Promote Organic fruits and organic Farms

Organic farms do not consume or release synthetic pesticides into the environment.Early consumers interested in organic food would look for non-chemically treated, fresh or minimally processed food.Foods claiming to be organic must be free of artificial food additives, and are often processed with fewer artificial methods, materials and conditions.



A major benefit to consumers of organic food is that it is free of contamination. Organically grown plants are nourished naturally, rendering the structural and metabolic integrity of their cellular structure superior to those conventionally grown. As a result, organically grown foods can be stored longer.Organic farming normally does not involve capital investment as high as that required in chemical farming.Crop failure, therefore, does not leave an organic farmer into enormous debt.Organic food prevents food producers from using pesticides and other dangerous chemicals.

In traditional India, entire agriculture was practiced using organic techniques, where the fertilizers, pesticides, etc., were obtained from plant and animal products. Many farmers in India are shifting to organic farming due to the domestic and international demand for organic food. When calculated either per unit area or per unit of yield, organic farms use less energy and produce less waste. Today people are increasingly concerned about the quality and cleanliness of the foods they eat. Organic farms or eating locally grown food helps in the fight against global warming.Eating locally encourages the use of local farmland for farming and eliminates the wastage of fuel in transportation. Promoting organic fruits and locally grown food helps to reduce carbon footprints.
