2. Eco-friendliness. Organic produce is low in water consumption. Organic farms are located far from cities where there is a lot of pollution, because they require so much energy to grow. This helps to reduce air pollution.
3. Sustainability. Organic farming is based on soil fertility and not chemical fertilizers. This results in soils that are healthier and have higher levels of organic matter. Soil health improves when farmers rotate crops and leave land fallow periodically. Farm animals develop strong immune systems when they eat only grasses/grains raised without adding hormones or antibiotics.
4. Taste. Because they are picked at their peak ripeness and then shipped long distances to supermarkets, conventional fruits and vegetables can often taste bland. Organic produce is more rich and sweetened because it was harvested when it was still unripe.
5. Nutrition. GMOs, BPA, and other harmful chemicals are often found in conventional processed foods. Stick to whole foods, including meat, eggs fish, nuts seeds, beans and fruit.
