In turn, t
44、his would contribute to further climate change. Although organic farming directly pours out fewer emissions than conventional farmingaround 20 percent lower for crops and 4 percent for farm animalsit produces notably less food. As to this studys findings, total organic agriculture in England and Wal
45、es would produce 40 percent less food. With less food in the market, the countries would need to increase food imports, which would produce more global greenhouse gas emissions. Organic farming also increases the amount of absorbing carbon, a process where carbon dioxide (CO2) is “absorbed” out of t
46、he atmosphere and captured by plants and stored in the soil. However, even a total change to organic farming would only be equal to a tiny part of the higher emissions from overseas land use. “We predict a drop in total food production of 40 percent under a fully organic farming process, compared to
47、 conventional farming, if we keep to the same national diet,” Dr Adrian Williams, lead author and reader in Agri-Environmental Systems at Cranfield University, said in a statement. “This results from lower crop quantity, because output is limited by a lower supply of nitrogen, which is mainly from o
48、ther crops or solid waste from cattle on the grassland.” Nevertheless, it is important to note that organic farming still holds some useful benefits for the environment, such as reducing exposure to chemicals and improving the varieties of creatures. In conclusion, the study suggests that organic fa
49、rming will continue to play a key role in resolving the worlds environmental problems. However, its just one part of a much wider solution. 12. What will total organic agriculture bring to England? A. More main food. B. More species crop. C. More food imports. D. More fresh oxygen. 13. How does organic farming increase the amount of absorbing carbon? A. By taking in CO2 . B. By changing CO2. C.
