What are some of the benefits of organic agriculture?

Organic farming provides farmers with a way of producing food without using chemicals. Farmers do not need to worry about harmful pesticides harming their crops or animals.

Organic farming also permits for the use of natural fertilizers. These fertilizers are good for plants that are healthy and reduce chemical waste.

Organic farming is also sustainable. To recycle nutrients back into soil, farmers often resort to composting. This reduces the risk of pollution and helps conserve precious resources.

Organic farming is good for the environment and increases crop yields. This is because organic farming requires less water to grow the crops.

Organic production methods mean farmers can get higher prices. Healthier foods are demanded by consumers who are more aware of the dangers posed by pesticides and chemical fertilisers.

This drives up the demand for organic products. Organic farming is growing in popularity.

Why should I go organic?

There have been many health problems linked to conventional farming, including allergies, asthma, diabetes, obesity, cancer, birth defects and hormone imbalances. It is important to make informed choices about food purchases.

The Environmental Working Group offers these tips:

Buy organic fruits and vegetables whenever possible.

USDA organic labels are required for meat, poultry, eggs and milk.

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

Always read the ingredient lists. If an ingredient isn’t listed, it might be added during processing.

You should choose fresh meats rather than frozen or canned. Canned and frozen foods can often have lower nutritional content like high fructose syrup.

Are organic meats better?

You probably know the answer if you have been paying attention for a while. But here's the rub, organic food is becoming more popular while conventional food continues to fall out of favour.

Organic foods continue to be popular because they offer a healthier alternative. Organic foods are safer for our bodies and help to reduce pollution.

There are many sides to this coin. Organic produce takes longer to grow, and it requires more resources. Organic food can be more expensive than its nonorganic counterpart.

Organic meats are typically higher priced than conventionally raised animals. But there are ways to cut costs without sacrificing quality.

Locally grown produce is a great way to save money. Buying locally grown fruits and vegetables helps keep prices low because farmers receive incentives to grow healthy crops.

Deals are another way to cut costs. When you purchase organics, there are often discounts.

Finally, another way to save money is by eating less meat. Meat production can be costly due to the feed needed to raise livestock.

There are many reasons organic foods are better for our bodies and the environment, but we need to be mindful of the cost.

How To

What happens to the body when you switch over to organic products

Organic products are grown without pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics, or genetic manipulation. They are free-range and come from clean water sources. The term "organic", which means they don't contain additives or chemicals, refers to their non-containing any. This product was naturally produced and contains no harmful chemicals.

Natural refers to the way food was grown. It's usually used to describe foods not processed into their final form (such as fruits). Natural foods are usually fresher than processed foods, as they haven’t been exposed to heat, radiation, chemical preservatives, or other treatments. However, some people believe natural doesn't necessarily mean healthy. Experts say that there aren't many differences between organic and conventional food. Both types of food have been tested for safety and quality. But organic produce has fewer pollutants and pesticide residues than conventionally grown produce.

Most grocery stores now sell organic products. If you are looking for organic meat, poultry and eggs, check with your local grocery store. Some companies only sell organic products, while others offer separate sections. USDA Certified Organic is a non-GMO Project Verified company.

These foods should be avoided by women who are pregnant or breast-feeding. Unborn babies and infants can be exposed to pesticides.
