Organic food is usually free of chemical pesticides and fertilizers and therefore contains fewer pollutants than conventionally grown food. They are also richer in nutrients such as vitamins and minerals.

Organic farming respects the environment as it uses natural methods of pest control and soil conditioning, and avoids the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Organic farming also helps preserve biodiversity and improve soil quality.

Organic farming promotes social justice as it gives small and local farms a better competitive position against large corporations and improves working conditions on farms.

Many people report that organic foods taste better because they're harvested ripe and haven't been treated with chemicals.

Buying organic food supports local farmers and creates jobs in the region. It also helps boost local communities' economies and reduce dependency on imported food.
