Why Do People Go Organic?Organic farmingPeople go organic for
many reasons, including to preserve the fertility and biodiversity of the soil and prevent soil erosion. Their goal is to improve the lives of livestock animals and avoid certain practices involved with factory farms and mass feedlot operations, such as toxic runoff contaminating the water supply. Organic farmers use natural organic soil amendments and fertilizers and believe that plants grown in healthy, nutrient-dense soil are better able to survive drought, resist disease, and tolerate insects. Organic farmers also claim crop yields are better with more natural methods. Another reason people go organic is taste. Anecdotal evidence shows organic
food tastes better, which is all a matter of opinion, of course. Some studies also show organic foods have more nutrition and healthy fat [8] [9] [10]. Another benefit of organic food is that synthetic materials and artificial additives are prohibited in organic farming and food products. Thousands of chemicals are allowed in conventional non-organic foods, including some artificial colors and preservatives that have been associated with health issues. Concerns about GMOsRoundup (glyphosate) is often heavily used on GMO crops and it’s also been classified as a human carcinogen. Studies conclude that those who ate organic foods frequently had a lower risk of developing certain types of cancer [11].
