Why pesticides are harmful to the environment.

The method of "natural farming" is very expensive and difficult to do with large fields of crops.  You cannot afford to change to the environmentally safe method of farming.

Come up with a plan that would offer financial support (rewards) to farmers who change over to the new methods.
