The Meatrix Issues



Organic



     “The philosophy of organic food productions maintains certain principles: biodiversity, ecological balance, sustainability, natural plan fertilization, natural pest management and soil integrity.” According with The Meatrix website, around the time of WWII the intensive productivity of farming and technological advances put the manual labor aside, and synthetic fertilizers were affordable manufactured until “farmers reject the idea that this was advancement  in agriculture”, so they started to study other methods that improve the productivity ending with what we call organic. Organic farming or organic food is good not only for the environment but also for people because keeps us in balance and out of illnesses.

     Organic farming helps the environment since they don’t use pesticides or fertilizers that contaminate the soil and the environment. In addition animals such as cow, pigs and chickens are raised outdoors, fed with organic food and out antibiotics and hormones that promotes fast growing. As a result plants grow in a natural way giving more nutrients, and animal are raised happy far away from mutilations that makes them sick and that poisons their meat. Moreover, organic farming keeps sustainability which is good for people and farmers. To be mention farmers need to prove that their product is really organic, so they’ll be approve by the US Department of Agriculture’s (USDA). Therefore, consumers have to look for the “USDA” logo in order to be sure that the product they are buying is organic for real.

     To take out chemicals from food will give people a healthier environment because organic farming avoids water pollution, toxic free soil and since there are no mutilations on animals or antibiotics there would be no pandemics around. Moreover people won’t suffer of side effects such as pandemics, obesity and cancer.

     In conclusion, by following the principles of organic food production will keep us on an ecological and healthy balance that not only includes human beings but animals and plants. All these will be reached with the help of USDA and consciousness.
