Avoid chemicals
Eating organically grown foods is the best way to avoid pesticide, herbicide, and fungicide ingestion.
Benefit from more nutrients
Organically grown foods are more nutrient dense and have a higher concentration of antioxidants and phytonutrients.
Avoid GMO
Organically grown food cannot be genetically modified in any way, choosing organic is the only way to be sure that foods that have been genetically engineered stay out of your diet unless labeled on the package. Genetically engineered (GE) GMO foods do not have to be labeled in America.
Preserve our ecosystems
Organic farming supports eco-sustenance, or farming in harmony with nature. Preservation of soil and crop rotation keep farmland healthy, and chemical abstinence preserves the ecosystem.
Reduce pollution and protect water and soil
Agricultural chemicals, pesticides, and fertilizers contaminate our environment. Certified organic standards do not permit the use of toxic chemicals in farming and require responsible management of healthy soil and biodiversity.
Preserve agricultural diversity
The rampant loss of species occurring today is a major environmental concern do to the persistent use of monoculture farming. It is estimated that 75% of the genetic diversity of agricultural crops has been lost in the last century
Support farming directly
Buying organic food locally directly injects money to the grower, farmer, and producer hence keeping the money in your community and the communities they represent.
