Conclusion: In closing, I am fully convinced that__________________. Structure In my opinion, organic farming is preferable to chemical farming because it’s beneficial to both people’s health and the environment, and favorable to sustainable development of agriculture. To begin with, chemical farming harms the environment. For instance, the chemicals tend to accumulate in the soil and water, and are absorbed in the food chain, where they poison wildlife and domestic animals.What’ s more, there is no doubt that the chemicals staying inside the crops can cause us health problems or give us diseases such us cancer. Finally, organic produce simply uses natural fertilizers, making vegetables and fruit tasty and nutritious. In summary, I’m convinced that organic food will be more and more popular. Although the price is a little higher, but the small price we pay extra will bring us huge rewards in the future.
