Organic food and farming
Often when we hear about organic products is to ask whether we are really better than many other products we consume. Surely, a crop free from chemical additives and a farm where animals eat healthy foods is able to return food tastier and certainly healthier to eat, although there is no evidence that these foods are biologically higher than produced by the method traditional.
There is no research aimed at demonstrating that organic farming is actually more healthy than to industrial production, and indeed there are experts who argue that the industrial production processes to ensure greater quality in terms of hygiene in food, considering the fact that often organic farms use manure as fertilizer or other natural fertilizers can be converted into real crawl of bacteria capable of causing serious diseases such as salmonella.
Biologically speaking what is true is that there are foods that should be better monitored and controlled, such as wine grapes from an organic farming can be deteriorated by the addition of products that are used to make wine, for example sulphite which facilitates the fermentation but can be toxic to the body. If we consider that the doses of sulphite wine provided for the construction of traditional ecological and wine are practically identical, it follows that the so-called biological wine uncorked on the table may not be very different from a traditional wine. And this is just an example of how often the processes of transformation of food and beverages are able to destroy the ‘organic origin’ of raw materials.
Production
The primary objective of an organic farmer is to try to keep your soil healthy, so that it can be born healthy plants, which give healthy fruits. The first rule to follow is therefore to respect nature, satisfy the natural cycles of plants and how to banish any chemical fertilizers, insecticides and pesticides, herbicides and herbicides, fertilizers, or any type of colorant and preservative , finally, genetically modified organisms, the famous GM. Following these rules will get at least natural products grown in respect for natural cycles of the earth until you get to our tables, and using seed derived, also, from organic farming systems.
