The Importance of Organic Food Production

start reading here This information board gives an overview of the importance of organic food production. We hope you'll find it interesting and informative. In addition five information boards detailing local organic producers are also available.

What is Organic Food Production? Organic farming is friendlier to the environment, better for the land, healthier for humans, and kinder to animals. Chemicals such as pesticides, genetically modified plants, animal cloning, growth hormone drugs or antibiotics are never used. Instead time is taken to work with nature building good soil and encouraging a natural environment that will yield healthy nutritious food. Tel: 01584 872665 www.myriad-organics.co.uk
