Can we farm without agro-chemicals? Food will be produced without the help of fertilizers, pesticides and other chemicals.

Is it possible?

By 2050, the world will need to find enough food to feed 10 billion people. Many farmers choose to use chemicals to keep weeds and pests from destroying their crops and to add more nutrients to the soil. There are three different kinds of pesticides, herbicides, insecticides and fungicides.
