Bird & Wild coffee is proudly Organic and is certified 100% Organic by the Soil Association in the UK.
Organic food is food produced by methods that comply with the standards of organic farming, striving to cycle resources, promote ecological balance, and conserve biodiversity by not using pesticides and fertilizers in farming as well as not using irradiation, industrial solvents or synthetic food additives.How we farm really does affect the quality of the food we eat. Ground-breaking research published in the British Journal of Nutrition has found significant nutritional differences between organic and non-organic farming.
In 2014, the team at Newcastle University found organic crops are up to 60% higher in a number of key antioxidants than conventionally-grown ones.
A new study, released in the British Journal of Nutrition, has also shown that both organic milk and meat contain around 50% more beneficial omega-3 fatty acids than conventionally produced products.
