completely organic
organic and industrialized agriculture
industrialized
non renewable fossil fuels
use antibiotics and hormones on meat
synthetic chemical pesticide
inorganic fertilizers
globally brought
organic
use renewable materials
organic fertilizers to prevent soil erosion
no use of antibiotics or hormones on meats
have pests control
