Organic Food                    

The word "organic" refers to a way farmers grow and process agricultural products, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products and meat. Organic farming are designed to encourage soil and water conservation and reduce pollution. Farmers who grow Organic food don`t use conventional methods to fertilize, control weeds, or prevent livestock like disease. Rather than using chemical weedkillers, organic farmers may conduct more sophisticades crop rotations and spread multch or manure to keep weeds at bay.

 More about Organic Food

 

Organic refers to the agricultural systems used to produce food and fiber. Organic farming systems do not use toxic chemical pesticides or fertilizers. Instead, they are based on the development of biological diversity and the maintenance and replenishment of soil fertility. Organic foods are minimally processed to maintain the integrity of the food without artificial ingredients, preservatives, or irradiation.

NATURAL FERTILITY

Many people buy organic food because they believe that chemicals aren´t good for their health.they are worried about the artificial chemicals which can produce  pollution.Organic farmers use natural ways to increase soil fertility.Compost is rotted down plant waste. They also grow quick-growing plants such as clover, alfalfa and mustard on their fields.
TAKING TURNSOrganic farmers often use crop rotation to keep their soil healthy. This means varying which plants they grow on each section of their land. This help to keep the soil fertile, as some crops, such as beans, help add nutrients to the soil.it also make sure insects and others pests attracted to the crop.For example, they grow potatoes on a fields one year, onions and carrots the next, then beans and peas, and finally cabbages.

Identifying Organic Food

Organic food usually contains only organic ingredients. If non-organic ingredients are present, at least a certain percentage of the food's total plant and animal ingredients must be organic (95% in the United States, Canada and Australia) and any non-organically produced ingredients are subject to various agricultural requirements.

I think that this topic is very interesting because it can help people to know and be more careful about what they usually eat like fast food which is very dangerous. Instead, they would learn that they have another option to maintain their body healthier.

I think that one of the main reasons people should consider eating organic food is to avoid consuming fruits or vegetables that are sprayed with harmful pesticides to reduce several diseases especially in children.
