Definition of Organic
Organic refers to the way a good is produced. Many products on the market today are enhanced with chemical fertilizers, modified genetically, or preserved with food additives. These actions are not taken by organic farmers.
Organic farming uses no synthetic pesticides or fertilizers and focuses on health of the soil rather than putting chemicals into it which can have a negative effect on plants, insects, animals and humans.
Commercially, to call their product organic, farmers have strict rules they must adhere to.
