The Importance Of Natural and Organic Vegetable Farming Today

By Sabriel S Lacey


Organic gardening has gained in acceptance as more people are interested in what they eat. Many people believe that their shortage of energy is the result of all the chemicals used in conventional methods of gardening. Growers are getting the point from the US Department of Agriculture to do more organic farming.

When it comes to non-chemical farming, methods like irradiation and genetic engineering is not used, options like crop rotation are used instead. Crop rotation is a strategy where after one crop is harvested, the acreage is used again to grow a different crop. This method helps to keep the nutrients in the soil and is usually used indefinitely. This approach is a tad challenging for farmers who never have done this before. Producers are receiving incentives and subsidies for following the organic approach to farming.

It has been demonstrated that organically grown vegetables have 50% more nutritional value than those grown using conventional methods. Health concerns such as cancer and heart disease could be minimized if people had ability to access organically grown vegetables. Natural milk supplies more vitamins, ant-oxidants, Omega 3 and CLA than regular milk making it great for children. Natural and organic vegetables only provide for 5% to 7% of the produce found in grocery stores. This is the primary reason anyone wishing to eat 100% organic vegetables will have to grown them in their own organic garden.

You can do this in one of two ways. You can cultivate your own seedlings and harvest them, or you can plant the fully grown ones, you just bought, into the ground. The majority of people would rather grow veggies from a seedling. By using either method, you will need to have compost, a protected area to grow your plants and well-prepared soil. You need to try to keep bugs and unwanted weeds out of your garden. To safeguard your garden, you can find effective but safe methods to fight pests like using soap, other insects, or some types of organic fertilizer. When you don't have the space, you can grow your vegetables in containers. Doing it that way, you definitely will need to provide them a lot more water than when planted in the soil.

Growing your own non-chemical vegetables is one of many choices to provide a healthy and safe environment for your family. You can easily get your organic vegetables in a store or grow them yourself. Make sure that you rinse your vegetables whether or not they are organic.
