Why organic farming Organic
Core principles

Boosting biodiversity |
Organic farming focuses on healthy soils, biodiversity and natural growth without the use of harmful pesticides or artificial fertilisers.
By working with nature rather than against it, we produce food that is richer in nutrients and better for people, animals and the environment.
Farmers use compost, crop rotation and natural soil improvement techniques to grow healthy crops without becoming dependent on chemical inputs.
Traditional seeds versus hybrid seeds
Ancient seeds
- More biodiversity
- Richer taste
- Can be reused yourself
- Stronger local adaptation
Hybrid Seeds
- Aimed at higher yields
- Less genetic variation
- Often dependent on fertilizer
- Not always reusable
Why iron is important
Iron supports oxygen transport, energy production and the immune system.
- More energy
- Supports concentration
- Helps prevent fatigue
Problems of conventional agriculture
- Groundwater pollution
- Soil depletion
- ADependence on chemicals
- Reducing biodiversity
