar material) with the added materials to enrich the womb
super compost, such as: sawdust, ashes and kalsit / chalk.
Cow dung was selected because in addition to many available dipetani also have
womb nitrogen and potasium. Cow dung is the feces of both animals
for compost.
The principle used in making the compost process is super
conversion of organic waste into organic fertilizer through biological activity in the
controlled conditions.
PROCESS DEVELOPMENT compost SUPER
1. Materials needed:
• cow dung: 80-83%
• saw powder: 5%
• Materials pemacu microorganisms: 0.25%
• Abu husk: 10% n
• Kalsit / Lime: 2%
May use the materials provided that the other cow dung at least 40%, sewage
maximum of 25% chicken
2. Place
Sebidang be the soil, so fertilizer ternaungi not exposed to sunlight
and rain water directly.
3. Prosesing
- Cow dung (faeses and urine) taken from the cage and drained for one
weeks to get the water level reaches ± 60%.
- Cow dung that has been drained is then moved to the location,
the making of compost and given super sawdust, ashes, kalsit / lime and
stardec appropriate dose and stirred all the ingredients are mixed evenly.
- After. A week on site I, moved to the stack location 2 with a
stirred / behind evenly to add oxygen and increase the supply
homogenitas material. At this stage, is expected to occur until the temperature increase
70 ° C to kill the growth of seeds of weeds so that the super compost
can be produced free of weeds from seed.
- Week inversion to be done and then moved to a location on the 3
and left for one week.
- After one week on location and then to 3 for the inversion is done
to bring in 4 locations. At this place was super mature compost with
color fertilizer Texturized blackish brown crumb and not smelly.
- The fertilizer diayak / filtered to obtain a uniform and
dare to separate materials that are not expected (eg, stone, lumber,
rafia) so that the super compost produced really high quality.
- The organic compost fertilizer super ready packed and ready to apply
land-quality organic fertilizer as a substitute for chemical fertilizers.

INTRODUCTION
Super compost is a decomposition of organic materials or process
recast the complex compound into the compound with the simple
assistance microorganisms.
Basis of making the compost material is cow dung and sawdust are
didekomposisi with pemacu of microorganisms in the soil (for example: stardec
or similar material) with the added materials to enrich the womb
super compost, such as: sawdust, ashes and kalsit / chalk.
Cow dung was selected because in addition to many available dipetani also have
womb nitrogen and potasium. Cow dung is the feces of both animals
for compost.
The principle used in making the compost process is super
conversion of organic waste into organic fertilizer through biological activity in the
controlled conditions.
PROCESS DEVELOPMENT compost SUPER
1. Materials needed:
• cow dung: 80-83%
• saw powder: 5%
• Materials pemacu microorganisms: 0.25%
• Abu husk: 10% n
• Kalsit / Lime: 2%
May use the materials provided that the other cow dung at least 40%, sewage
maximum of 25% chicken
2. Place
Sebidang be the soil, so fertilizer ternaungi not exposed to sunlight
and rain water directly.
3. Prosesing
- Cow dung (faeses and urine) taken from the cage and drained for one
weeks to get the water level reaches ± 60%.
- Cow dung that has been drained is then moved to the location,
the making of compost and given super sawdust, ashes, kalsit / lime and
stardec appropriate dose and stirred all the ingredients are mixed evenly.
- After. A week on site I, moved to the stack location 2 with a
stirred / behind evenly to add oxygen and increase the supply
homogenitas material. At this stage, is expected to occur until the temperature increase
70 ° C to kill the growth of seeds of weeds so that the super compost
can be produced free of weeds from seed.
- Week inversion to be done and then moved to a location on the 3
and left for one week.
- After one week on location and then to 3 for the inversion is done
to bring in 4 locations. At this place was super mature compost with
color fertilizer Texturized blackish brown crumb and not smelly.
- The fertilizer diayak / filtered to obtain a uniform and
dare to separate materials that are not expected (eg, stone, lumber,
rafia) so that the super compost produced really high quality.
- The organic compost fertilizer super ready packed and ready to apply
land-quality organic fertilizer as a substitute for chemical fertilizers.

