Organic food

In the rush to produce more and more crops to satisfy growing demand, producers have had to resort to using lethal pesticides to control diseases and insect attacks. The quality of food has definitely gone down since the Second World War. Organic food is known to contain fifty percent more nutrients, minerals and vitamins than produce that has been intensively farmed. The word "organic" refers to the way farmers grow and process agricultural products, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products and meat. Organic farming practices are designed to support soil and water conservation and reduce the pollution of the land. Farmers who grow organic produce and meat do not use conventional methods to fertilize, control weeds or prevent livestock disease. For example, rather than using chemical or pesticides, organic farmers may recur to the use of natural fertilizers. This is one of the best ways to avoid the exposure to the chemicals in food. However, there are some cases where this organic crops have been contaminated by near crops that use chemical or crops that have been genetically modified. Other great disadvantage of this is that not all the people have access to this kind of food because of the price of it. Since this product demand more dedication from the farmers and also the high cost of the products to grow up the crops the price of the Organic products are more expensive and in that way less accessible to the regular consumer.
