Organic Needs to Close to Home

In my view, the term organic only means something when it is grown locally. Organically grown produce needs to grown in an area only when ground water, land, and other environmental factors are monitored by a government organization or independent firms that can be not only be trusted by can be properly overseen. In other words, if produce is "organically" grown overseas, you can only hope that proper oversight is occurring. The only way you'll know if it is not properly overseen will be is someone turns up ill and they can trace is back. If you live in Massachusetts, you want organically produce from Massachusetts: if you're from Michigan, you want from Michigan. If that is not available, at least make sure it from the U.S., if you live in the U.S., the U.K., if you live in the U.K, etc.

If other words, "organic", without oversight, doesn't mean anything.
