What is the Issue?

Is organic better for your health? Is organic better for the environment? Is it worth the extra cost?

These are the current issues about organic vs. non-organic.

Organic farming relies on the following rinci les! 3. #. %.

0rganic farming $ractices are !esigne! to benefit the environment by re!ucing $ollution an! conserving water an! soil. 3imiting the $estici!es' herbici!es an! other chemicals that get into the water an! soil is certainly a goo! thing for $rotecting the !elicate balance of nature.
