Frequently Asked Questions
Is organic food better for us?
According to the Environmental Working Group's recent report on pesticide residues within foods, organic fruits & vegetables contained nearly half of the pesticides that non-organic varieties. The Environmental Working Group found that organic apples contained eight-times less pesticides than other non-organic fruits, and organic strawberries had fourfold more than their conventional counterparts.
Another study suggests that organic food can reduce exposure to toxic metals such as lead and mercury. One study found that organic meats had 33 percent less lead in children than the levels of those who did not eat them. Another study concluded traditional fish should not be consumed by pregnant women, due to high mercury levels.
Organic food appears to be more safe than non-organic. Experts recommend eating fresh fruits and veggies whenever possible to reduce the chance of developing cancer.
Why is organic food important?
It is essential for our health to eat organic produce. It's the best method to ensure you eat healthy foods. It's better for us and more sustainable because it doesn’t depend on pesticides or fertilizers.
Organic farming uses natural methods for growing crops without using harmful chemicals. This reduces the risk of environmental pollution, which makes it safer for people and animals. By choosing organic food, you are protecting the planet as well as yourself.
The benefits of organic food go beyond our health, though. We are all well aware of how harmful processed food can make our bodies feel. But did you know that most organic fruits and vegetables aren't treated with chemical spray either? That means that they taste fresher, look brighter and last longer too.
Organic food is so important. Because it's not only healthy for you, it's healthier for the world.
What are the health benefits of organic farming
Organic farming gives farmers the opportunity to grow food without the use of chemical pesticides. Farmers don't have worry about whether harmful pesticides are affecting their crops or animals.
Organic farming can also use natural fertilizers. These fertilizers are good for plants that are healthy and reduce chemical waste.
Organic farming is also sustainable. Many farmers use composting methods to replenish soil nutrients. This reduces the risk of pollution and helps conserve precious resources.
As well as helping the environment, organic farming increases crop yields. This is because organic farming requires less water to grow the crops.
Organic production methods also mean that farmers receive higher prices for their produce. Consumers who are more aware about the dangers associated with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and other chemicals will choose healthier foods.
This raises the demand to produce organic food products. Organic farming is gaining popularity because of these reasons.

What Organic Foods Are You Looking For?

Over the past decade, organic products have seen a dramatic increase in consumption. According to recent statistics, around 50% of the world's population consumes at least one organic product daily. This percentage is increasing and will reach 70%, 80% and 90% by 2020.
Organic products are preferred for many reasons. Organic produce can be preferred for its taste; others prefer them for being healthier. Some people believe organic farming to be more environmentally friendly. But, non-organic products can be a good choice because there are ethical concerns over the treatment and welfare of farm workers.
