An Organic Food Primer
Description
More and more consumers are turning to organics as fears escalate about genetically modified foods, chemical pesticides, and the antibiotics fed to animals. In this program, farmers and an inspector explain how organic crops and livestock are raised-and why produce, dairy and meat products, and processed foods certified as organic cost so much more than their non-organic counterparts. In addition, the controversial Dennis Avery and organic agriculture advocate Rod McCrae give their different points of view on whether organic foods are really safer to eat and less damaging to the environment than conventionally farmed crops.
