What is Organic Pesticide
When people’s health becomes vulnerable due to external factors such as the outbreak of unknown diseases and climate change, social trends are skeptical of food consumption in order to maintain health.
Pesticides
Inevitably, terms related to “pesticide” have become one of the hot topics when talking about food production. Therefore, a correct understanding of pesticides is also very important to us. Because we should understand what we are feeding, right?
In fact, pesticide is not a harmful substance originally. It acts a protection to prevent growing crops from eating worms and veggie infections. It just similar as the antibody in our body to fight against diseases. Without this element that veggies are likely unable to grow successfully after all.
In worsen case where 
producers could not supply sufficient crops to the market and leading the spike of price of vegetables. In this case, adequate usage of pesticide results in 
healthy veggies with substantial quantity while not harming human’s health.
Toxic Pesticide
However, the definition of adequate usage means that with the right substances and volume. The reason that leads pesticide to be harmful is mainly because of overdose usage, 
unpleasant elements to boost productions within a short period of time or just other cost saving purposes.
While there is no limit and unethical usage, these overused of toxic pesticide will eventually remain for years in the particularly land and even spread to a wider scale where harvesting crops will end up contain these toxic substances so called pesticide residue.
Unfortunately, the potential result of eating these foods is to greatly weaken the body’s immune system. For example, it causes long-term cancer, allergies, asthma, Parkinson’s disease and depression.
This particularly vital to the pregnant mothers as it would cause a ‘special condition’ of newborn. Not to mention that the pesticide residue that ends up infecting the other crops and the overall vegetables supply chain.
Based on these facts, it is reasonable for the public to have a negative perception towards the use of pesticide. And also a factor that trigger the price of ‘organic vegetables’ getting expensive.
