Reasons to Love Organic

There is so much said, it’s often difficult to get clear and simple information about organic products. So the Organic Trade Board, a group of key organic companies and organisations, carried out research to investigate Britain’s attitude towards organic food.

Here are the top ten reasons why people buy organic -

1. It’s natural and unprocessed (40%)
2. The restricted use of pesticides (34%)
3. It tastes better (30%)
4. It’s better for my wellbeing (28%)
5. More care is taken in farming organic (24%)
6. It’s better for the planet (25%)
7. It’s kinder to animals (22%)
8. Organic products are GM free (18%)
9. It encourages wildlife (16%)
10. It helps prevent climate change (12%)

It’s clear that there isn’t one single reason why people choose and love organic but lots of informed reasons. The simple truth is organic delivers so many benefits. Find out more in
