Better for us. A £12m, four-year study undertaken by Newcastle University found that there are more antioxidants and less fatty acids in organically grown plants than conventionally grown plants. That means more beneficial ingredients in everything from the organic beauty products to the organic baby wipes, and more nutritional organic food produce.
Better for the earth. Conventional farming methods have more of an impact on wild life and natural ecosystems through the pesticides they spray and the intensive methods they use. Organic and biodynamic farming creates less pollution and less waste. Organic farming is kinder on soil, employing more sustainable practices that include crop rotation, ooh, and fewer chemicals!
Better for the animals. Strict animal welfare standards apply in the organic industry. Compassion in World Farming found organic farms met between 11 and 14 of a 15 criteria study for animal welfare, whilst conventional farms scored between 4 and 7.
