Organic farming doesn't have to be difficult. There are many safe ways to grow them.

Many people refer to organic agriculture as sustainable agriculture. This is because organic farming uses less resources than conventional methods but provides enough nutrients for life to last.

Organic farming practices include crop rotation, composting manure, cover cropping, and intercropping. These techniques help prevent soil erosion and improve water quality.

They reduce the amount of chemical runoff that can enter waterways. Because most people live in urban areas, it is easy to find farms that grow organic produce.

Certified organic products may bear the USDA seal or the symbol O Seal, which indicates that the product meets federal requirements.

Why should I buy organic?

Conventional agriculture has been linked with many health problems including asthma, allergies. When buying food, you must make wise choices.

Here are some tips from the Environmental Working Group (EWG).

Always purchase organic fruits, vegetables and other products whenever possible.

USDA organic labels can be found on meat, poultry (eggs, eggs), milk, cheese and yogurt as well.

Avoid processed foods that are labeled "natural" or "no added ingredients."

Carefully review ingredient lists. If an ingredient isn't listed, it may be added during processing.

It is better to eat fresh meats than canned or frozen. Cans and frozen foods are often less nutritious than fresh meats, such as high fructose corn syrup.

Is organic food better for us?

According to the Environmental Working Group’s latest report on pesticide residues, organic fruits/vegetables had nearly half as many pesticides than non-organic. 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. A study concluded that children who ate organic meat had 33% lower levels of blood lead than those who didn’t. 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. However, to reduce your risk of cancer and other diseases, experts recommend choosing fresh fruit and vegetables whenever possible.

How To

5 Reasons Why You Should Buy Organic Products

Organic foods are organically grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. They don't contain any genetically modified organisms or irradiated foods. Their production processes do not include sewage or industrial solvents. During its growing cycle, the food's natural environment will be protected from contamination. It is completely free from artificial preservatives, additives, and other harmful chemicals. There are no hormones and antibiotics used. They are also made in conditions that maintain their nutritional value and freshness for longer times.

1. Health benefits. Organic produce contains fewer chemicals than nonorganic produce. This means it's less likely to cause allergies and sensitivities. This also means that you are consuming less toxins and carcinogens.
2. Eco-friendliness. Organic produce is low in water consumption. Organic farms are typically located far away form areas of high pollution and where conventional growth is difficult because it requires so much effort. This helps to reduce the amount of air pollution.
3. Sustainability. Organic farming relies on soil fertility rather than chemical fertilizers; this results in healthier soils with higher levels of organic matter. The rotation of crops and the letting of land fallow can improve soil health. Strong immune systems are developed when farm animals only eat grasses and grains that have not been treated with hormones or antibiotics.
4. Taste. Traditional fruits and vegetables are often bland due to the fact that they are picked at peak ripeness and shipped long distances for grocery stores. Organic produce tastes richer and sweeter because it was harvested while still unripe.
5. Nutrition. Many conventional processed foods contain harmful substances like BPA and GMOs. You can avoid them by sticking with whole foods such meat, fish, eggs, seafood, seeds and beans, as well as fruits, veggies, herbs, and vegetables.
