Over the last ten years there has been a switch towards mechanization and homogenization in farming, this uses pesticides, herbicides, additives, synthetic fertilizers and mass-production systems. This is having an impact on our health, we are seeing new diseases spreading from animals to human. Think bird flu, swine flu.

The World Health Organization generates reports showing that the use of chemicals and other substances in food, combined with the manufacturing systems used, can actually be a threat for our well being.

If you have space for a few pots or even a small piece of land, it is a wise decision to grow your own organic vegetable garden. Today I’m presenting you with seven reasons for doing this:

1. You will have no additives in your vegetables. Research by organic food associations has shown that additives in our food can cause heart diseases, osteoporosis, migraines and hyperactivity.

2. There will be no pesticides or synthetic fertilizers used. These chemical products are applied to obtain crops all the time regardless plagues or weather conditions, and affect the quality of the vegetables. Pesticides are poisonous to humans.

3. There will be no genetic modification. Farmers also use drugs such as antibiotics and hormones to grow larger plants and vegetables.The problem with this practice is you end up up with identical vegetables that have virtually no taste. The hormones that have been used end up being ingested by us further affecting our health.

4. By eating organic vegetables you have grow yourself you will be sure they are healthy for you. You will not need to worry about the addatives named above, and they will be more natural than anythign you can get at the supermarket. Your health will not bein jeappardy and you will know that nothing has been added to your produce.

5. Your own organic vegetables will be much more tasty. The use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, hormones and antibiotics make vegetables grow unnaturally and take the taste away from them. With organic vegetables, your cooking will be enhanced as their flavour will show fully.

6. By farming organically you will be being friendly to the environment. By not using pesticides and other terribly harmful chemicals on your produce, there will be no not harm the soil or the environment from the chemical components.

7. Another plus from growing your own organic vegetables is that you contribute to your own self-sustainability as well as that of the planet. Communities have been started where people can exchange produce that they have grown naturally. This creates a friendly enviornment which is beneficial to everyone.

Really, all it means to eat organically is that we do not add anything unnatural to our food that should not be there.I am sure you have figured out that, synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and hormones are not things you find in naturally grown food. In order to be more healthy you should grow your own organic produce, you only need a couple of small pots to get started.
