Organic Foods - Are They More Nutritious?
Organic farming means raising food plants and animals without using any chemical products, synthetic pesticides, antibiotics and hormones while supporting sustainable methods like crop rotation. Did you know that cropland has to be chemical-free for at least 3 years before being used for organic foodstuffs? It takes that long to rid the fields of all contaminants (chemical products and residue).

Organic farming also prohibits irradiation (used to destroy insects, bacteria and some parasites) and all genetic engineering (GMO). Organic food production is a regulated system requiring each farmer, processor and distributor to keep detailed records of their operations (e.g. products used, sales, ploughing date, origin of purchased seeds, etc.).
