Natural and agro environmental
farming procedure typically build good for one's
wellness soils, produce less pollution, and protect ecosystems better

Benbrook and his colleagues analyzed 343 studies, which is the most
extensive analysis of nutrient content in organic versus conventional food to
date. Significant findings from the study include:
- Organic crops contain an average of 17 percent more antioxidants than conventionally grown crops.
- Some of the organic crops, including fruits, vegetables, and grains, had as much as 60 percent higher concentrations of antioxidant compounds than conventional crops.
- The levels of flavanones, which are associated with a lower risk of stroke, were 69 percent higher in organic foods tested.
- Pesticide residues were found to be three to four times more likely in conventional crops compared to organic.
- Overall levels of pesticides were found to be ten to 100 times lower in organic food than in conventionally produced food.
