Synthetic fertilizer and pesticides have led to nutritionally deficient fruits and vegetables. Many of them are laced with chemicals that have been linked to serious health concerns.
Several studies show these reveal consistent evidence these chemicals pose health risks such as cancer, nervous system diseases Parkinson’s disease, childhood leukemia, lymphoma, asthma, reproductive problems, and many more. A recent article in HavaHart found pesticide residues in the blood of cancer victims.
In The Facts About Organic Foods; Having More Vitamins and Minerals Protects You From Chronic Disease, James Cleeton claims that “women with breast cancer are five to nine times more likely to have pesticide residues in their blood than those who do not. The apparent link between hormone dependent cancers, such as those of the breast and prostate, may be via endocrine disrupting chemicals such as 2,4D and Atrazine (both herbicides).”
Naturally occurring microorganisms and bacteria are being killed when we use synthetic fertilizers. The soil uses bacteria to break down organic material into nutrients the plants can use.
There is a rapid decline in the structure of the soil when deprived of microorganisms. Essentially loosing the ability to retain nutrients, water, and air. Plants living in soil with these conditions become very susceptible to drought, insects, and disease.
On the other hand, soil rich in organic matter, beneficial microorganisms, and organic fertilizers, create the ideal condition for healthy plants. Encouraging a strong natural immune system, resistant to parasitic insects, and diseases.
Plants are able to absorb more natural nutrients, which means not only are they better for us, they are more favorable and taste better!
Black worm castings are an organic fertilizer that delivers an excellent source of nutrients to plants. Incorporating organic worm materials into the soil naturally increases the microbes, improves the health of the soil and increases plant productivity.
