Organic foods are foods that are produced using methods that do not involve the use of synthetic chemicals, such as pesticides and fertilizers. Organic fruits and vegetables are grown using natural fertilizers, such as compost and animal manure, and are generally not treated with synthetic chemicals. These methods of production are intended to promote the health and well-being of the soil, plants, animals, and people involved in the production process. Organic foods are often more expensive than conventionally-produced foods, but many people believe that they are of higher quality and taste better. There is also some evidence to suggest that organic foods may be more nutritious than conventionally-produced foods.
