In recent years, organic food has frequently appeared in people's daily lives. However, while eating imported food, do you really know what organic food is? The so-called organic food is a green cycle that nurtures life. It nurtures various edible plants, including vegetables, fruits, poultry eggs, various meats, etc., through microbial cultivation or natural conversion of nutrients. It is food that has not been contaminated by fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, etc. Any additives that harm the soil cannot be used.
At present, certified organic food mainly includes general organic crop products, such as grains (including organic rice, organic millet, etc.), fruits, vegetables, organic tea products, collected wild products, and processed products using the above products as raw materials. The organic foods sold in the domestic market mainly include vegetables, rice, tea, honey, etc.
So far, the enormous potential of the Chinese market has attracted unscrupulous sales by those who seek huge profits. At the same time, the government's strict new organic certification standards have been introduced, and the soaring costs have made it difficult for small and beautiful organic farms to bear the risk of turning to unlicensed operations. The reason why organic food is so highly sought after is mainly because it hits consumers' concerns about food safety, and the vast majority of Chinese consumers are willing to pay a high price for it.
However, the truth about organic food is that scientific experiments have not confirmed the claim that organic food is "safer, healthier, and more nutritious". The so-called "zero pollution" is more of a sales gimmick, and the fragile ecological environment, including the continuous deterioration of air, soil, and water quality, cannot completely avoid the impact of the environment on organic agriculture because air, soil, and water are mobile. Due to the use of naturally toxic pesticides in organic food that refuse chemical pesticides, this also poses a safety hazard to organic food.