Make Natural Pesticides
Make Natural Pesticides
Pesticides are substances control pests (such as worm, wereng and kepik). Organic pesticides: pest control is made with toxic substances from utilizing gadung and tobacco. Because the material is easily obtained by the farmers, the organic pesticide can be made by farmers so that the cost of production and familiar with the environment.
Materials and Equipment:
2 kg gadung.
1 kg of tobacco.
2 oz paste.
¼ kg jaringao (dringo).
4 liters of water.
1 tablespoon coconut oil.
Grated coconut.
Filter coconut (thin cloth).
Plastic bucket.
Plastic trays.
Making ways:
Coconut oil be smeared on the skin of the hands and feet (as a shield from the sap gadung).
Gadung skin peeled and shredded.
Tobacco can also digodok or soaked with 3 liters of hot water
Jaringao be mashed then soaked with hot water ½ liter
Tobacco, jaringao, paste, and soaked separately for 24 hours. Then filtering is done one by one and made a vessel so that the results perasan ingredients into 5 liters of solution.
Dosage:
1 cup mixed solvent 5-10 liters of water.
2 cup mixed solvents 10-14 liters of water.
Purposes:
Population can press the attack of pests and diseases.
Can reject the pests and diseases.
May invite additional food natural enemies.
Target:
Wereng stem brown, stone spear, grayak worm, white worm pests false.
Note: Although this herb more familiar environment, their use must consider the threshold limit pest populations. This herb is used only after the pest is polulasi or above the threshold control. The use of under and over-limit threshold is feared akan kill natural enemies of pests concerned.

Organic food tastes bad in a recession, just ask Whole Foods
Organic food tastes bad in a recession, just ask Whole Foods
There is no hard evidence that organic food is any better for people than beer and burgers. There are some studies that show all the good side effects of eating well, but they were probably paid for by companies that produce milk straight from cows or wild salmon.
It does not matter much if the entire organic thing is a hoax, when people don't have money to buy fancy food, they are going to have to settle for Spam and Cheese Wiz, whether they like it or not.
One company that will be hurt by the eating retrenchment is Whole Foods (NASDAQ: WFMI), a favorite of the upper middle class who wants to look down their noses at people who go to regular grocery stores. According to The Wall Street Journal, "Analysts say the upscale grocer probably will have to trim its earnings forecast for the current fiscal year and announce further cuts to capital spending or new-store plans."
The real question is how long it will take WFMI to recover from any downturn. Its customers may decide that they like cheap, fatty food and never return. Whole Foods has watched its shares go from a 52-week high of $51 to $10. Those stock certificates may become so worthless that people will have to eat them as part of a healthy meal. At least they will cost less than the Whole Foods produce.

Cheap Green: Organic Pumpkins?
aBy Kate Galbraith
Cheap Green
Halloween is not an especially green holiday. Children raid stores for elaborate outfits and plastic masks, and they return from trick-or-treating with pails full of Snickers and Kit-Kat bars.
It does not have to be that way, of course. In my (admittedly unoriginal) family, a simple sheet for ghosts usually did the trick. As for treats, some neighbors doled out cookies, nuts and other healthy, inexpensive, home-baked goodies. Sadly, my mother — like millions of others fearful of poisons and razor blades and other stranger dangers — forbade us from eating anything not packaged.
Kids being kids, we preferred candy to home cooking anyway.
One ever-more popular way to green up Halloween is to focus on the pumpkin. It’s at the heart of the holiday, after all — whether perched on the front porch or consumed as pumpkin pie, pumpkin seeds, or even pumpkin beer. (I recently bought this Vermont brew, and it’s perfectly tasty.)
And while by no means everywhere, pumpkins are increasingly available as organics.
Organic produce, meat and dairy products, on the whole, are less energy-intensive to produce. But they also tend to be far more expensive than their mass-produced counterparts — for a variety of reasons, including more labor-intensive weeding and crop maintenance (no pesticides allowed); higher risks of crop loss; and more expensive fertilizers.
So while an organic pumpkin may seem like a good green idea, the first question to ask is — do you really need one? Given that many people buy organic food in the belief that it is healthier to eat (though the jury is still out on that one), does it make sense to pay a premium for something you’re only going to carve up and put on display?
To some people it apparently does.
“It I guess goes to show the merits of certain people’s love and faith in organics,” said Mike Valpredo, a business-development officer at Donald Valpredo Farms, which is based in California. The company began growing and selling organic pumpkins — both for cooking and for Jack-O-Lanterns — when one of its principal clients, Whole Foods, requested it last year.
Nonetheless, the costs of growing organically makes it an expensive proposition even for Valpredo Farms. “We’re not getting rich off organic pumpkins,” Mr. Valpredo said.
Still, for those seeking to go organic in their pursuit of a pumpkin, the usual tricks apply — namely, shop around, and if you can find a way to defray the high labor costs that make organic food so expensive, that should help.
Pick-your-own farms, for instance, are fun and sometimes cheaper, though increasingly hard to find due to the cost of liability insurance. If you do find one (the Santa Rosa Press-Democrat has a local listing of sites, as might newspapers in other municipalities), don’t forget about the price of gas to get there.
At my food co-op in Brooklyn, New York, members are required to work for a few hours a month, no exceptions.
I stack produce at 6 a.m. some Tuesdays. I’d rather be sleeping, but it does mean that food is cheap — I can get organic pumpkins, for example, for $1.07 a pound, versus $1.49 a pound in a Manhattan Whole Foods.
Pumpkin pie, here I come!

