BBC环球慢速英语 第437期:有机巧克力(2)

voice 2: Chocolate is made from cocoa beans. Farmers spend many hours looking after and harvesting their crop of beans. Many farmers use chemical fertilizers to help their crops grow. They use other chemicals to kill the insect pests that attack the plants. But some farmers in Venezuela are choosing another way to farm cocoa beans. They are going back to traditional methods. They are growing their beans without using chemicals. This makes the job much harder for them. It is a risky business. The farmers have to spend a lot more time looking after their crops. They have to protect them from disease and insect pests. But these farmers believe that this natural way of farming is best. It is called organic farming. Today we look at the organic farming of chocolate and ask - why is organic farming becoming so popular?
声音2：巧克力是用恒星豆制成的。农民要花费许多时间来照顾并收获豆类作物。许多农民使用化学肥料来帮助作物生长。他们还会用其他化学物质杀死攻击作物的害虫。但是委内瑞拉的一些农民选择了另一种方法来种植恒星豆。他们回归了传统方法。他们在种植恒星豆时并没有使用化学物质。这使他们的工作变得更加艰难。这是冒险的行为。农民们必须花费更多时间来照看他们的作物。他们必须保护这些作物不受疾病和害虫的威胁。但是这些农民相信，这种自然的耕种方式是最佳选择。这被称为有机耕作。今天我们就聚焦巧克力的有机耕作，并询问：为什么有机耕作变得如此受欢迎？
