For Safety
It must adhere to a specific set of standards. For produce, the land it grows on must be free of certain substances; pests and other detrimental factors for crops must be controlled with certain practices or with an approved substance, and there must be no genetic engineering or sewage sludge usage. Since organic farming avoids the use of many synthetic materials, organic products are desired by many consumers looking to reduce their exposure to potentially harmful chemicals.
For Sustainability
Organic farming is also considered to be more sustainable. It promotes the health of soil with techniques such as cover cropping, crop rotation, and composting, which can improve soil fertility. Use of renewable resources and the lack of polluted runoff helps local biodiversity and contributes to a healthier ecosystem. The organic movement began in the 1940s but has recently experienced a resurgence. Organic sales have greatly increased in the past decade and are only continuing to grow.
