What is good about organic farming?
• Organic farmers work in harmony with nature and do not grow GM crops. • Organic farming is sustainable farming. • Organic farms can support higher levels of wildlife. • Organic farming keeps harmful chemicals and pesticides out of the food we eat. • Organic farming reduces toxic farming runoff and pollutants that contaminate our water, soil and air. • Organic farming is better for the environment. Recent research has found that when compared to conventional agriculture, the very nature of organic farming not only makes it less of a contributor to greenhouse gas emissions (40-60% lower), but organic farms have higher levels of organic matter in the soil this enables carbon to be stored in the soil.
