ORGANIC FARMING

Considered for many years as a strange occupation practised by a few eccentric individuals, organic farming has undergone a significant rise in popularity in recent times. Once the idea of being fashionable was overcome, the population in general have gradually become aware that that scrupulous respect for the land and its produce not only increases their healthy nature, but also endows them with quality.

This has given rise to farms that limit or completely eliminate any products that may harm the overall environment and, more specifically, the land and the particular produce in question.

This spreading awareness that land poisoned and saturated with chemical products can not yield healthy or gastronomically viable crops has given rise to a demand for products obtained through organic farming methods, which in turn has prompted the government over the past decade to regulate and establish the conditions needed to describe particular farming methods as organic.
