When purchasing meat, ensure it is 100% organic. Cattle are ruminants. They eat the whole animal. Ruminant cattle can be found with four stomach compartments: the rumen, the reticulum, omasum, abomasum and omasum. To be labeled '100% organic, all animal parts must be organically nourished.
You should only purchase chicken that has been raised organically. It must not have ever been treated with antibiotics. Chickens are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and animals. Omnivorous chickens have a digestive system that includes a crop (proventriculus), gizzard and small intestine.
Buy dairy products that are 100% organically produced. Like ruminants and dairy cows, they have four stomach compartments. The fourth stomach compartment, the udder, is where milk comes from.
When purchasing other types of livestock, check the label to see what percentage of the diet the animals were fed. For example, pork may be labelled '95% organic.' This means 95 percent of the pig's feed came from organic sources.
What are the benefits of organic fruits?
Organic foods do not use pesticides, artificial fertilizers, hormones or antibiotics. Organic foods contain more nutrients like vitamins A, C and E, as well as omega-3 fatty oils. Organic food is healthier for the environment and our bodies.
Organic foods are grown using sustainable farming practices that preserve soil quality and encourage biological diversity. They are produced without harmful chemicals, irradiation, or sewage sludge.
Most people associate organics with fruits, but organic products also include dairy, meat and poultry, as well as baked goods, personal care items, pet food and household cleaning supplies.
"Organic" is defined by the USDA as crops that have been grown following strict guidelines set forth in federal government standards. Farmers cannot use conventional (non-organic) methods to grow these foods. However, they can use approved organic pest control methods like crop rotation and covering cropping or animal feed made with organic materials.
In addition, the farmer must follow guidelines regarding how much fertilizer and pesticide he uses during the growing season and rotate his fields between various crops. GMOs, artificial growthhormones, synthetic insecticides, and synthetic fertilizers cannot be used by farmers.
Vegetables and fruits labeled as "100% organic" fulfill all of the requirements. Some farms don't label their products 100% organic, as it could confuse consumers. They will instead label their product "made with organic ingredients." "

Organic food is organic and free of pesticides. This means that organic food is often free of pesticides and fertilizers.
Because it is free from harmful additives, organic produce has higher nutritional value than conventionally produced food.
The USDA National Organic Program (NOP), requires that farmers follow strict guidelines when growing organic crops.
These guidelines cover soil preparation, crop rotation and pest control. They also include water conservation and harvesting techniques.
Organic farming methods also benefit wildlife and natural environments.
