Bill: Organic Agriculture Act of 3303
Details
Submitted by[?]: La gauche verte
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: October 3303
Description[?]:
| Large farms might make some economical sense. Nevertheless, in the interest of supplying Rildanorians (and the world!) with healthy produce, the use of chemical pesticides, herbicides and fungicides have to be banned. It might be difficult for large-scale farms to do this as they are responsible for massive amounts of plants and areas of land. This is why there is also the need to regulate farm sizes so that micro-management is both possible and preferable. |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
