Rice is getting organic
My husband is a huge, huge fan of organic stuff from fruits and vegetables to toothpaste to skin care products. He would always be attracted if a product is labeled “Organic”. Since we eat almost anything organice, one time I told him that rice is not organic because farmers need fertilizers to boost their production. But that was just my “intelligent” observation.
Finally, today on the news I found an article to back up my claim. Farmers in the southern Philippines are resorting to organic fertilizers in the form of decomposed water lilies with other natural stuff which they discovered to be more beneficial not only to their crops but to the soil as well and on top of that it is more cost-effective than chemical fertilizers.
