10 reasons to eat organic

1. Organic food tastes extremely good - this is the simple message given by many people who eat organic.
2. Organic fruit and vegetables have been shown in a number of studies to contain more vitamins, nutrients and cancer-fighting antioxidants than non-organic food.
3. Organic systems aim to avoid the use of artificial chemicals, pesticides and fertilisers.
4. Organic food is produced without GMOs, which are prohibited in the Soil Association's standards for organic food and farming.
5. Organic farming places great emphasis on animal welfare.
6. Organic food is produced without the routine use of antibiotics.
7. Organic systems reduce dependence on non-renewable resources.
8. Organic production is more sustainable and friendlier to the environment and wildlife.
9. There has not been a case of BSE in any herd which has been in full organic management since before 1985.
10. Organic systems rely on a modern and scientific understanding of ecology and soil science, while also depending on traditional methods of crop rotations to ensure fertility and weed and pest control.

All About Organic

We put together a display presentation to introduce organic food at the Tullow Show in August 2002. Much of the information came from the Soil Association website - thanks to them; and thanks to Emilie van Strydonck for her help in building the display.
