Time for a Q&A session! We’re here to answer your questions.

The term ‘organic’ should not be used lightly. It means that a product is made from raw materials or ingredients grown without chemical or synthetic pesticides. Organic farmers are also forbidden to use artificial fertilizers, and animals must be treated according to the requirements of organic legislation. You can recognise organically packaged food products by the EU organic label.

Organic farming has several advantages over traditional farming methods. First, it supports biodiversity, maintaining a rich variety of plants, animals and micro-organisms. This ensures a healthy and resilient ecosystem. In addition, organic farming helps clean and maintain water and water quality. This is because it does not use chemical pesticides and fertilisers that can leak into water sources. Furthermore, organic farming creates more organic matter in the soil, which contributes to better soil structure and fertility. As a result, we have nutrient-rich soil that produces healthier crops. In short, organic farming is a holistic approach that benefits both the environment and the consumer.

The soil stores three times as much CO₂ as the atmosphere, and twice the amount in all plants and soil! Crazy. Still not convinced of the power of our soil, then what on earth does it take?

Until now, 40% of the soil worldwide has already been degraded. That’s huge! Degraded land comes in different forms: excessively farmed land, arid desert land, cleared rainforests, etc.
