Fertilizers and pesticides used in out food we eat today has grown greatly. Most people know of the risks of increased cancer rates, asthma, and autism in children to name only a few. The risks of these chemicals go far and wide. The effects of chemical fertilizers has been felt in water way like, rivers, streams, ponds and even oceans. The fertilizers have caused explosive growth of allergies that choke out the fish life. The use of these chemical has made the creation of industrial farms possible. Massive tracts of land are fertilized and laden with chemical pesticides in an effort to fulfill an increasing demand for food. Smaller farmers are now on the rise and local farmers markets are increasing in number all over the country. The awareness of organic healthy nutritious food is taking hold across the nation. From Seattle to the best resturaunts New York City organics is a gr owning trend that will continue to grow. Even the lowest of retail chains like Walmart are beginning to carry more organics showing the awareness to all levels of society. Organics are no available in major chains of groceries stores, regional shops and local farmers markets where in season is also the focus. At the farmers market you can see what is in season in your local by viewing the produce brought in from the fields by the growers.
