Organic Produce
Organic food: the definition
In agriculture, this means that crops were grown without the use
of conventional pesticides, artificial
fertilizers or sewage sludge, and that they were processed without food
additives (like chemical preservatives). When it comes to animals, they must be
reared without the routine use of antibiotics and growth hormones and fed a diet
of organic foods. In most countries, organic produce must not be genetically
modified.
