Benefits of organic food production

Abstract

Due to legal regulations and standards, organic agriculture provides the production of healthy, high-quality food, which has not only numerous benefits for human health, but also ensures the preservation of the environment. The relevant literature was surveyed for this study with the aim to point out to nutritive values of organic food and the advantages of food consumption. Furthermore, an overview of the beneficial effects on the environment was presented. The world population is increasingly attaching importance to the quality of food that is consumed due to adverse effects of conventional agricultural production and the use of chemicals. It is obvious that there is still a need for a greater number of analyses and studies in order to justify the value of organic food products, which are of higher quality and more nutritious and healthier than conventionally produced ones.
