1. Relatively healthier
Studies show that organic products contain more trace elements such as iron, magnesium, and calcium, as well as vitamin C, while their levels of heavy metals and carcinogenic nitrates are lower.
2. Better taste
Organic agriculture advocates preserving the natural composition of products, thereby maintaining the original taste of food.
3. Avoiding outbreaks of diseases such as avian influenza
Intensive animal farming methods make it easy for diseases to spread, whereas organic agriculture requires open animal farming methods that give animals space to stretch and move, enhance their disease resistance, and reduce opportunities for disease transmission.
4. Containing fewer chemical substances
Under the principles of organic production, all production and processing procedures permit the use of chemical substances only under restricted conditions.
5. Production process contains no genetically modified components
Under the principles of organic production, no genetically modified organisms or their derivatives may be used in any production and processing procedures.
6. Beneficial to the environment and ecology
Organic production encourages the use of natural materials, moderate fertilization and irrigation, reduces resource waste, and enhances biodiversity within and around the farm.
7. Protecting soil
Soil degradation and pollution are becoming increasingly serious, and since soil is a fundamental element for food production, humanity must protect it. The soil protection measures required by organic agriculture aim to restore and maintain the vitality of the soil so that it can continue to provide humanity with sufficient and high-quality food.
8. Actually not expensive at all
Organic production is smaller in scale, involves large labor investment, and has relatively high risk costs and transportation costs, so the price of organic products is naturally higher. However, conventional agriculture does not account for environmental costs such as pollution and declining soil fertility. If environmental costs were reflected in prices, the prices of conventional agricultural products and organic agricultural products would be similar. More importantly, if one consumes healthy green food over the long term, one can clearly feel an increase in immunity and an improvement in physical constitution, which is a normal phenomenon as toxins in the body are gradually eliminated.文章源自FOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/en/11208/
