Organic food:

 

Organic food is food grown according to genetically modified techniques, and radiation, without adding chemical fertilizers, insecticides, preservatives or artificial food enhancers.

 

Organic agriculture has been adopted to plow agricultural or animal materials by water and thus maintain good soil quality and reduce environmental pollution. Thus, animals grow outdoors without being supplied with antibiotics or hormones. Only natural fertilizers are used to feed the soil and plants and to encourage the rotation system.

 

Organic food is food that is produced entirely by organic means, from irrigation, through food supplements and fertilizers, to animal and plant growth stimuli. Organic agriculture rejects the use of chemical pesticides and chemical fertilizers, the use of drugs and hormones, preservatives, chromatography and genetic engineering that promote accelerated growth and high productivity.
