Pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, synthetic fertilisers, and mass-production methods have all been utilised in farming in recent decades, leading in a trend toward mechanisation and homogenization.

All of this has a direct impact on humanity’s health, with new diseases spreading quickly among humans and animals (the most recent example being avian flu).

The World Health Organization (WHO) publishes reports that demonstrate how the use of chemicals and other items on food, as well as the production processes involved, present a danger for our health.

If you have enough space for a few pots or even a small garden of ground, growing your own organic vegetable garden is an excellent option. I’m going to give you seven reasons why you should do it today:

1. There will be no additives in your vegetables. Food additives can cause heart disease, osteoporosis, migraines, and hyperactivity, according to research conducted by the Organic Food Organisations.

2. There will be no pesticides or synthetic fertilizers used. These chemical compounds are constantly utilized to grow crops, regardless of pests or weather conditions, and they have an impact on the quality of the vegetables. On the other hand, pesticides are frequently dangerous to humans.

3. There will be no genetically modified substances in your vegetables (GM). Antibiotics, medications, and hormones are utilised to grow more and larger vegetables. One of the effects of this method is that all vegetables are the same colour and tasteless. Furthermore, we absorb the hormones used on these vegetables, posing serious health risks.

4. It’s significantly healthier to grow your own organic vegetables. They won’t have any of the above-mentioned ingredients or chemicals, and they’ll be considerably more natural than anything you’d buy at the store. Your health won’t be threatened because you’ll know that nothing has been added to your vegetables.

5. Your organic vegetables will taste significantly better. Pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, hormones, and antibiotics cause vegetables to grow unnaturally, resulting in a loss of flavour. When you use organic vegetables in your cooking, the flavour of the vegetables will shine through.

6. Organic farming is good for the environment. Because you won’t use pesticides or other equally dangerous substances on your vegetables, the chemical components won’t affect the soil or the air.

7. Growing your own organic vegetables benefits to both your own self-sufficiency and the long-term sustainability of the world. Small communities have formed in which members trade products that they have grown naturally, so helping to create a more friendly and better environment for all of us.

Finally, eating organic products simply means not adding anything to them that they don’t already contain. As you might assume, naturally cultivated food is free of additives, fertilizers, pesticides, and hormones. To boost your health, simply grow your own organic vegetables in a few pots.
