Document Summary
K (200), sucralose (600), alititame (2,000), stevioside (300) No release of pesticides which may harm soil, water, and wildlife. Enhanced soil fertility, higher biodiversity, and increased water conservation. Nourished naturally, rendering the structural and metabolic integrity of their cellular structure. Lower susceptibility to diseases such as cancer. Production standards for growing, storage, processing, packaging, and shipping. Avoidance of genetically modified organisms and sewage sludge. Use of farmland that has been free from chemicals for three or more years. Annual organic sales in the past decade in the u. s. > 20% and projected to more than double by 2009. 10-40% more expensive than conventionally grown/processed foods due to higher labor costs, lower crop yield, regulations and small scale production. Bacterial or cross-contamination due to use of manures or chemicals from other farms. Limited choice of crops and lower yields. Climate flexibility products e. g. triticale (wheat and rye cross)
