There are many reasons why organic farming techniques are becoming all the rage, but the most important reasons have to do with preserving people's health, animal health and the health of the earth.

The argument begins because there is no denying that ingesting chemicals is harmful to people. Feeding a baby non-organic apple juice might be like putting Windex in a sippy cup. The word organic refers to a natural method of growing that produces food without the use of artificial pesticides, chemicals or hormones, relying on soil organisms, insects and birds to keep the insects under control.
