Скачать или смотреть Organic vs Conventional vs Local Produce

In this video I talk about the difference between organic, conventional and local produce.

Lots of clients ask me what the difference is and I like to focus on two things:

1. Pesticide residue found in organic vs conventional vs local produce

2. Nutrient value of organic vs conventional vs local produce

Cost is also something a lot of people worry about, so at the end of the video I talk about how to buy the best produce for you and your family on a budget.

Keep watching to the end, Blue (my dog) shows us his favourite way to enjoy local organic produce.

The study conducted at study conducted at Newcastle University in the UK found:

“Organic crops, on average, have higher concentrations of antioxidants, lower concentrations of Cd and a lower incidence of pesticide residues than the non-organic comparators across regions and production seasons.”

The Environmental Working Group has also pored over the results of nearly 51,000 USDA and FDA tests for pesticides on 44 popular produce items and identified the types of fruits and vegetables that were most likely to have higher trace amounts.

Now it is time for you to chime in, do you buy organic, conventional or local produce? Which do you prefer and why? I would love to hear all about it in the comments section.
