Organic food does not contain pesticides or chemicals and is therefore chemical-free. This means that organic food is often free of pesticides and fertilizers.

Organic produce contains more nutrients and is healthier than conventionally manufactured foods, as it does not contain any harmful additives.

These guidelines address soil preparation, crop rotations, pest control, water conservation, harvesting, and other practices.

Organic farming methods also benefit wildlife and natural environments.
