Organic Food, Nutrition & Farming Resources

Is Organic Food a hoax? Does it really offer any benefits? Why should I pay more for organic domestically-grown food if I can get non-organic food grown far away for much less?

Organic food raises a lot of questions. Is organic food actually better for us? Are there meaningful nutritional or environmental benefits? What does organic farming really mean, and how is it different from conventional or veganic farming? In the pages below we take a closer look at the research and realities behind organic food, California-grown produce, pesticides, nutrition, sustainable agriculture, and the choices farmers make in growing our food. Some of the answers are straightforward; others are more complicated than the claims made on either side. The goal is to look beyond the labels, understand the evidence, and make more informed choices about the food we eat and the farming practices we support.
