It also describes the advantages of organic farming such as being economical, having high demand, improving soil fertility, and being environmentally friendly. Some disadvantages include products being more expensive, having less initial production, and shorter shelf life. The document also compares the quality of organic versus inorganic food and outlines the basic steps and practices of organic farming including fertilizer, weed, and pest management.
Organic farming is the production of crops and livestock without synthetic chemicals or inorganic fertilizers. It aims to sustain soil, ecosystem, and human health. Organically farmed food is healthier with no toxic residues. Modern agriculture relies on pesticides, herbicides, and chemicals that are harmful to humans and contaminate food and soil. Organic farming uses manure, compost and crop rotation to nourish soil without chemicals. It creates living soil rich in nutrients and microorganisms, while modern farming leads to dead soil and pollution of water sources.
This document provides an overview of organic food, including its definition, production standards, chemical composition compared to conventional food, and impact on health. Key points include:
- Organic food is grown without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, GMOs, and must meet certification standards.
- Studies have found some nutritional differences between organic and conventional food, like higher antioxidant levels in organic crops, but no significant differences in essential nutrients.
- Pesticide residues are more common in conventional food, but health effects of low-level exposures are still debated.
- While some studies suggest potential health benefits, there is no conclusive evidence that organic food is safer or more nutritious than conventional food.
This document provides a summary of the benefits of organic food in 3 paragraphs or less. It discusses how organic food is grown without synthetic pesticides and fertilizers and is better for the environment, consumer health, and soil quality compared to conventional agriculture. Specific benefits highlighted include reducing health risks from toxic chemicals, protecting water sources, building soil health, respecting biodiversity and nature, and helping rural communities. The document also notes that organic food tastes better due to stronger, healthier plants grown in balanced soil.
Genetically modified foods are foods produced from organisms that have had changes introduced into their DNA. Common GM foods include corn, soybeans, potatoes, and tomatoes. GM foods may be modified to increase crop yields, improve nutrition, or make crops resistant to pests and herbicides. While GM foods could offer benefits like higher yields and more nutritious foods, there are also health risks to consider like allergic reactions and antibiotic resistance. Public opinion on GM foods is mixed, with some expecting benefits and others concerned about potential negative effects. Further research is needed to fully assess both the risks and benefits of genetically modified crops and foods.

The document discusses the benefits of organic food compared to conventionally grown food. It notes that organic food is grown without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, antibiotics, or genetic modifications. The document outlines several health and environmental risks of conventional farming, including negative impacts of pesticide residues in food and on farm workers. It also describes higher nutrient levels and taste in organic foods. Overall, the document promotes the consumption of organic food for various health and environmental benefits.
Organic farming is better for the environment and human health according to this document. It outlines 10 reasons why organic farming is preferable to conventional methods: 1) Organic products meet high standards without toxic chemicals. 2) Organic food tastes better due to healthy soil. 3) Organic production reduces health risks from chemicals like pesticides linked to cancer. Organic farming has other benefits like protecting water sources, building soil health long term, and working with natural ecosystems.
This document discusses organic farming methods and their benefits. It describes organic farming as using natural fertilizers and pesticides, practicing crop rotation and introducing beneficial pests. Farmers add compost and minerals to increase soil health and yields. Research shows that organically grown foods contain more antioxidants, and organic farming protects the environment by maintaining healthy soil with compost instead of chemicals. Organic farming has economic benefits like more rural jobs and reducing external costs of pesticides and fertilizers. However, organic yields can be lower and the food more expensive, bringing into question its sustainability and affordability.
Organic farming promotes food safety by minimizing exposure to harmful chemicals and reducing the risk of contamination. This is particularly important for consumers who may be sensitive to certain pesticides or have concerns about the long-term health effects of consuming products that have been treated with synthetic chemicals.
Nutritional Importance of Orgarnic and Nonorganic FoodsJohnson Mwove
The document compares organic and non-organic foods. Organic foods are produced without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, irradiation or additives. Non-organic foods use these methods. Organic foods may have higher levels of some nutrients like omega-3 and minerals but the differences in nutrition are small. Non-organic foods can contain higher levels of pesticide residues and antibiotics while organic foods are safer in this regard. Overall, both organic and non-organic foods can be part of a balanced diet.

Organic:
The term organic refers to an ecological method of agricultural
production that respects the natural environment. Organics focuses on
enhancing the health and vitality of the soil, preserving biodiversity,
promoting animal welfare and preserving the ecological integrity of our
environment.
NO USE OF :
• Artificial fertilizers

What is Organic Food ?
Organic food is a product of a farming system that uses natural and
regenerative processes:
crop rotation;
animal and plant manuring;
mechanical weeding;
biological pest control.
Organic Food are the items that are produced, processed and packaged
without using chemicals including items such as vegetables, fruits, milk,
meat.
Organic animal feed and welfare standards are important.

The Food Quality Protection Act (1996)
recognizes that many pesticides present
unacceptably high health risks, particularly to
infants and children.
From DDT to dursban, the EPA has removed
scores of pesticides from the food supply
precisely because they were not safe to eat.
High nitrate content in food and drinking water can be converted to
nitrosamines that are carcinogens. Nitrates can impair the ability of the
blood to carry oxygen, and may pose a risk of methemoglobinemia.
7. Problems of Intensive Farming
• Pesticide residues in products, soil, water;
• Fertilizers (eutrophication);
• Loss of biodiversity- kills both harmful and beneficial
organisms, destroys habitations of species;
• Degradation of soils (erosion);
• Landscape changes.

8. Benefits of Organic food over
Conventionally grown food
A scientific study published in the Journal of Applied Nutrition in 1993 by
USDA clearly showed that organic food is more nutritious than
conventional food.
Organically and conventionally grown apples, potatoes, pears, wheat, and
sweet corn were purchased in the western suburbs of Chicago, over two
years, and analyzed for mineral content. The organically grown food
averaged 63% higher in calcium, 73% higher in iron, 118% higher in
magnesium, 178% higher in molybdenum, 91% higher in
phosphorus, 125% higher in potassium and 60% higher in zinc. The
organic food averaged 29% lower in mercury than the conventionally
raised food.
The nitrate content of organically grown crops is usually significantly
lower than in conventionally grown products.
Organically grown corn, strawberries and Marion berries have
significantly higher levels of cancer fighting antioxidants than
conventionally grown foods.
