Eat Organic Produce

Purchase Organic foodToo many pesticides, herbicides and fungicides in your energy intensive genetically modified food? Try eating organic.

Organic food certification requires that crops and livestock are grown and reared naturally, without artificial fertilisers, synthetic pesticides, chemical feeds, growth-promotion drugs or routine antibiotics. As a result, organic produce is chemical free, higher in the nutrients and minerals our bodies requires, and most importantly, tastes better.

Why this action

is

important

Eating organic helps to reduce climate change (by reducing transport and industrial energy), nitrogen release into the environment (organic farming doesn't use fertilisers), and helps minimise salinity & soil loss caused by exotic hoofed animals and inappropriate farming methods. There is also a reduced impact on local eco-systems and biodiversity.

Environmental benefit

Organic produce is a more environmentally beneficial form of farming because it doesn’t require energy-intensive fertilisers, pesticides and herbicides. It works with rather than against local biological systems and species, and also builds soil mass, which is a very effective way to store carbon from the atmosphere, and therefore slows climate change.

Wellbeing benefits

Organic food is better for you. It's higher in nutrients, lower in artificial additives, and is free of GM, preservatives and unnatural chemicals. Free-range Organic eggs, as well as kangaroo and other native foods, all have minimal impacts on the land and have lived well.
