Many of us daily consume a variety of fruits and products that have been produced in traditional or greenhouse methods
And our main goal of this work is to meet the needs of the body and provide the necessary vitamins for the health of the body, but we are unaware that we introduce a significant amount of poison into our body every year .
Experts believe that one of the reasons for the increase in cancerous diseases in society is the excessive use of poisons in the process of producing food and agricultural products, and for this reason, in recent years, attention has been paid to modern methods in agriculture and the production of healthy and organic products.
Although a large number of people prefer organic products in terms of taste And they don’t like the taste, but the reality is that in today’s modern era, there is no choice in some cases.
Organic products, which are also referred to as biological products, are products whose producers must follow a certain set of standards in order to ensure the health of the product and, consequently, the health of the environment and humans.
Statistics show that about 25 million liters of poisons are used in farms every year and the country’s gardens are consumed, and considering that the products of this sector are consumed by the country’s population of 75 million people, on average one per every three Iranians liters of poison have been used in the production of agricultural products According to the secretary of the Strategic Committee of Healthy and Organic Products of the Ministry of Agricultural Jihad, until the end of the fifth development plan, at least 25A percentage of agricultural production levels are covered by non-chemical and combined pest control and the use of organic and biological fertilizers with the aim of increasing the quality of products, so it can be hoped that a big step will be taken to produce healthy and organic products in the country. Qazvin province has been selected and introduced as a pilot for the production of organic products, having very favorable agricultural capabilities and a suitable position in the supply of many agricultural products of the country, and good measures have been taken to produce healthy products in this province. With 460 thousand hectares of agricultural land, this province produces three million and 400 thousand tons of different products every year. The activity of 86 thousand operators in this sector has led to approx 25% of employment in the province should be realized in agriculture. Currently, only 10% of the three million and 400 thousand tons of agricultural and horticultural products produced in this province are produced in an organic and healthy manner, and according to the head of the Agricultural Jihad Organization of Qazvin province, it is included in the fifth development plan, half of these products are produced with methods Produced new without poison and healthy. This is a great job It is a practical measure to ensure the health of society and reduce side costs in other sectors, especially treatment and the problems caused by it. The piloting of Qazvin province in the production of organic and healthy products has led to the implementation of basic and important projects that are evaluated from time to time by the journalists of the country’s mass media. So far, the production of healthy products in Qazvin province Several agricultural and industrial complexes and greenhouses have been implemented in visiting these centers with managers And we talked to the investors of these units to ask the opinion of the producers of healthy products.

People do not know the difference between organic and normal products Grossi stated: The most important concern We People’s lack of familiarity with fruit and healthy products is why they have not accepted it much and this causes us problems. This producer of healthy products stated: If people know how harmful the side effects of chemical poisons used in traditional agriculture are and how much it is economically valuable for them to eat healthy food in the long term, they will accept these products more and this will also increase the motivation of producers. He suggested that the supply of healthy products should start from public centers such as hotels, public transportation, and on foreign trips inside airplanes to gradually expand to other areas.
Mustafa Nowrozi is the manager of Baharan Greenhouse, another producer who has dedicated his unit to producing healthy products.

He added: In this method, the rate of decomposition of animal manure increases the condition of soil micro-organisms to make it easier for plants to absorb nutrients and the production of healthy products has a global consumer market, which makes production affordable slow down
Moslehi Rad recalled: Fortunately, since last year, when Qazvin was recognized as the pilot of organic products in the country, we have seen the acceptance of producers to move in this direction, and we hope that with the achievement of the set goals, the project will be developed in other parts of the country. 80 billion tomans for 9 health plans Aparadat Mosalai, Secretary of the Health Committee of the Agricultural Jihad Organization of Qazvin province, called organic products as bio and told Mehr reporter: For the implementation of organic products production plans, the conditions of the region must be met and the water, soil and the place of implementation of the plan must be clean and free of chemicals.
