What is organic food?
Organic produce can be grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. No growth hormones are used. Animal testing is also not done. These crops can be grown naturally by farmers, and they don't need to be treated with chemicals to control pests or weeds.

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.
