Organic Foods: What You Need to Know Joy of Organics
What does “organic” mean? The term “organic” refers to the way agricultural products are grown and processed. While the laws vary from country to country, in the USA, organic products must be grown without the use of artificial pesticides, bioengineered genes (GMOs), petroleum-based fertilizers, and sewage sludge-based fertilizers. Organic livestock raised for meat, eggs, and dairy products must have access to the outdoors and be given organic feed. They may not be given antibiotics, growth hormones, or any animal by- products.
Benefits of Organic Food Organic produce contains fewer pesticides. Organic food is often fresher Organic meat and milk are richer in certain nutrients Organic food is GMO-free
