Organic Farming and Free-Range Meat
Organic farming means that no harmful pesticides or fertilisers were used on the crop or soil, and it involves the rotation of crops so that soils do not become depleted or exhausted. Organic or free-range meat comes from animals that ate more healthy feed and were not treated with potentially dangerous hormones or other chemicals. There is some argument about whether organic fruits and vegetables contain a higher mineral and vitamin content than conventional foods. Nevertheless, you are sure to get foods free from chemicals and pesticides if you buy organic produce. Look for Certified Organic to make sure you get the best quality.
Eating organically helps support the balance of nature, the environment and the growers involved who are committed to protecting our natural landscape. Buying local, organic foods also ensures that you get fruits and vegetables that are in season. Supermarkets are now supplying more organic foods, which makes it easier for the consumer.
The more we buy organic foods and raise the demand, the lower prices will become. However, if you find organic food too expensive or hard to find, don’t give up altogether on eating fresh produce. It is important that you get your five to six servings of fresh fruits and vegetables daily.
All fruits and vegetables should be washed before consuming, not least because of dirt and bacteria which the produce comes in contact with during handling and storage. In organic farming, no pesticides or chemical sprays are used, but it is still advisable to wash organic fruits and vegetables thoroughly.
