During the last decades there has been a change towards mechanization and homogenization of farming, which uses pesticides, additives, herbicides, synthetic fertilizers and mass-production techniques. All this is clearly affecting mankind’s health, and new diseases are spreading rapidly amongst humans and animals. We can take a leaf from the recent pandemic! The dreaded Covid 19! And this should be more than enough for reasons to grow your own organic vegetables.
7 Reasons to grow your own organic vegetable garden
If you have space for a few pots or even a small piece of land, it is a wise decision to grow your own organic vegetable garden. Today I’m presenting you with seven reasons to grow your own organic vegetables.
Zero Additives
You will have no additives in your vegetables. Research by organic food associations has shown that additives in our food can cause heart diseases, osteoporosis, migraines and hyperactivity.
No pesticides
There will be no pesticides or synthetic fertilizers used. These chemical products are applied to obtain crops all the time regardless of plagues or weather conditions, and affect the quality of the vegetables. Besides, pesticides are usually poisonous to humans.
You know what you are growing!
Your vegetables will not be genetically modified! Because you know what you are growing! Since you will grow your own organic vegetables, you will go that extra mile and take the precautions that they are safe to consume.
You’ll eat healthy!
Eating your own organic vegetables will be much more healthy for you. They will not contain any of the products or chemicals and they will be much more natural than any ones you would find at the supermarket. Your health will not be at risk because you will then know that nothing has been added to your vegetables.
You know what you eat
Your own organic vegetables will be much more tasty. The use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, hormones and antibiotics make vegetables grow unnaturally and take the taste away from them. Vegetables that are grown organically enhance the flavor of the food.
Organic farming is environment friendly
Yes! Organic farming is friendly to the environment. Because you won’t use pesticides or other equally harming products on your vegetables, you will not damage the soil or the air with the chemical components.
You are opting for sustainability
When you grow your own organic vegetables you are contributing to your own self-sustainability and the sustainability of the planet. You can opt to be a part of small communities that sell these products too in the long run!
In the end, eating organic products only means that we do not add anything else to them than they would naturally have. These are some reasons to grow your own organic vegetable garden.
Free from pesticides, additives and more. To better care for your health, follow these reasons to grow your own organic vegetable garden! All you need is a few pots, seeds and you are ready to start your own mini vegetable garden.
