Is organic fertilizer a biproduct of factory farming?!


Question: They cannot be for OMRI approved or certified organic composts because of all the drugs which it turns out do not get neutralized during the composting process.

Certified organic compost companies get their materials from municipalities and small farms and not factory farms according to the guy I buy my organic compost from who has been doing commercial compost for almost 15 years.

But considering most "organic" fertilizers are not certified organic they can use anything they want from any source they want.

no.

In most cases yes. Most commercial farms use rendered animal parts as fertilizers because it's the cheapest way to stay organic. Manure is also used, which is sold by factory farms as well.

Some is, some is not.

Of course it is. The most commonly used fertilizers are blood meal, bone meal, manure, feather meal (I think you get the picture). Of course, you could always try to locate a vegetarian or vegan organic farmer who grows what you want.

Probably

I would rather have organic waste used to enrich the soil than have it shunned and dumped into a landfill.

Would you rather use factory farm waste or spray poison all over the land until it can't produce food? The waste is going to be there until people stop supporting factory farming. Organic agriculture contributes to no additional suffering and it is better for the soil.
