The 3 advantages of organic food!
Paying attention to your health is a basis for everyone. Many of the products we find in supermarkets are full of pesticides, which is, in the end, very little recommended by doctors. Here are the 3 advantages of organic food!
Beyond food, there are other daily actions to do to preserve the planet !
Better for your health
One of the first advantages of organic food is the fact that it is better for your health ! Indeed, it is very easy to find, when shopping, products and foods full of pesticides (fruits/vegetables, etc.). So, why buy organic products? Because they contain more nutrients (due to the fact that they have no/have few pesticide residues). Eating organic food also means having fewer diseases. Indeed, pesticides can cause diseases such as leukaemia in children: the most affected people are babies and infants, young children and farmers and their families. Buying organic products means making the choice to eat responsibly and to take care of yourself, simply.

Better for the environment
It's no secret that the use of pesticides is a huge threat to the ecosystem. Indeed, several species die every day from these toxic products. These include bees (which are dying at an alarming rate, despite their immense importance for biodiversity), frogs, but also birds. And even if they weren't poisoned by pesticides, they would still starve, because their main food dies because of the toxic products.
One of the main advantages of organic food is therefore to be able to preserve nature, the soil and the animals. Indeed, in the first place, we can argue that pesticides damage the soil enormously, not to mention the phenomenal exploitation of resources, which is slowly destroying the planet. As far as animals are concerned, it is quite possible to choose to feed from organic farms. They are indeed respectful of animals, they respect strict rules to take care of them and leave them in the open air (instead of locking them in tiny cages, which would make anyone claustrophobic).
You can also make a difference by working in the organic and local food sector!
Better for the local economy
Finally, we have the advantage in terms of the local economy! Of course, there are imported organic products – that's why you should always check where the food comes from. As soon as you do, you would favor local farmers, allowing them to have a stable income and to offer more local quality products. Consuming products from short circuits not only helps the environment but also boosts the local economy.
In short, for responsible consumption, favor organic and local food, in order to encourage local farmers while respecting the planet! In the long run, you'll see the difference.
