981.For instance, they may grow corn or wheat in a field one year, and then grow beans there the next.

例如，他们可能一年在田里种植玉米或小麦，第二年改种豆类。

982.Why different crops are grown is because they put important minerals back into the ground, making it ready for the next batch of crops.

种植不同作物的原因，是为了把重要的矿物质重新放回土壤之中，让土壤为下一批作物(的种植)做好准备。

983.Organic farmers also plant diverse crops that use different depths of soil to help keep it rich.

有机耕作的农民也种植土壤深度要求不同的多样化作物，以保持土壤肥沃。

984.For example, peanuts grow on the ground’s surface, but many other vegetables put down deep roots.

例如，花生长在土壤表层，而许多其他蔬菜则扎根于土壤深处。

985.The goal of using different organic farming methods is to grow good food while avoiding damage to the environment or to people’s health.

986.Some people would prefer to stop the use of man-made chemicals in agriculture entirely.

有些人宁愿在农业中彻底停止使用人工化学品。

987.What keeps them from doing so is the fact that chemical farming serves the high demand for food around the world.

他们不能如愿的原因是化学耕作满足了全世界对食物的高需求。

988.Organic farming is nowhere near able to meet that need.

(而)有机耕作还远远不能满足这一需求。

989.Therefore, there is still a long way to find a suitable solution that puts sufficient food on the dinner table while keeping people and the environment as healthy as possible.

因此，想要找到一个合适的解决方案，使人类和环境尽可能保持健康，又让人们有足够的食物可吃，这还有很长的路要走。
