Organic September
It’s Organic September!
Organic September is more than just a campaign; it's a movement that celebrates organic farming, sustainable practices and conscious consumerism.
The aim of Organic September is to raise awareness on the benefits of organic products and inspire others to make mindful choices that support their health, local communities, and the planet as a whole.
There are many advantages to adopting a more organic diet, including:
Health Benefits - organic products are cultivated without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Choosing organic food means minimising exposure to harmful chemicals, which can have long-term health benefits.
Sustainability - did you know, agricultural emissions could drop by 40-50% by 2050 if all of Europe’s farmland followed organic principles? Organic farming practices prioritise soil health, biodiversity, and water conservation. By avoiding synthetic chemicals, organic farming supports ecosystems and helps mitigate the negative impacts of conventional agriculture on the environment.
Animal Welfare - organic standards often include regulations that promote higher animal welfare, ensuring animals are raised in more humane conditions.
Better Taste and Quality - many people find that organic produce and products have a more robust and natural flavour due to the absence of synthetic additives.
Whether it’s the soil that grows the crops, the animals that produce our food products, the wildlife that lives on the farm, or those that consume the product, supporting organic methods means choosing a better outcome for all.
This September, why not try to buy more organic produce and support small, local suppliers? Look out for the organic logo (shown right) to guarantee that the product passes organic certification. This label guarantees that at least 95% of ingredients are produced organically.
