Organic farming
20 important questions on Organic farming
Is there a difference in risk between normal and organic farming?
- no synthetic pesticides
- no synthetic fertilisers
- no genetically modified (GMO) ingredients
- food additives and veterinary drugs used only to a limited extent
So this is not a riks but the animals are more outside. So if the risk is related with being outside you have an increased risk.
So the risk are not necessarily lower but different.
What are the 2 main safety related topics that need to be considers with organic farming?
- zoonoses
- prions
- chemical risks
What is the risk of Salmonella enteritidis in organic farming?
- poultry
- pork
- raw milk
higher in poultry, eggs and raw milk because the animals are more outside and have more risk of being into contact with salmonella.
- poultry & eggs higher or at best similar
- pork: (cold drying procedure) similar
- raw milk: risk increased
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What is the risk of Listeria monocytogenes in organic farming?
- raw milk
- soft cheeses
- vegetables
- raw milk: risk increased upon outlet
- soft cheeses: insufficient heating: similar
- vegetables: contaminated water: similar
What is the risk of E. coli in organic farming?
Lower risk since more raw food is given to animals.
What is the risk of Clostridum in organic farming?
What is the risk of Manobacterium paratuberculosis in organic farming?
In meat and milkThis is a desease casuing:
- Infects the last part of the small intestine (ileum)

Higher risk in increased outlet.
What is the risk of Toxoplasma gondii in organic farming?
Due to high outlet animals are more at risk. They are in more contact with cats.
What is the risk of Teania saginate and Teania solium (tape worms) in organic farming?
What is the risk of prions in organic farming?
The proins cause crazy cow disease.
Bone and blood powder of animals is used as fertilizers in organic farming and therefore prions form a increased risk in organic farming.
What is the risk of patulin in apples and apple juice in organic farming?
What are the main ideas about toxins produced by fungi and organic farming?

What is the risk of heavy metals in organic farming?
What are the strong (good) aspects of organic farming in relationship to food safety?
- lower chances on exceeding limits for crop protecting agents
- lower chances on exceeding residue limits for veterinary drugs
- lower chances on pathogen resistance to antibiotics
- lower levels of nitrate
What are the weak aspects of organic farming in relationship to food safety?
- Increased chance on contamination with Salmonella & Campylobacter
- for veal: a chance on toxoplasmosis and beef tape worm
