Why is there so much demand for organic food? Have students learn more about food and nutrition in this introduction to organic foods vs nonorganic foods. Organic foods include both healthy and unhealthy foods, so is organic food healthier? Use this lesson plan to get students thinking about organic foods and why they are becoming so popular.

Students will learn that organic food is essentially a product of crops grown from the soil that has not been treated with any prohibited substance for at least three years prior to the crops being planted. A prohibited substance is defined as any synthetic pesticide, herbicide, or fertilizer. These are very harmful to crops and also a detriment to your health as well.
