A short conversational excerpt from a YouTube video by Robert Whitfield MD discussing organic farming challenges, focusing on the extreme perishability of organic peaches sold at farmer’s markets (specifically peaches from Fredericksburg, Texas). The speakers note that untreated Fredericksburg peaches spoil or become moldy within days if not eaten immediately.
Can you compare maybe an organic with, say I go to the farmer's market and I get some peaches from very famous place here in Texas called Fredericksburg, where they grow peaches and they don't use anything. But, you know, if you don't eat those things almost the day you buy them.
Yeah.
They are going to be moldy and or rotten within days.
That's a huge problem. So one thing you have to think about, and this is more a economic, socioeconomical, you know, world worldwide problem. We are a growing population that has to serve as many people as possible. And the amount of farmable land is decreasing. So it is impossible to support our projected population without the use of these things.
