Summary

Modern farming techniques utilize a large number of chemical fertilizers and pesticides to achieve a good yield. The presence of such chemicals in food causes many short-term and long-term consequences on human health. For instance, the preservative nitrite is converted into carcinogenic compound nitrosamines by the human body. Demand for organic techniques used for food farming is rising significantly since chemicals such as potassium chloride, heavy metals, and ammonium nitrate are not used in this technique. In addition, the demand for organic baby food is on the rise on account of rising awareness about harmful chemicals and the adverse effects they pose on infants.
