Author’s Point-of-View
Food grown free from genetic modification :grown naturally without the use of pesticides
Organic/ Non-GMO
“Certified organic production methods prohibit the use of man made fertilizers and pesticides. This reduces chemical runoff and the pollution of soils and watersheds. Smaller-scale organic farming often is associated with significant environmental benefits. This is because of the use of on-farm inputs, such as fertilizers made from compost created on-site.”

some pesticides induce immunotoxicity in humans, which may lead to immunosuppression, hypersensitivity (allergies), autoimmune diseases, and inflammation; children may be especially susceptible to the adverse effects of being exposed to pesticides. People who work regularly with pesticides, such as farmers, are at greater risk of cancer. Thousands of nonlethal poisonings and cancer cases each year are attributable to pesticides.
