Going organic is the need of hour; many people have already accepted that and that is why organic food is one of the fastest growing sector in US market! From US $23 billion organic market in 2003 world over, the market has increased to $52 billion in 2008, and is growing at a rate of 20% to 25% per year since then. But why do you think so many people are switching to organic food for themselves as well as for their dog? Here are some of the reasons on why this is one bandwagon you should jump into:
• First of all, organic foods are healthier and free of harmful pesticides and other such synthetic ingredients. The pesticides used in modern farming have been proven to be behind the increasing level of certain types of cancer. Not only are the farmers and farmhands who work on the field are affected by them; the consumer are also taking in residues of these pesticides and fertilizers when they are eating the food. But organic farming depends on pesticides and fertilizers that are natural or not synthetic and hence will not be there in the food when you eat it. Even the organic chicken based dog food that you buy for your dog is free from any kind of harmful residue as these products are generally made of organic wheat and chickens that are reared organically.
• When food and animals are grown organically, they consume much less energy. Since less synthetic material goes into their making, such farming has lesser waste products when compared to conventional farming. So when you are buying that organic chicken based dog food for your dog, you are reducing your carbon footprint!
• Since organic farming does not involve pesticides which have proven to disturb the local bio-diversity, population of insects, plants as well animals surrounding an organic farm have more chance of surviving than those near a conventional farm. So save your local ecosystem by shopping for organic food for you and organic chicken based dog food for your pet.
