Frequently Asked Questions
Is organic food good for you?
There are two types: foods that we grow and those that we purchase from others. Of course, there are exceptions to both categories, but for the most part, the answer to your question is yes. Organic food is healthier than conventional food because it doesn’t contain harmful chemicals, pesticides or herbicides. It also doesn’t contain preservatives or genetically modified organisms.
There are many supermarkets that sell organic food across North America and Europe. Many grocery stores now stock organic food. This makes it easier to shop organic.
Organic food is better tasting and healthier because it contains more vitamins and minerals. Organics can be grown without pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. This ensures that organics do not pollute our soil or water supply.
The USDA regulates organic farming practices and requires farmers to follow strict guidelines to ensure that organic produce is safe to eat. There are more than 30 million acres of US farmland that have been certified organic.
Organic food can often be cheaper than conventional food. Customers pay less for the same amount in calories, protein and nutrients. Organic farms can charge lower prices for their crops since they aren't required to pay for expensive chemical inputs such as insecticides or fungicides.
In fact, according to the Environmental Working Group, organic food costs 10 percent less per pound than conventionally produced food. Switching to organic food is a smart move if you care about your health and that of your family.
Organic food is a popular choice to traditional American cuisines. It is often believed that organic food is exclusive to specialty markets and gourmet restaurants. Organic food is easily available in all regular grocery stores in the United States.
In recent years organic food sales increased substantially. In the US, organic food sales reached $43Billion in 2012, an increase of $21Billion in 2007.
What are some of the most popular organic products in your country?
Organic food is the fastest-growing industry today. There is still much to be done, even though we have come so far from our roots.
Organic products are the future. They are safer, healthier for the environment, and easier to afford for consumers.
But they tend to be more expensive. That is why we developed the Organic Food Index. We wanted to see which foods are most in demand today and how these trends are changing.
The results showed that organic food is increasing in popularity. Between 2011-2012, nearly half of Americans shopped for organic foods.
According to USDA, organic production grew by 10% last year. Currently, organic food accounts for 9% in the U.S. agricultural production.
Organic food is growing in popularity but is still expensive. According to the Organic Trade Association, (OTA), organic food retail prices are nearly twice as expensive than conventional options.
Despite this, organic food is growing at a faster rate than any other food segment. You can see that organic food has been steadily increasing since 2009.
According to OTA the volume of organic products sold at supermarkets grew by 14% in 2010 and 2011.
This increase reflects consumer demand for healthier foods, which explains why organic food sales are increasing across all age groups.
Younger generations are choosing organic food more often than older generations. Millennials have twice the likelihood of buying organic food as baby boomers. Young adults aged below 35 account for 25%.
What should I be looking out for when shopping organic products
USDA-certified organic labels are recommended. This seal signifies that the product meets specific USDA standards. You will find the USDA Organic seal on all boxes, cartons and cans.
When purchasing meat, ensure it is 100% organic. Cattle are ruminants. This means they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle have 4 stomach compartments: Rumen, reticulum and omasum. If the cow is to be labeled "100% organic", all of its parts must have been organically fed.
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. A digestive tract that is omnivorous includes a crop, proventriculus and gizzard. It also contains small intestines, large intestines, and anus.
When buying dairy products, ensure they come from cows fed 100% organically grown feed. Dairy cows have four stomach compartments, just like ruminants. The fourth stomach compartment is the udder.
If you are buying other types of livestock, make sure to check the label to determine the percentage of their diet. A label for pork might say "95% organic", which means that 95% of the feed used by the pork came from organic sources.
Statistics
- According to a study performed by consumerreports.org, organic products, compared to non-organic products, ranged anywhere from 13 percent cheaper to 303 percent more expensive. (en.wikipedia.org)
- Nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids were up to 50 percent higher in organic meats and milk than in conventionally raised products.[3] (en.wikipedia.org)
- When packaged products indicate they are “made with organic [specific ingredient or food group],” they contain at least 70% organically produced ingredients. (usda.gov)
- As for organic meat, regulations require that animals be raised in living conditions that accommodate their natural behaviours (like the ability to graze on pasture), fed 100% organic feed and forage, and not administered antibiotics or hormones. (usda.gov)

How To
Are there any disadvantages to purchasing organic products
The benefits of organic food are well known. There are however some downsides. These include higher consumer price, lower quality standards, fewer options, and fewer choice.
You can't go wrong with wanting more options when it comes grocery shopping. We have been trained to expect inferior food that tastes bad. It's because most grocery stores carry identical prepackaged food.
Organic food is popular because it is healthier and tastes better. So how do you convince people it's worth paying a little extra?
But you could still tell them that organic foods are more expensive. Organic food tastes better, but that doesn't make it any less expensive. It could even make them suspicious of you motives.
It is better to emphasize its positive aspects. Organic food is more nutritious, has fewer pesticides, and uses fewer antibiotics. Organic food is free from synthetic fertilizers and herbicides which makes it healthier for us as well as our environment.
Many people avoid organic food because they assume it's too expensive. However, if they look at the health benefits, organic food may be worth the cost.
Organic food tastes great because it is made according to strict guidelines. As a result, it tends to retain more vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Organic food is also more delicious because it's harvested later in the season. This makes it easier to digest and fresher.
Organic food is typically cheaper, because organic farming requires less labour and fertilizer.
