The Basic Premise
With the increasing awareness about conventional farming methods, one can trace a paradigm shift towards organic food among the masses. While the organic market has prospered well in countries like USA, Germany and France in the past two decades; the concept is still in its initial stage of development in India. In order to address the rising concerns about environment as well as detrimental lifestyle of the youth, organic food is the need of the hour. So let us assess the real value of organic farming and dispel some myths about it as well.
Basically organic food arises from the sort of farming that shuns conventional practices of pesticide usage, fertilizer dosage and steers clear of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The method of farming is more eco-friendly, sustainable and promotes biodiversity conservation. Even the livestock that is raised organically is given access to outdoor environment and reared on natural grass and not injected with hormones. Since no artificial colouring or sweeteners are added to enhance the flavour of leafy vegetables and fruits, the organic products retain a genuine level of nutrition.
The Benefits
Organic produce is beneficial for both the environment and the populace. However the fact that the nutrition derived from organic food is better than non-organic food is still a matter of wide debate. Nevertheless, a closer look at the way organic foods are grown leaves one in no doubt that it is indeed the wiser choice.
