About organic food
Organic farmers and food producers grow and produce food without using synthetic chemicals such as pesticides and artificial fertilisers.
Animal welfare and environmental sustainability are important issues for organic farmers.
Organic farming
Organic farming is also concerned with protecting the environment and working in harmony with existing ecosystems – including conserving water, soil and energy, and using renewable resources and natural farming cycles.
Traditional farming methods are often used, such as rotating crops to prevent nutrient depletion in soil and integrating crops and livestock.
Reasons to buy organic food
Most people buy organically-grown food products because they are concerned about pesticides, additives, antibiotics or other chemical residues, and believe organic food is healthier.
Other reasons include – concerns with the impact of conventional farming on biodiversity and the environment, and the ethical treatment of livestock.
Organic food is better for the environment
Organic foods promote healthier and more sustainable use of natural resources. Modern conventional farming methods include excessive use of chemicals and planting only one crop multiple times (monocropping). This has led to a decline in soil fertility, and an increase in salinity.
Organic farmers try to minimise damage to the environment by diversifying their crops, using physical weed control, and animal and green manure.
