Organic
products, in the last decade and a half, have improved enough to have
practically achieved mainstream status. If you went back to the 1990's,
you could only obtain organic foods in upscale grocery stores or fitness
food co-ops, but now you can find them in any supermarket. Not only
have organic products become more available, but with more people buying
them, they have also come to be more affordable. As concerns for our
environment and well being have increased, we now have become more aware
of organic foods and their benefits.
As more individuals start to see the advantages of eating organic foods, there'll be a higher demand and higher production requirements in the near future. Organic products are going to continue to become popular as they become more available and production increases. Organic product sales expanded at an extraordinary 20% each year during the 1990's until they hit $9 billion in the beginning of the 21st century. These days, about 70% of US consumers purchase organic food at some point during the year.
It is expected that organic food production will will begin to become more mainstream, which is not only good for our health, but also the environment as well. It was actually only 15 years ago that a lot of people had little idea what organic food meant. Today, however, folks know that organic food means that it has been grown without any special chemicals or hormones. Organic foods, however, tend to be something more than merely being chemical-free, it also means that it's been grown naturally. It doesn't change anything if this is done within your backyard garden, or is done on a larger scale by the organic farmer.
Healthy soil is an important part of organic food production since it can produce healthy plants that can resist disease and pests without chemicals. Organic is better since continuous soil improvements are the ways that organic gardeners are oriented towards disease prevention, rather than using chemicals the way conventional growers cure disease. There exists a strong wish to have long-term soil building for organic farmers while regular farmers only want the quick fix. The long-term approach has immediate benefits, because the place they grow the food is never off-limits to the organic gardener. With dangerous chemical pesticide sprays, people have to avoid the growing area for a required safety period. The regional water sources will never be contaminated with synthetics, by the organic gardeners.
The organic and natural system uses safety and personal health as a motivational factor, given that they live where they grow the food. Through growing crops without chemicals, farmers are creating a sustainable environment that will have a positive effect on the earth at large.
