Labrador Landscape: Wholesome Horticulture
The best kind of harvests is natural goods. Native plants grow in an unrefined process, which means that in some cases, it may depend only on organic compost, a clean environment, and tender loving care. When selecting for foods in the grocery shops, most of the consumers opt to buy non-GMO, gluten-free, and chemical-safe products to avoid dealing with the nonorganic products’ harmful effects on our health.
Although there is no clear evidence, there are claims that the chemicals used in rearing these plants have adverse effects. It is reported that these chemicals can cause allergic reactions even on short-term exposure. Some are also reported to have been genetically enhancing plants to produce sizable crops to meet the harvest standards. Regardless of how vigilant we can be, we won’t be able to determine if the products are safe, unless they go through chemical inspections.
