3 Meet Laurie Sykes,

Organic Farmer

Get Ready

What does “organic” mean? Do you think organic food

is better?

e.g. “Organic” means clean food. I think organic food

is better because it doesn’t have chemicals on it.

BIG IDEA

Pesticides help increase food production. However,

some farmers try different methods because pesticides

are harmful to our health and the environment.
