THE ORGANIC PRODUCT:

The organic product is a healthier product. Why?

It is healthier for the producer. Since he doesn’t use pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. Family farms that are certified organic farms have a double economic benefit: they are profitable and they farm in harmony with their surrounding environment. The organic production allows the farmer to be independent to multinational companies. The organic farms are compatible with rural tourism and they help to keep the rural life, culture and tradition.

It is healthier for the livestock; since it is respected in its not accelerated growth, without antibiotics or hormones. Native livestock varieties of the region are promoted.

It is healthier for the soil. Organic production helps soil conservation. Feeding the soil with organic matter instead of ammonia and other synthetic fertilizers has proven to increase nutrients in produce, with higher levels of vitamins and minerals found in organic food.

It is healthier for the air. The respect towards livestock generates low aerosol pollution and less carbon dioxide, which prevents greenhouse effect. Organic farming doesn’t generate pollutant wastes; helps to the energy saving… the crop and the organic production make the most of renewable resources.

It is healthier for water. It contributes to the water retention. And the aquifers are not polluted with the abusive utilization of chemical pesticides and chemical fertilizers.

It is healthier for consumers. All the above reasons make organic products consumption beneficial for our own health, since we help to keep the ecological balance of environment… in addition to that, the organic products have a more authentic taste and flavour, they content more nutrients and vitamins… protected by a strict regulation of quality control.
