Organic Farming Versus Intensive Farming

From Nelson Thornes, these activities encourage students to analyse and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of organic farming compared with intensive farming. Students are asked to use the information in an article along with their own knowledge to decide whether there is a global future for organic farming, or whether a reliance on intensive methods is needed. These biology resources are aimed at A2 level students. They are aimed at the AQA specifications but can be used with other courses.
