Did you know that just an acre of an organic farm will remove about 7,000 pounds of carbon dioxide from the air throughout the year and sequester it within the soil? According to research from The Rodale Institute, this means that if all of the current croplands within the U.S., some 434 million acres, were converted to organic croplands, enough carbon dioxide would be removed from the air to be as if 88% of all of the automobiles in the country suddenly disappeared into thin, but clean, air. This fact alone is a pretty powerful statement about how organic farming is better for the earth, but it doesn’t stop there.

That is amazing that just converting to organic crops would clean 88% of the air!
