Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most popular organic products?

The fastest-growing industry is organic food. We've come far from our roots but there is still room for improvement.

Organic products are the future. They are safer and more cost-effective for consumers.

They are also generally more expensive. We created the Organic Food Index. We wanted to determine which foods are the most popular among shoppers today and whether these trends are changing.

These results indicate that organic food is growing in popularity. Between 2011-2012, nearly half of Americans shopped for organic foods.

The USDA reports that organic production increased 10% last year. Organic food now accounts for 9% of U.S. agricultural output.

Organic food is definitely on the rise, but it still seems expensive for consumers. According to the Organic Trade Association OTA, organic food retail prices are about twice those of conventional products.

Organic food is growing faster that any other sector of the food industry. If you look closely at the data, it will be apparent that organic food consumption has steadily increased since 2009.

According to OTA's data, organic products sold in supermarkets grew at 14% between 2010 - 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 aged below 35 account for 25%.

Why should you buy organic?

The health risks of conventional agriculture include asthma, allergies and diabetes. You must make healthy choices when buying food.

The Environmental Working Group has the following tips for choosing "cleaner" food.

Buy organic fruits and vegetables whenever possible.

Look for USDA organic labels on meat, poultry, eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, and honey.

Avoid processed foods that are labeled "natural" or "no added ingredients."

Make sure you read through all the ingredients. If an ingredient doesn't appear on the list, it could be added to the product during processing.

You should choose fresh meats rather than frozen or canned. Many frozen and canned foods contain less nutrients, like high fructose Corn Syrup.

What are the benefits to organic farming?

Organic farming allows farmers to produce food using only natural methods. The farmers don't have to worry about pesticides causing harm to their crops and animals.

Organic farming allows for natural fertilizers to be used. These fertilizers aid in the growth of healthy plants as well as reducing the amount chemical waste.

Organic farming is also sustainable. To recycle nutrients back into soil, farmers often resort to composting. This reduces pollution and preserves valuable resources.

Organic farming improves crop yields while also helping the environment. Because organic farming uses less water during the growing season, this is why it is so successful.

Organic production methods result in farmers receiving higher prices. Consumers who are more aware about the dangers associated with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and other chemicals will choose healthier foods.

This has increased the demand for organic foods. Organic farming has become increasingly popular.

How can I tell if my produce has been certified organic?

These labels will help you ensure that organic produce is purchased.

Certified Naturally Grown: Produce that has been grown in accordance with organic practices, but has yet to receive certification from USDA.

How To

What happens when you switch from conventional products to organic?

Organic products are free from synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, hormones, and genetic manipulation. They are free-range and come from clean water sources. The term "organic", which means they don't contain additives or chemicals, refers to their non-containing any. This product was produced by nature and therefore contains no harmful substances.

Natural means how food is grown. It's usually used to describe foods not processed into their final form (such as fruits). Natural foods are often fresher than others because they haven't been treated with heat, radiation, or chemical preservatives. Natural doesn't necessarily have to be healthy, however. Many experts say there isn't much difference between conventional and organic foods. Both types can be tested for safety and quality. Organic produce is safer than conventionally produced produce.

Most grocery stores offer organic options. If you are looking for organic meat, poultry and eggs, check with your local grocery store. Some companies only sell organic products, while others offer separate sections. USDA Certified Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified are some of the options.

You should avoid eating these items if you are pregnant or nursing. Pesticides can harm unborn infants and babies.