Organic farming
Organic farming is a form of agriculture that relies on crop rotation, green manure, compost, biological pest control, and mechanical cultivation to maintain soil productivity and control pests, excluding or strictly limiting the use of synthetic fertilizers and synthetic pesticides, plant growth regulators, livestock feed additives, and genetically modified organisms.[1] Since 1990 the market for organic products has grown at a rapid pace, averaging 20-25 percent per year to reach $33 billion in 2005.
This demand has driven a similar increase in organically managed farmland. Approximately 306,000 square kilometres (30.6 million hectares) worldwide are now farmed organically, representing approximately 2% of total world farmland.[2] In addition, as of 2005 organic wild products are farmed on approximately 62 million hectares (IFOAM 2007:10). Organic agricultural methods are internationally regulated and legally enforced by many nations, based in large part on the standards set by the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements, an international umbrella organization for organic organizations established in 1972. The overarching goal of organic farming is defined as follows: "Organic agriculture is a production system that sustains the health of soils, ecosystems and people. It relies on ecological processes, biodiversity and cycles adapted to local conditions, rather than the use of inputs with adverse effects. Organic agriculture combines tradition, innovation and science to benefit the shared environment and promote fair relationships and a good quality of life for all involved.."

Organic foods
Organic foods are produced according to certain production standards, meaning they are grown without the use of conventional pesticides, artificial
fertilizers, human waste, or sewage sludge, and that they were processed without ionizing radiation or food additives.[1] Livestock are reared without the routine use of antibiotics and without the use of growth hormones. In most countries, organic produce must not be genetically modified. Organic food production is legally regulated. Currently, the European Union, the United States, Canada, Japan and many other countries require producers to obtain organic certification in order to market food as organic. Historically, organic farms have been relatively small family-run farms[2] — which is why organic food was once only available in small stores or farmers' markets. However, since the early 1990s organic food production has had growth rates of around 20% a year, far ahead of the rest of the food industry, in both developed and developing nations. As of April 2008, organic food accounts for 1-2% of food sales worldwide. Future growth is expected to range from 10-50% annually depending on the country

On a morning of 9 December 1996 the workers in Malita, Davao del Sur, Philippines, try using a new type of pesticide in their cocoa plantations. Pest-pest in the region that has become resistant pesticide other types, they said. They think this is the time to try to pesticides type of new, more powerful. Twenty-three workers began to spray at 7 am, without knowing that they are dealing with the types of pesticides that nerve gas is very dangerous. One hour later, a worker unconscious. After the lapse of three hours, other workers feel nausea, vomiting, dizziness and views into blurred. Some people lose consciousness again. That eventually all workers taken to the hospital. Groups of workers began the second hose at 10 am on the day of the same, without knowing what happened to the first group of workers. In a matter of minutes, they also feel the symptoms of the same. The volunteers to come to that place to help, but they also toxication. Altogether 52 people entered the hospital because of the pesticide toxication day, 35 of them are poisoned.(Romeo Quijano dan Sarojeni V. Rengam)
