It is a widely known fact that organic food costs us a little extra as compared to the intensively farmed and heavily sprayed chemical food. It can always be considered as a better option as compared to the farm grown food. It has more minerals, vitamins, enzymes and most importantly tastes better than the farm produced food. It is devoid of any kind of pesticides, insecticides fertilizers other artificial additives, colorings, flavorings and preservatives that are toxic for the human body. However, in recent times the cost of organic food has grown more than the normally available food in the shops. There are many reasons for this increase in price and can be easily explained by focusing on certain important factors. The production of these types of foods or products is very limited and thus does not satiate the demand. In addition, the total cost involved in the production process of organic foods are also higher due to greater labor inputs on small and less quantity or output units. After the initial process of harvesting, processing, transportation and marketing of comparatively small or large volume of organic food ultimately results in comparatively higher price of the final food item.

Organic food is better for you and your family. It contains more vitamins, minerals, enzymes and taste than intensively* farmed produce. It is also free from insecticides, pesticides, growth hormones, antibiotics, fertilisers and a whole host of other toxic artificial additives, flavorings, colorings and preservatives.
Another crucial reason why organic food is more expensive to buy than intensively-*farmed food is that agro*chemicals are designed to make food cheaper to produce. Agro*chemicals were not developed with nutrition, taste or the ecology in mind. The chemical designers’ remit was to make mass production of food cheaper.

Natural foods are those food that are created using methods of organic agriculture that do not include modern artificial things such as artificial pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
