No Genetic Modification

GMOs present a great problem in today’s world. With billions of people to feed, there is little room and not enough resources left for the natural growth of foods.

Studies like the one conducted by Gilles-Eric Séralini show us the devastating effect of GMOs on rats, as they died 2-3 times faster on a GMO diet than the control group, and developed massive tumors.

By opting for organic foods, you don’t have to worry about any presence of GMOs in meat, dairy, or any other food.

No Pesticides or Herbicides

When plants are treated with pesticides and herbicides, they are essentially poisoned. The role of these agents is to poison harmful plants, pests, and vermin.

Naturally, it poisons your body as well. These agents kill all that is good and healthy in food.

Organic foods negate this problem by being treated with natural ingredients that repel vermin and keep the food healthy.

You can also invest in a greenhouse where you can grow out-of-season plants and have different types of soil for each. You can also divide the soil in your garden with soil beds, to grow various plants.

Be sure to use compost and other fertilizers to further enrich the soil. Manure is one of the best fertilizers, and you can buy it at your local nursery. Just make sure that the manure is at least six months old.
