Organic growing

Organic agriculture, the best for you and for nature

As people become aware of the importance of a healthy life, the concept of bio-organic becomes more popular.

When we talk about ecological agricultural production, we usually understand the absence of chemical treatments. This absence is reflected in low productivity, crops beeing affected by deaseses, as well as a low quality products.

That is why fruits and vegetables of high quality and good looking without beeing subjected to chemical treatments are included in the “premium” category.

The bio food is more perishable compared with the ordinary one and that is the reason it needs to be rapidly sold, which has an effect on the prices of these products.

The bio-organics sellings are increasingly growing although the ecollogically cultivated surface remained the same. It’s possible that within a few years the public demand for these products to exceed the offer. The biggest growth of the organic farming system is in France, Poland, Spain.

Australia and Argentina are leaders in the field. According to statistics, the most sold and searched for bio food, are honey, berries, chees, wine, bakery products.


The labels that containt the term “bio” will have to display the logo for organic agriculture used in USA, Canada, Australia or UE, together with the code of the certified body that issued it.

There are strict regulations which establish the allowed organic substances in these organic products. For example, for the organic wines, the sorbic acid and desulfitation will be forbidden and sulphites level has to be lower than the level of sulphites you can find in the ordinary wine, that is below 100 mg/l on red wine (150 mg/l for the ordinary one) and 150 mg/l  for the white/rose wine (200 mg/l for the ordinary one) with a difference of 30 mg/l in case the level of residual sugar is higher than 2 g/l.

More and more public figures support bio-ecological agriculture. Tracy de Worcerster, the marquess, even produced a film in which she accuses the owners of big farms for promoting wrong practices and producing food that is harmful and unhealty for humans. She also speaks in this movie about the negative impact for the environment of the animal debris coming from industrial farming. One of the companies targeted by the marquees of Worcester is Smithfield, who consequently suited her. “These companies produce huge ammounts of debris that poison the soil and the air. They practically outsource the costs of dealing with this very toxic debris. The cost are supported by the community, allowing big farms to sell cheap meat to the markets and therefore eliminating the small producers from the equation” – said Tracy de Worcerster in this film.

Take care of your health. We only live once. Choose quality products.
