- Health benefits. Nonorganic produce is more chemically-laden than organic. This means that it is less likely to cause allergies. This means you're also consuming less toxic and carcinogens.
- Eco-friendliness. Produce grown without pesticides and synthetic fertilizer requires very little water. Organic farms are often located far from areas with high levels of pollution because it takes so much energy for conventional agriculture to grow. This helps reduce pollution.
- Sustainability. Organic farming relies on soil fertility, rather than chemical fertilisers. This results in healthier soils and higher levels organic matter. It is better for soil health to rotate crops and allow the land to fallow regularly. Farm animals develop strong immune systems when they eat only grasses/grains raised without adding hormones or antibiotics.
- Taste. Conventional fruits and vegetables often taste bland because they're picked at peak ripeness, then shipped long distances to grocery stores. Organic produce tastes sweeter and more rich because it was picked when it was still young.
- Nutrition. GMOs and BPA can be found in many processed foods. 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.
