For some years now, the trend of consuming foods whose origin is natural and free of harmful elements has been growing. And we could believe that this is something new, that the new generations have taken this out of the sleeve.

But the concern about the effects that some chemicals, pesticides, and experiments could cause has existed for more than 30 years, reaching to have various certifications that show that the process of cultivation and harvesting of some food is really organic.

For years, mankind struggled to keep their crops safe from animals, pests, and weeds, it was a full-time job, and therefore, it was not profitable for a society that was interested in mass production. By the 1970's the use of pesticides was accepted and was an essential part of the agri-food industry, however, it was in that same decade that the use of DDT was banned in the United States due to the harmful effects it had on human health.
Although it was not the first time that we saw the effects of compounds that we still did not fully understand, new pesticides continued to be formulated and approved, even without knowing the effects they could have on populations in the long term.

This, of course,   considering that these are not the only effects and that the various affectations can occur even years after exposure, regardless of whether it was prolonged, accumulated, or in large quantities.

It begins to make sense that we want pesticide-free products, doesn't it?


Preserving health, preventing harm to others, even caring for a population seem like principles anyone would want to follow, yet many of the big industries have turned their eyes and attention away to continue mass-producing at prices where the demand for their products only increases exponentially.
