Organic. It's Worth It in Schools.
You are what you eat.
That's why we want students across the United States to have access to organic: the only food certified by USDA to have no artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, irradiation and genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Plus, organically grown gardens and farms use no harmful pesticides and synthetic fertilizers on the soil.
That also why we've begun the Organic. It's Worth It in Schools campaign.
