Organic Food and GMO Comparison
Every family hopes that the food on their table is both delicious and healthy.
But now everyone does not have a clear and unified
understanding of healthier food. Many people think that organic food is the
best, and can never be compared to GMO food but there are also many people who think that organic food is just a
gimmick for business promotion, and there is no substantial difference from
regular food.
Although organic food has been in people's field of vision
for a long time, many consumers are still hesitating and entangled whether to
eat organic food after learning about organic food.
Of course, this may be because the price of organic food is
higher, but it is more likely because everyone does not know enough about
organic food.
So should we eat organic food? Is organic food a more correct choice?
Let's analyze it from several aspects.
1. For health-organic food is the more correct choice than GMO
Organic food is produced and processed in accordance with organic farming and processing methods, contrary to GMO.
Organic food meets international or national organic food requirements and standards, and has passed the certification of my country's national organic food certification agency.
The
quality and safety of this kind of food is more guaranteed!
As the organic food production process does not use any
chemically synthesized substances such as chemical fertilizers, pesticides,
chemical pesticides, and genetic engineering and its processed products.
Therefore, organic food produced in accordance with organic
standards is chemical-free, non-additive, and pesticide-free, and can avoid all
diseases caused by pesticide residues. For humans, nature will be more natural
and healthier.
In addition, organic food contains more iron, magnesium,
calcium and other trace elements and vitamin C than conventional foods, and the
content of heavy metals and carcinogenic nitric acid is lower.
The content of phenolic compounds in organic foods is also higher than that in conventional foods.
Even Omega-3 fatty acids, which humans
cannot synthesize by themselves and can only be supplemented by food, are
contained in organic foods than conventional foods.
In general, organic food can provide more nutrients for human
health, so organic food is the more correct choice for maintaining health.
2. For the environment-organic food is the more correct choice
Since organic food is grown in accordance with organic
standards which is not in GMO, the requirements for the environment are very high. For example, the
requirements of organic agriculture for the environment are: the air, water
source, and soil of the planting base are tested to be free of pollution, and
there must be no pollution sources such as industrial areas and garbage areas
within 9 kilometers of the surrounding area.
Therefore, when organic farmers grow organic food, in order
to grow food that meets organic standards, they will strictly follow the
standards and treat the environment more friendly.
In the organic standard, the land must have an "organic
conversion period." In order to grow food that meets the organic standard,
organic growers must convert the organically grown land for 2-3 years to make
the soil healthier. For the environment, healthy soil is also conducive to the
improvement of the environment.
Therefore, choosing organic food requires organic producers
to adopt more environmentally friendly and beneficial measures to carry out
organic planting, which also allows organic agriculture to have a better
environmental condition and maintain sustainable development.
On the other hand, the development of organic agriculture
actually has certain constraints on the environment. More and more conventional
planting is converted to organic planting, which will also make our environment
better.
3. For biology-organic food is the more correct choice than GMO
Because of global warming, climate change and other issues,
many creatures on the earth have become rare animals and plants, and many have
even become extinct. To prevent this GMO is being brought about according to claims.
The disappearance of plants and animals has gradually reduced
the biodiversity on the earth, which is very detrimental to our earth.
But if human beings gradually choose organic agriculture,
choose organic food, develop agriculture in a way that is more conducive to
nature and the survival of animals and plants, and protect soil, water, air,
etc. Then our environment will be more natural, our biological It will be able
to maintain a richer diversity and retain more rare animals and plants.
Therefore, choosing organic food is not only a choice of a
healthier lifestyle, but also a choice that is more beneficial to our
environment and biodiversity. Therefore, organic food is also a more correct
choice for preserving biodiversity.
Everyone has a clearer answer to
the question of "whether you want to eat organic food", and things
that are more beneficial to human health, the ecological environment, and
biodiversity shouldn’t be more.
