Organic and Inorganic Foods

Hi Everyone,

HEALTHY ORGANIC FOOD

We would like to share a few things about Organic foods and the importance of eating healthy Organic foods. Let us start with what is Organic? We have been hearing this word for so long in markets and other commercial areas. Organic foods are agricultural products which has been produced without using pesticides and fertilizers. This way of cultivating food supports the environment to nourish itself. Organic way of cultivation does not use chemicals which depletes the soil fertility and harms the eco-system. In this type of farming cow dung, vegetable waste and compost are used as manures. By consuming organic food we are protected from harmful chemical agents. The picture below shows the way organic farming is done.

Right soil cultivation :

Right soil cultivation include preparing the soil for cultivation with proper tilling and digging. Proper tilling and digging increases the soil fertility and helps in more production of crops. Soil is one of the major component in production of crops so that choosing the right soil is very important.

Careful use of water resources:

Using certain methods of irrigation helps in conserving water.one of such method is drip irrigation in which the supply of water to the plants with the help of pipes.in this method the supply of water can be regulated and supplied only when the plant need it.since water is supplied drop by drop near the roots ,more than 50%of the water is conserved.

Good animal husbandry:

The major aim of animal husbandary is food production .animal husbandry is the management and care of farm animals for profit .proper techniques of animal leads to a proper farming.

Using natural pesticides:

Organic farming practices have advanced the use of non chemical means to control pests, as mentioned earlier. Through the use of these natural pesticides there will be a healthy growth in plants.

Recycled crop wastes:

Recycling of organic wastes such as crop residues, dung and urine from domesticated animals and wastage from slaughter house, human excreta and sewage, bio mass of weeds, organic wastes from fruit and vegetables production and household wastes, sugarcane trash, oilcakes, press mud and fly ash from thermal power plants. Material not suitable for direct application can better apply by composting and vermicompost.

Green manures and legumes:

In agriculture "green manure" refers to crops which have already been uprooted (and have often already been stuffed under the soil).The then dying plants are of a type of cover crops often grown primarily to add nutrients and organic matters to the soil. Leguminous green manures such as clover and vetch contain nitrogen-fixing symbiotic bacteria in root nodules that fix atmospheric nitrogen in a form that plants can use. This performs the vital function of fertilization

Increased genetic diversity:

Genetic diversity, the level of biodiversity, refers to the total number of genetic characteristics in the genetic makeup of a species. It is distinguished from genetic variability, which describes the tendency of genetic characteristics to vary.

These are the factors that helps in growing good organic crops.

Consuming organic crops are healthy for our body and also protects us from diseases.

InOrganic food

Inorganic means unnatural products. crops that uses fertilizers and pesticides are considered to be inorganic products. An inorganic compound is a compound that is not considered "organic". Inorganic compounds are traditionally viewed as being synthesized by the agency of geological systems. In contrast, organic compounds are found in biological systems

Inorganic products are not healthy for our body .It uses chemical which are dangerous for our health. Inorganic crops uses less manures and more fertilizers, using more fertilizers affects the soil. when we uses fertilizers constantly it affects the soil fertility, so that when. there is less soil fertility , it also affects the growth of the plant.
