Organic food aims to protect the environment, improve soil fertility, reduce energy consumption and sustain economic levels of production. These methods create a more balanced ecosystem and produce healthier foods. They are grown by appropriate land management practices without the use of artificial fertilisers, herbicides, pesticides, etc.
There are a number of reasons why many people prefer to buy organic food. Some people are concerned about the effects of chemical residue in the food they eat. There are also concerns about the long term effects on the environment of chemicals and especially non-sustainable farming methods.
