How to Buy Organic
Organic food offers benefits in terms of nutritional and health value, while also having a smaller impact on the environment. Organic systems significantly reduce their impact on nature, with farms within these systems supporting excellent levels of insect and bird populations. Additionally, they maintain soil with high organic material content, effectively locking carbon into the soil.
Buying organic food can be challenging, as not all the goods you may want to buy are organic. Most big supermarkets have good ranges of organic food, but for some produce, a visit to a specialist retailer or begin to buy online is needed.
