History
Modern organic farming has its roots in the 1920s and 1930s when farmers began experimenting with alternative farming methods. They wanted to grow food naturally, without using synthetic chemicals. People like Sir Albert Howard and Rudolf Steiner emphasized the importance of maintaining the natural balance in the soil through composting, crop rotation, and avoiding synthetic pesticides and fertilizers.
From the 1960s and 1790s, organic food really started to gain popularity. People began to worry about the effects of conventional farming on the earth and on our health. They wanted healthier food that was also good for the environment.
This led to the establishment of regulations to ensure the integrity of organic products.
The importance of organic products
Organic food is important for several reasons:
- Health: Organic food often contains more nutrients and fewer harmful substances than conventional food.
- Environment: Organic farming is generally more environmentally friendly than conventional farming. No chemical substances harmful to nature are used.
- Animals: Organic farming has stricter rules regarding animal welfare. Animals are treated better: for example, they have free-range and aren’t given growth hormones (as with ‘plofkippen’) or antibiotics.
- Economy: By buying organic products, we often support local farmers and strengthen local communities. The reduced dependency on large corporations can lead to a more resilient and diverse agricultural system.
- Climate: Organic farming can help combat climate change. It helps sequester carbon in the soil, which can contribute to reducing the impact of agriculture on climate change.
Organic food is a good choice if you want to eat healthier and protect the earth. It can make a difference for our health and for the world around us.
