Why organic
food, organic vegetables and organic herbs?
Conventionally grown vegetables that we
consume daily uses chemical fertilizers and pesticides, which can be detrimental to
our health. Research has established
linkages of chemicals and pesticides to weakened immune system, birth defects,
learning disabilities and cancer(see articles
below).
Hence, when you consume organic food, vegetables and herbs, you are
helping to:
. reduce the amount of toxic and persistent chemicals in our food supply and the environment.
. protect the health of yourself, your children, and everyone around us.
Do organic farmers ever use
pesticides?
Prevention is the organic farmer’s primary strategy for disease, weed, and
insect control. By building healthy soils, organic farmers find that healthy
plants are better able to resist disease and insects. Organic producers often
select species that are well adapted for the climate and therefore resist
disease and pests. When pest populations get out of balance, growers will try
various options like insect predators, mating disruption, traps, and barriers.
If these fail, permission may be granted by the certifier to apply botanical or
other nonpersistent pest controls under restricted conditions. Botanicals are
derived from plants and are broken down quickly by oxygen and sunlight.
At Go Organic International,
we use a very unique way of farming and you can be assured that
NO pesticides or chemicals are used. Even the
fertilizer used is completely natural.
A whole new farming concept, only at ..........Go Organic
Unlike
conventional farming methods where compost,
which is made from a mixture of decaying
matter such as leaves and manure, is used to improve the
soil structure and to provide nutrients and where plants
are planted on a plot of land, Go Organic uses the
Farm-in-a-box concept utilizing the
Eco Soya Fiber (ESF) which is a 100% soy based fertilizer.
The
Farm-in-a-box concept is an environmentally
friendly method of farming and is pollution free. Instead of planting on a
plot of land, the concept utilizes a portable box,
sterilized burnt soil, which is high grade quality soil that
is subjected to high temperature to kill all bacteria, and the Eco-Soya-Fiber which is the
first green label fertilizer in Singapore.
Each farm is isolated from the other and
hence, significantly reduces the possibility of pollution
between each other. The Farm-in-a-box concept produces very good quality
fresh vegetables and herbs which is free from pesticides and chemicals, tastier and more nutritious.
Build your immune
system.....................Go Organic
As consumers become more knowledgeable, awareness of the
harm
that pesticides and chemicals does to the body has led to an increase in
interest to consume vegetables and herbs that are free from pesticides and
chemicals.
Here at Go Organic International, one can also purchase the Farm-in-a-box kit
and grow them at home.
Organic Farming?................................Go Organic
With
the Farm in a box concept, having a farm of your
own in the comfort of your home is
no longer a dream.
Advantages of the Eco Soya Fiber
Furthermore, the use of the Eco Soya Fiber has several
distinctive advantages which includes:
. safe to apply around children due to lack of toxin
. over application will not burn plants
. contain micronutrients not found in chemical fertilizers
. minimize environmental contamination
The Go Organic way of farming is neither
difficult nor time consuming. Once you acquire the Go Organic Farm in a box kit,
you can harvest fresh produce for your own consumption as and when you want.
Health effects of
Pesticides
Children are often more vulnerable to the
harmful effects of pesticides because of their small size and their rapid
developmental and metabolic rates.
Numerous studies have been conducted confirming a link between pesticide
exposure and negative health effects. Symptoms of pesticide poisoning include a
decrease in overall feelings of wellness, reproductive complications and
failure, birth defects, learning disabilities, neurological and behavioral
changes, organ damage, and various forms of cancer including leukemia, breast
cancer, and brain tumors.
Pesticide
poisoning is especially threatening to children since their brain and
nervous systems are at critical stages of development.

adverse health effects

increasing cancers in the West, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
Immune Systems Under Attack
Research on how the human immune system is damaged or weakened by exposure
to pesticides, plastics and a variety of chemicals in common consumer
products. Strong evidence for explaining the observed increases in
immune related disorders from viral/bacterial infections to child cancers.
Environmental causes of cancer

Cancer Patients found to have
Higher Pesticide Residues in Body.
Pregnancy Warning
A growing number of scientists are providing strong evidence as to why
we are seeing more and more children with learning and behavior disorders
over the past 30 years. Their conclusions are straight forward -
exposure of the developing child to even small levels of common everyday
chemicals can result in learning or behavior problems evident throughout
life. This information is a result of a 1997 Graduate
Research Project from University of South Florida investigating
environmental and "chemical" causes of Learning Disabilities.
