The importance of eating organic

Organic farming is a production method that emphasizes the use of biological or mechanical farming techniques, as opposed to the use of synthetic chemicals:

“Organic farming is a holistic production management system that promotes agrosystem health, including biodiversity, biological cycles, and soil biological activities.

It emphasizes management practices rather than externally sourced production methods, recognizing that local systems must adapt to regional conditions.

To this end, cultural, biological and mechanical methods are used in preference to synthetic products whenever possible, to fulfill all the specific functions of the system.”

(FAO/WHO Food Codex Commission, 1999).
