<human>:  What are the benefits of buying organic produce?
<bot>: The primary benefit of buying organic produce is that it is grown without the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, which can be damaging to the environment. 2 Additionally, organic produce is often fresher and contains more nutrients than conventionally-grown produce. 3 Organic farming is also healthier for local wildlife, as it avoids the contamination of nearby areas by harmful agricultural chemicals. 4 Additionally, organic produce is usually free of added hormones, antibiotics, and other chemicals that may be present in non-organic products. 5 Finally, buying organic can also support sustainable farming practices and help protect the planet for generations to come.
