Organic Farming Organic farming is a form of agriculture that does not use synthetic‚ which means artificial‚ fertilizers‚ pesticides and genetically modified organisms. Organic basically defines a way of growing‚ processing‚ and handling food. Organic farming promotes biodiversity. The dictionary defines biodiversity as the diversity among and within plant and animal species in an environment. The goals of organic farming includes maintaining diverse crops‚ keeping soil healthy‚ reducing pollution

Organic fabric is sown‚ grown‚ harvested & processed through carefully implemented and monitored phases‚ utilising crop rotation and beneficial insect predators to prevent and control disease‚ weed and pest problems in the growing stages‚ as well as safe corn-starches and peroxides in the processing phase. The use of genetically modified seeds‚ toxic insecticides‚ pesticides and fertilizers & chemical inputs such as formaldehyde‚ heavy metals‚ chlorine bleaches and sulfurs are strictly prohibited

Making Your Own Organic Shampoo Once you have chosen your castile soap base‚ you can add your essential and/or fragrance oils to the mixture. Different oils will affect the hair in different ways depending on what you are looking for in a homemade shampoo. For instance if you are looking to control dandruff and to sooth an itchy scalp‚ then you would add Tea Tree oil and Chamomile to your shampoo base. If you wanted to add extra shine to your hair with a great scent‚ then you would add Lemongrass

have in their pocket. To be frank‚ organically grown food isn’t nutritionally better than regular foods; in fact‚ some regular foods can be genetically modified to have higher concentrations of nutrients so organic loses in that regard. However‚ one of the main reasons why I advocate for organic food (if you have the means) is that its safer for your long term health and below are my reasons why. Two years ago I wrote a research paper on the environment‚ genetically modified crops and crops

An introduction to organic foods In spite of the increasing popularity of Organic food these days‚ most of the people do not have a clear idea regarding the definition of organic food. In simple words‚ Organic foods are those foods that are produced‚ processed and packaged without using chemicals. They have been accepted due to their perceived health benefits over conventional food. The organic industry is growing rapidly and has caught the attention of farmers‚ manufacturers and‚ above all‚ consumers

CLASSIFICATION TESTS A. Acids There are relatively few suitable tests for carboxylic acids. Classification is based mostly upon solubility tests. If the compound is water soluble‚ test the aqueous solution of your compound with pH paper (also check the pH of the original water). If the compound is water-insoluble and it dissolves in 5% (1.5M) sodium hydroxide and 5% NaHCO3 solutions as performed in your solubility tests‚ it can be classified as a carboxylic acid. Establish an equivalence value

Organic VS. Non-organic Food‚ Good or Bad? Unfortunately‚ most organic food is disappearing‚ because people are not taking the time to buy it. People are buying non-organic because the food is cheaper‚ easier to find‚ and full of nutrition. But why is organic food disappearing when it has more nutrition‚ better tasting‚ and ecosystem diversity. What are people really doing? People now at days choose to buy non-organic food because it’s cheaper‚ easier to find‚ and full of nutrition. When coming

C H A P T E R 5 Basic Concepts from Organic Chemistry 5.1 | INTRODUCTION The fundamental information that environmental engineers and scientists need concerning organic chemistry differs considerably from that which the organic chemist requires. This difference is due to the fact that chemists are concerned principally with the synthesis of compounds‚ whereas environmental engineers and scientists are concerned‚ in the main‚ with how the organic compounds in liquid‚ solid‚ and gaseous wastes
