Frequently Asked Questions
What are some of the most popular organic products in your country?
Today, organic foods are the fastest-growing industries. But even though we've come a long way from our roots, there is still much room for growth.
Organic products are the future. They are safer and more cost-effective for consumers.
They also tend to have higher prices. That's why we created the Organic Food Index. We wanted the ability to identify which foods are currently most popular and whether these trends have changed.
The results of the study show that organic food has become more popular. Between 2011 and 2012, the number of Americans who shop for organic food increased by almost 50%.
According to the USDA, organic production increased by 10% last year alone. Organic food now makes up 9% U.S. agriculture output.
Although organic food is gaining popularity, it appears that consumers still have to pay a premium for it. The average retail price for organic food is almost twice that of conventional foods, according to the Organic Trade Association (OTA).
That said, organic food is growing faster than any other segment of the food sector. If you examine the data closely, you will see that organic foods have grown steadily in consumption since 2009.
According to OTA the volume of organic products sold at supermarkets grew by 14% in 2010 and 2011.
This is because of consumer demand for healthier products, which explains the rise in organic food sales across all age categories.
Younger generations are also leading the way in organic food choices. Millennials are twice as likely than baby boomers to buy organic foods. Young adults below 35 years of age account for 25%.

How can you tell organic food from non-organic?
If you ask any chef, he'll tell you there's nothing more important than fresh ingredients. It's because we feel better when food is well-prepared.
The same applies to our food. Organics can be traced back to their source and whereabouts. It was not treated with harmful chemicals.
Organic foods can be made without synthetic pesticides. These substances are forbidden for organic farmers.
But that doesn't mean there isn't an art to growing organic crops. There are plenty of ways to grow them safely.
Sustainable agriculture is sometimes called organic farming. Organic farming is more sustainable than traditional methods and provides all the nutrients necessary to sustain life.
Organic farming techniques include crop rotation and cover cropping. These techniques help prevent soil erosion and improve water quality.
They reduce chemical runoff from waterways. Local farms can be found in cities that raise organic produce.
There are two types for organic products certification. The USDA National Organic Program certifies one, while independent certifying agencies certification the other. Both require strict adherence of organic standards.
Certified organic products may bear the USDA seal or the symbol O Seal, which indicates that the product meets federal requirements.
What are organic products good for skin?
Organic skincare products don't contain any synthetic chemicals such as parabens or phthalates.
Organic skincare products can be free of artificial colours and fragrances as well as preservatives, emulsifiers GMOs, Petrochemicals, animal testing (except for cosmetics tested on animals), pesticides hormones, antibiotics, heavy metallics and other contaminants.
They are also formulated to help maintain healthy skin, prevent premature aging, promote healing after injury, and support overall well-being.
These are some standard terms you might come across when shopping for organic items:
- Paraben Free- These are chemicals that help to keep certain cosmetics stable. But, they can also be toxic if taken in large quantities.
- Fragrance Free - The product is not scented with essential oils.
- Cruelty-Free: No animals were hurt during manufacturing.
- Natural Ingredients are ingredients that have been naturally extracted from plants or animals.
- Vegan/Vegetarian - the ingredients are either vegan or vegetarian.
- Gluten-Free: This is when gluten was eliminated from the formulation.
- Non-Toxic -- The product doesn’t contain toxic substances, carcinogens, harmful compounds, or any other dangerous chemicals that could pose a threat to your health.
- Biodegradable means that the product can be thrown away as it will become harmless components.

What is the difference between organic and inorganic foods?
Organic food is made without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Organic farming practices are good for soil health, water quality, animal welfare, and the environment.
Inorganic foods are grown with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and sewage sludge. Radiated foods can be treated with radiation. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are created by biological engineering techniques.
The term "natural", often used interchangeably to mean "organic," is frequently used. But, "natural" does not necessarily refer to organic. You may also find products that are labeled as "natural", which could contain synthetic ingredients.
Organic produce is typically more nutritious than conventional produce because the soil contains fewer harmful chemicals and pesticides. Organic farmers are free from artificial fertilizers and pesticides.
Why should organic be my first choice?
Conventional agriculture has been linked with many health problems including asthma, allergies. It is important to make informed choices about food purchases.
The Environmental Working Group offers these tips:
When possible, buy organic fruits and veggies
USDA organic labels for meat, poultry eggs, milk and cheese as well butter and honey are recommended.
Avoid processed foods labeled as "natural" or "no additives."
Always read the ingredient lists. If an ingredient doesn't appear on the list, it could be added to the product during processing.
It is better to eat fresh meats than canned or frozen. Cans and frozen foods are often less nutritious than fresh meats, such as high fructose corn syrup.
Statistics

- When packaged products indicate they are “made with organic [specific ingredient or food group],” they contain at least 70% organically produced ingredients. (usda.gov)
- 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)
- Once certified by the USDA, it can fall into one of four categories: "100 percent organic", "organic," "made with organic ingredients," or "made with less than 70 percent organic ingredients. (en.wikipedia.org)

How To
Are there any negatives to buying organic goods?
Organic food has many benefits. However, organic foods have their drawbacks. 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. This is why most grocery stores stock identical prepackaged products.
Organic food is increasingly becoming popular, thanks to the fact that it has better nutrition and tastes amazing. How can you convince people it is worth spending a little more?
It's possible to tell them that organic food is more expensive. Organic food tastes better, but that doesn't make it any less expensive. It might even make them suspicious of your motives.
It would be better to highlight its benefits. Organic food has more nutrients, and is free of pesticides and other antibiotics. Plus, it's grown without synthetic fertilizers and herbicides, which means it's healthier for us and our environment.
Many people turn down organic food simply because it is too costly. But if they think about the health benefits, it may be worth spending a few bucks per week.
The reason why organic food tastes better is that it's produced under strict guidelines that prevent contamination. Organic food is more likely to contain vitamins, minerals, or antioxidants.
Organic food is also better for you because it's picked later. This makes it fresher and easier to digest.
Organic food is generally more affordable because the farmers grow it organically. This requires less labour as well as fertilizer.
