Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference?
Organic food does not contain pesticides, chemical fertilisers, sewage waste, irradiation, genetic modification. Organic farming practices promote soil health, water quality and animal welfare.
Inorganic foods are produced using chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and sewage effluent. Irradiated foods are treated with radiation; genetically modified organisms (GMO) are created through biological engineering techniques.
The term "natural", often used interchangeably to mean "organic," is frequently used. Natural does not necessarily have to mean organic. There are also products labelled "natural" which may contain synthetic ingredients.
Organic produce is typically more nutritious than conventional produce because the soil contains fewer harmful chemicals and pesticides. Organic farmers do not use pesticides, artificial fertilizers, hormones, anti-biotics, and other harmful chemicals.
What are organic foods and how do they compare?
Organic produce can be grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. No growth hormones are used, and there is no animal testing. These crops are allowed to grow naturally, so farmers do not use chemicals to prevent weeds or pests.
Organic farming practices can also preserve soil quality by reducing erosion, and conserving water resources. Organics are also better for your health as they contain more nutrients that conventional food. Organic products tend to be higher in fiber and lower fat than conventionally produced foods.
Are organic foods healthy?

The USDA regulates organic farming practices. It requires that farmers follow strict guidelines in order to ensure organic produce is safe for consumption. There are more than 30 million acres of US farmland that have been certified organic.
Organic food is often less expensive than conventional food. For the same amount, consumers pay less. 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.
According to the Environmental Working Group organic food is 10 percent cheaper per pound than conventionally manufactured food. Organic food is an option if you want to improve your health and the health of your family.

How To
Is there anything negative about buying organic products?
Organic food has many benefits. There are some downsides to organic food. These include higher consumer costs, lower quality standards and fewer options.
It is okay to want more variety when shopping for groceries. However, we have been taught to expect poor quality food. It's because most grocery stores carry identical prepackaged food.
Organic food is increasingly becoming popular, thanks to the fact that it has better nutrition and tastes amazing. So how do you convince people it's worth paying a little extra?
Well, you could tell them that organic food costs more. However, this doesn't mean that organic food tastes better. It might even make them suspicious of your motives.
Instead, highlight its strengths. Organic food is healthier and contains less pesticides, antibiotics, and it has higher nutritional content. Organic food is free from synthetic fertilizers and herbicides which makes it healthier for us as well as our environment.
Organic food is often avoided because it's too costly. However, if they look at the health benefits, organic food may be worth the cost.
Organic food tastes better because it is produced 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 fresher and easier to digest.
Organic food is often cheaper as it's grown organically which requires less labor and fertilizer.
