ORGANIC FOOD

 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.

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.

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.
