Nowadays trend of organic is running, but do you ever given a thought, why people are using organic produces steadily. Here we will let you know why. Organic grown food may not look bright & large in size than other varieties in which chemicals are used not only in the process of growing. In ordinary farming, many pesticides and chemical fertilizers that are not good for human health and nature as well. But organic produces are more expensive because the crop yields are not as high as with organic farming methods. Other reason behind its higher rates is, it is more labor intensive, require more labors and live stocks attentive.

However, it has so many benefits, have a look:

Health Benefits

The first and foremost is the health benefit of organically grown produce – not only is the food more nutrient rich but it is also free of chemicals, additives, and hormones, and other substances that could be toxic to health and wellbeing.

Less Disease

Organic farming can help to lower diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and many cancers. The lower rate of diseases, disorders and cancers in many unindustrialized societies is evidence of this fact.

Better Taste

Organic food tastes better, free as it is from chemicals. Research has shown that organically grown food is better nourished, which is why it tastes better as well.

Lower Impact on Soil

The impact of organic farming on the soil and local communities is far less inimical than mainstream farming methods. The chemical fertilizers and pesticides that are routinely used for farming permanently poison the soil even for future crops.

Healthier Eco System

Take for instance the unchecked use of antibiotics in rearing cattle for meat or leather, and its impacts in underdeveloped and developing countries. When carcasses of slaughtered animals are fed upon as carrion by birds and other scavengers, the scavengers are poisoned by the large quantities of antibiotics (in this case diclofenac) present in the organs of the dead animal. This has impacted parts of the food chain and pushed vultures into near extinction.

Cost Effective in the Long Run

Though organic farming produces smaller yields per hectare of cultivated area, it is cost effective in other ways: the costs of purchasing, spraying or otherwise using pesticides, chemical fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides can be very considerable; this cost is eliminated in organic farming.

Quite simply, organic farming is a group of practices that helps us consume food the way that it was meant to be consumed. It is health friendly, it is earth friendly; both excellent reasons to go organic… if you haven’t already done so!
