Reasons for the consumption of BIOLOGICAL products.
1. THEY ARE HEALTHY
The BIOLOGICAL products are healthier because them are free of toxic wastes coming from pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, which in a medium or long term could hurt our organism. Cultivating the foods in well-balanced lands, with natural fertilizers, the products are more nutritive.
2. THEY DON`T HAVE GMO (ORGANISM GENETICALLY MODIFIED)
In the BIOLOGICAL agriculture the organisms genetically modified (GMO) are not allowed. The cultivation of GMO could have negative consequences for the environment. The BIOLOGICAL agriculture wants to conserve and motivate the genetic variety of species and types, and with that, the richness of the cultivation landscape.
3. THEY ARE SUSTAINABLE WITH THE ENVIRONMENT
When we consume foods from BIOLOGICAL cultivation we collaborate in the conservation of the environment and we avoid the contamination of the earth, the water, and the air. The BIOLOGICAL agriculture is the most respectful with the fauna, this generates lowest contamination of aerosols, produces less carbon dioxide, prevents the greenhouse effect and it doesn’t generate toxic wastes. In the cultivation and production of the products the maximum of renewable resources is usable as well.
The BIOLOGICAL agriculture fertilizes the land and stops the desertification, this benefits the retention of water and doesn’t contaminate the aquifers, favouring the biodiversity and ecologic balance, promotes the natural fertility in the lands, recycles the nutrients incorporating them of the land again like compost or organic fertilizers, and uses in an excellent way the natural resources.
4. THEY HAVE EXCELLENTS LEVELS OF QUALITY
The BIOLOGICAL agriculture uses a production system with the maximum reliability because this is subjected to a traceability from the land to the table as indicating the European Rules 2092/91. Because of that, all the agents that intervene in the agroalimentary chain are subjected to a control and inspection of raw materials.
5. THEY ARE MORE TASTY
The BIOLOGICAL products, on having been elaborated in a handmade way and careful, regain the original tastes and intensify the flavour. This way, the authentic aroma, colour and flavour is also well conserved. Because of this, a lot of consumers prefer BIOLOGICAL foods.
BIO QUALITY CERTIFICATE
The BIOLOGICAL products are certified by an authorized control organism that guarantee the origin of the ecological agriculture, it means, everything have been produced with no pesticides, no preservatives, no organisms genetically modified and respecting the environment.
