There are loads of benefits to growing and eating organic food, some you probably know about and maybe some you don’t. Here are some of our top reasons :
Growing
1. We don’t use artificial pesticides so you don’t eat any
2. Our rotation helps us to grow healthy crops and encourage wildlife
3. We minimise pollution of rivers and waterways as we don’t use any artificial or synthetic chemicals
4
. We improve soil fertility by adding organic matter and natural nitrogen fixation
5
. We don’t poison wildlife with artificial or synthetic chemicals so there is a more natural balance between bees, butterflies, birds and wild animals
Eating
1.You are less exposed to less harmful residues from artificial fertilisers, chemicals, hormones or antibiotics
2..You won't be eating genetically modified (GM) crops or ingredients
3. You are supporting farms that nurture our beautiful and diverse wildlife and countryside
4.You are eating food that generally has higher vitamin and mineral content than conventional food
5.You are getting tastier food as it naturally takes longer to grow and has less water content
