Advocates for organic farming claim that their methods result in a number of benefits to farmers, consumers, and the environment. Scientists now plan to study the claims that organic farming advocates make by developing testable hypotheses about the economic and environmental benefits of growing organic foods. The scientists plan to collect data from farmers and other producers. Which hypothesis should the scientists use

The hypothesis i.e. ''Organic farming reduces the cost of farming that benefits the farmers economically and also better the environment.'' This hypothesis can be tested by the scientists by taking two fields in different location having same environmental conditions. One field they apply conventional farming whereas other field apply only organic materials and no chemicals. We can see that the cost on expensive fertilizers, pesticides and weedicides can't used in organic farming so it is economically benefitted to the farmers as well as no pollution occurs which happens due to the use of chemicals. Moreover, the price of organic food is 3 times higher due to its non-hazardous nature.
