The local fauna will not be harmed since groundwater and topsoil will not be contaminated by chemical pesticides and fertilizers.

Our water bodies will be safer for the same reason.

Balance of nature will be maintained.

Artificial aids to farming consume a lot of energy. Organic food relies on natural sources so less energy will be consumed

Wasteful agriculture will not be done, so it will prove more economical in the long run.

Since we will not be polluting the environment, we will be helping to save our planet.

B. Organic food is good for the farmers’ health:

Farmers today are constantly exposed to extremely dangerous chemicals that are present in pesticides and fertilizers. They have led to serious health problems in the farmers and farm hands since they are constantly exposed to them. The digestive system, respiratory organs, nervous system, skin, eyes suffer due to constant exposure. This can be the cause of birth defects, cancer etc.

C. Organic food is good for health:

Pesticides act at the cellular level, leading to mutation of the cells. This can cause a rise in dangers such as cancer and other health problems. If children and infants are given non-organic diet, they are exposed to these health risks since they are susceptible to health problems. Everyone should opt for an organic diet, and this should particularly include children and infants as their health is our responsibility.
