It’s a major disadvantage that most organic food has a shorter shelf life than non-organic food products. Preservatives are not used on processing organic food,so it spoils more quickly. This is a disadvantage for both consumers and stores, as it can be quite costly in the end.
One more disadvantages organic food production has is its cost. Less food is produced per acre, and the food doesn’t keep as well, so it is more costly to grow and produce organic food. Those added costs are passed on to the consumer. For that reason, it is a disadvantage of organic food that poor people cannot afford it.
