Organic farming is important to our health, but also to the health of our soil. At All Things Earthly, we’re committed to saving our soil through supporting sustainable farmers.
Did you know that the nutrient-density of our food is dependent on the nutrient-density of the soil in which it is grown? If the soil is depleted through pesticide-use and other chemicals, our food is directly impacted. Furthermore, those synthetic chemicals make their way into our food and into our bodies, contributing to many modern-day diseases. In order to make food our medicine, we need to ensure that our soil remains healthy too.
Commercial farming makes use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, GMOs and irradiation to ensure food is grown at a specific speed, in a specific way, and to a specific look. This is directly impacting our health as we are becoming accustomed to low-nutrient food that serves no purpose in our bodies, except to fill our tummies.
Organic farming is a sustainable way of farming that avoids the use of all these synthetic ingredients and supports the health of both the soil and the produce. It also places great emphasis on the full ecosystem, allowing space for normal plant growth and animal welfare.
Overall, commercial farming can lead to long-term environmental damage, and sustainable farming practices that prioritize soil health and biodiversity can help to conserve soil resources and maintain long-term agricultural productivity.
“The best fertiliser for our soil is the farmers footprint” and we wish to support these sustainable farms to help ensure that our farms remain healthy and fertile for future generations. Join us in saving our soil!
