Ten Reasons Why Organic Food is Better

Organic farming is better for wildlife
A report by Britain’s Soil Association shows that wildlife is substantially richer and more varied on organic than on conventional farms. A typical organic field has five times as many wild plants, 57% more species, and 44% more birds in cultivated areas than a regular farm..1. Two 1996 studies show that organic farms have twice as many skylarks, and twice as many butterflies..2. Every time we eat an organic lettuce or tomato, we help restore wildlife.
