Hydroponics are Calling Themselves Certified Organic When NO Soil

Dave Chapman, Organic Farmer, Owner Long Wind Farm in Vermont explains why hydroponics should NEVER be allowed to claim a USDA Certified Organic label. The foundation of organic farming is the soil. Microbial activity produces nutrients and activity that could never be replicated in water. Consumers and farmers are being ripped off.

    Organic is all a rip off anyway; Who the heck can afford the prices?
    It is a joke either one; conventional and organic.
    Now Sustainable Permaculture is the solution.
    Organic does not address all the issues related to food production; is just a Band- Aid.
    On one hand, USDA is Monsanto's poster child and in the other, they pretend to be all for organic. Can't serve to masters.
    Who in the world calls coconut oil organic? When was the last time you seen anyone spraying a 30 foot tall coconut tree?
