  • Additional Information
    • Abstract:
      Organic food consists of any crop or animal product produced without the use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, additives, or growth regulators. Genetically engineered foods, human sewage, and irradiation (the process through which radiation kills germs and bacteria in food) also are excluded from proper organic farming. Rather than synthetic chemicals, organic farmers rely on biological pest control, crop rotation, and animal manure.
