Organic food tastes better and while it is common sense that ingesting food that has been laden with chemical pesticides and herbicides isn’t good for you. There is much more to it than that. Organically grown produce consistently tests higher than non-organically grown foods for vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients, as well as showing much smaller amounts of nitrates, heavy metals and other contaminants. One of the main reasons there is a nutritional discrepancy is that organic soil is much richer in minerals and micronutrients than non-organic soil. What’s not in the soil is unable to be absorbed by the plant. This is because non-organic farmers most often fertilize their soil with only three components: nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, whereas organic farmers use a variety of fertilizers including compost, manure and cover crops. When you buy organic produce you not only get chemical-free food, and it’s taste benefits you also get all the health benefits that rich, well-managed living soil provides.
One more way organic foods are better for your health is that organic producers are not allowed to use any Genetically Modified Organisms or GMOs at any level of their production. This relatively new technology inserts genes from one species into another, in an attempt to transfer certain desired traits. Not only can genes be transferred from one plant to another, but genes from non-plant organisms also can be used. For example, the use of B.t. genes in corn and other crops. B.t., or Bacillus thuringiensis, genes have been transferred into corn, enabling the corn to produce its own pesticides against insects. The consequences of crossing species barriers like this, which is impossible in nature, are unknown, as are the risks to human health and the environment. It is estimated that over 70% of all non-organic foods in the U.S. already contain GMOs. So, the only way to limit your exposure to GMO’s is by purchasing organic foods whenever possible.
What we choose to consume today, directly impacts how we – and future generations – will live tomorrow. With this in mind, choosing to buy organic is a choice you make that has a positive impact on your own body and also the future of our planet.
We believe systems which integrate the environment, the economy, and social concerns in a way that can be maintained in a healthy state indefinitely can be defined as sustainable. Sustainable agriculture must be economically viable, socially responsible, and ecologically sound. In terms of food production, a sustainable agriculture should not use up resources (soil, water, labor, community support, etc.) faster than it can (re)produce them.
Buying local means more money re-circulates here in our community because locally owned businesses purchase from other local businesses, service providers and farms. Purchasing locally helps grow local businesses, which in turn also means more local jobs.
Local businesses are owned by people who live in this community, and are more invested in the community’s future. Local businesses also often hire people with more specific product expertise for better customer service. Non-profit organizations receive an average 350% greater support from local business owners than they do from non-locally owned businesses.
A marketplace of full of small local businesses is the best way to ensure innovation and low prices over the long-term. A multitude of small businesses, each selecting products based not on a national sales plan, based instead on their own interests and the needs of their local customers.
Locally owned businesses make more local purchases requiring less transportation. This contributes to less sprawl, congestion, habitat loss and pollution. In turn this reduces environmental impact.
