Organic farming is much more friendly to the environment an dit produces food which is much better for us. Compare the advantages of going organic:


Commercial Food

· Grows with synthetic chemical fertilizers which do not provide a full range of minerals
· Sprays with chemical pesticides, herbicides and fungicides harming both man and earth
· Grows & uses genetically modified substances
· Uses growth hormones in animals
· Adds artificial coloring and preservatives
· Uses antibiotics often in animal farming


Organic Food

· Tastes better – grown in higher quality soils
· Reduces health risks from chemicals to farm workers, water supplies and consumer
· Contains more nutrients (up to 90% more*)
· Encourages biodiversity by eliminating the poisoning of beneficial birds, insects, animals, and plants
· Builds healthy soils, reducing erosion which kills fish in streams and rivers.
