Organic
agriculture
protects
the
health
of
people
and
the
planet
by
reducing
the
overall
exposure
to
toxic
chemicals
from
synthetic
pesticides
that
can
end
up
in
the
ground,
air,
water
and
food
supply,
and
that
are
associated
with
health
consequences,
from
asthma
to
cancer.
Because
organic
agriculture
doesn't
use
toxic
and
persistent
pesticides,
choosing
organic
products
is
an
easy
way
to
help
protect
yourself.
