Overview
HowGood’s Low Synthetic Inputs attribute recognizes food products that contain ingredients that minimize the use of petroleum-based herbicides, fungicides, fertilizers and other chemicals.
Synthetic inputs are petroleum derived fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, and other synthetic chemicals commonly used in the agriculture space today, along with prophylactic antibiotics common in Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs). These chemicals emit many greenhouse gasses and can damage the surrounding environment when used inefficiently. HowGood’s Low Synthetic Inputs attribute recognizes products created with practices that minimize the use of these damaging inputs.
