The term
organic is now widely used to describe the products
of agriculture that use no pesticides or synthetic fertilisers.
Organic methods consider the whole eco system and use
natural techniques to assist plant growth, repel pests
and protect and encourage wildlife habitats. Organic
agriculture aims to maintain and increase soil fertility
and give livestock humane living conditions.
By choosing
organic produce, the consumer has chosen one of the
best ways to reduce the amount of pesticides currently
damaging natural eco systems and contaminating our soil,
water and food supply. Buying organic food and drink
is also an incredibly easy way to a healthier body;
you are drastically cutting the amount of harmful pesticides
in your body as well as increasing your intake of natural
fresh produce.
