Ecological agriculture, due to GMOs, has experienced a great boom in recent years in the world, and in the Spanish state has also grown a lot. According to official data, the number of hectares cultivated in the last four years has increased by 30%, reaching 352,164 hectares cultivated. At the same time, production has doubled.

Organic farming is an alternative agricultural production system that does not use synthetic chemicals. It is an agriculture that not only achieves healthy food without synthetic chemicals, but respects the processes and cycles of nature.
