Modern foods are laced with chemicals and pesticides that can cause irreversible damage to our system in the long run. Organic food refers to products grown without the use of chemical stimulants, hormones, fertilizers and pesticides which alter the natural growth of the organism.
Another addition to this list has been genetic engineering whereby fruits and vegetables are altered genetically so that they all have same color, texture and size. All fruits and vegetables grown thus lack the full compliment of nutrients that organically grown fruits and vegetables have.
In hilly areas and mountainous regions rainwater is difficult to hold back. The use of fertilisers requires more water in harvesting, than is possible in Himalayan farms. Thus nature in this region compels farmers to produce organic fruits, vegetables, grains, and pulses, helping us eat better.
