Why is organic or natural food so expensive when less is added/done to it?!
Answers: Organic food has to be grown on/ in an area that has had no chemicals in it for 10 years. Growers have to be able to prove it too. Otherwise they cannot get it certified, ( the sticker on the product). Organic milk etc the cows were fed organic grains, and grass grown on land not touched with chemicals etc... Alot more work goes into it all, can't just spray and walk away.
Because even though less is done to it, it takes more work to keep free of pest and other things that would kill it. Since they don't use chemicals they have to use natural ingredients and that means more actual work rather than just having someone fly by in a plane and spray the crops.
There isn't less done to it. Organic farming still requires fertilizers and insect control. It's done using natural products instead of chemicals. These natural methods are usually more expensive and may be more labor intensive. The yield per acre may be lower too (not always)
There's a reason that commercial farming invented all those chemicals. It was to increase yield and decrease costs.
Greed is one of the reasons.
There are more people that want organic than there are organic foods. Since the demand is greater than the supply, they know they can charge higher prices and get it.
because it's original and every original thing worth more then any other
takes long time to grow and real soil [poop]
More work
Added 'natural' chemicals
Less yeild per acre than conventially grown produce, it takes sooo many more acres of land to grow foods organically.
There is no nutritional difference. You're basically paying the extra $2 for bug-bitten produce
Maybe, to have it for the select few, who can afford it. Natural grown food worked for our Grandparents. It is just greed. And maybe to keep it from the people who need it most, but can't afford it.
