What are the benefits of buying organic produce?
assistant
The primary benefit of buying organic produce is that it is grown without the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, which can be damaging to the environment. 2 Additionally, organic produce is often fresher and contains more nutrients than conventionally-grown produce. 3 Organic farming is also healthier for local wildlife, as it avoids the contamination of nearby areas by harmful agricultural chemicals. 4 Additionally, organic produce is usually free of added hormones, antibiotics, and other chemicals that may be present in non-organic products. 5 Finally, buying organic can also support sustainable farming practices and help protect the planet for generations to come.
