Organic gardening and farming is good for people, and good for the environment. Organic gardening and farming keep toxic pesticides out of the water supply and food chain. Pesticides cause a lot of human misery, from birth defects, to cancer, to allergies and other health problems. Pesticides now contaminate nearly every square inch of the ocean and land mass of the world. Pesticides are not excreted by plants or animals, so they become concentrated as they move up the food chain. People are at the top of most food chains, so we bear the brunt of the damage.
Organic gardening and farming rely on non-toxic ways to control pests. Pesticides are rarely used, and when they are, the pesticides are made from naturally occurring plant oils and minerals. Organic gardening and farming always uses the least toxic method possible to control pests.
Studies have shown that food grown organically has more antioxidants than food grown using conventional methods. The reason behind this is that when plants are under certain kinds of natural stress, such as insects, diseases, or weather extremes, they produce compounds called flavonoids, many of which are antioxidants. When the plant is “babied” and protected against these stresses by pesticide and fertilizer applications, it doesn't have to fight, and therefore produces fewer antioxidants.
