What are the environmental benefits of organic farming over conventional farming methods?
Organically grown foods are cultivated using farming practices that work to preserve and protect the environment. Most conventional farming methods used today adhere to a chemical-dependent model of agribusiness. Residues from conventional farming methods use toxic chemicals that remain in the soil, leach into groundwater, and frequently end up either on the skin or become internal constituents of commercially grown foods. The predominant use of this model has resulted in adversely affecting the earth’s environment and the health of its inhabitants.
