Organic Food: Definition & Thoughts

What Does Organic Mean?
Commonly, organic is defined as farming without synthetic pesticides and conventional fertilizers. However, THIS IS NOT THE ACTUAL DEFINITION! Organic refers to the way a good is produced. For a good to be organic, its way of production has to satisfy the conditions mentioned in the definition of organic agriculture provided by the National Organic Standards Board (NOBS) which's: "an ecological production manegement system that promotes biodiversity and enhances bidiversity, biological cycle and soilbiological avtivity. It is based on minimal use of off-farming inputs and on manegement practices that restore, maintain, and enhance ecological harmony".

However, many researchers assure that going organic is the only way to have healthy meals and eradicate hunger!
