Organic
14 products
- Organic agricultural products are those that are produced using methods that do not involve the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, or other chemicals. Instead, organic farmers rely on natural methods such as crop rotation, cover cropping, and composting to improve soil health and fertility. They also use biological controls, such as beneficial insects, to manage pests and diseases.

The benefits of organic agriculture include:
- Improved soil health: Organic farming practices help to build up soil organic matter, which improves the water-holding capacity of the soil, reduces erosion, and provides nutrients for plants.
- Reduced pollution: Organic farming systems do not use synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, which can pollute waterways and groundwater.
- Increased biodiversity: Organic farming systems support a diversity of plants and animals, which helps to maintain healthy ecosystems.
- Improved animal welfare: Organic farmers are required to provide their animals with more space, fresh air, and sunlight than conventional farmers.
