Organic food refers to food that has been produced without the use of pesticides, herbicides or other synthetic chemicals, and that they have been cultivated in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner. Organic food production is based on agricultural practices that respect biodiversity and promote the health of the soil, water and air.
As well as being more environmentally friendly, organic food can also be healthier for people. Studies have shown that organic food can contain more nutrients than conventional food, and that it can have lower levels of pesticide residues and other toxic chemicals.
