Have you questioned the value of spending more of your hard earned cash on organics? Now a 30 year study done by the Rodale Institute proves your getting a superior product. Here are the key findings of the study:
*Organic yields match or surpass conventional yields.
*Organic yields outperform conventional yields in years of drought.
*Organic farming systems build rather than deplete soil organic matter making it a more sustainable system.
*Organic farming uses 45 percent less energy and is more efficient.
*Conventional agricultural systems produce 40 percent more greenhouse gases.
*Organic farming systems are more profitable than conventional farming systems.
After 30 years of a rigorous side-by-side comparison, the Rodale Institute confidently concludes that organic methods are improving the quality of our food, the health of our soils and water, and the conditions of our nation’s rural areas. Organic agriculture creates more jobs, provides a livable income for farmers, and can restore America’s confidence in our farming community and food system.
