Benefits of Organic Farming:
In addition to improving our health, growing organic coffee may have environmental benefits. According to the EPA, workers and families tending to organic farms, are not exposed to potentially harmful chemicals. These farms are more environmentally friendly because they use fewer non-renewable resources, such as petroleum, that most non-organic farms use. On these certified-organic farms, no chemicals get to leak into nearby soils or drinking water and none are carried in the air to the nearby land where the workers and families live.
Because organic coffee farmers do not use synthetic fertilizers or chemicals used in growing or production, this means cleaner beans, air, land, and water. The coffee is grown with only organic fertilizers from coffee pulp, chicken manure, or compost. Organic farms also emit less carbon than chemical farms.
