1. No harmful chemicals
Organic food is grown without the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, which harm the environment and may cause health problems.
2. No GMOs
Organic food is non-GMO, meaning it hasn't been genetically modified.
3. No antibiotics
Organic meat and dairy products come from animals that are not given antibiotics or growth hormones.
4. Natural taste

Choosing organic food supports small-scale farmers and producers. Most organic food is produced and owned by small-scale family businesses.
6. Better for the environment
Organic farming promotes biodiversity and reduces pollution, helping to preserve the planet for future generations.
