      Solution

      Statement II talks about increased demand for organic and chemical-free food. Statement I says that farmers are shifting to organic farming, avoiding chemical inputs. Clearly, the consumer demand (II) has likely influenced or caused the shift in farming practices (I).
      So, Statement II is the cause, and Statement I is the effect.
