Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference in organic and non-organic foods?
Organic food is grown without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers, sewage effluent, radiation, or genetic modification. Organic farming practices improve soil health and water quality as well as animal welfare.
Inorganic foods may be grown with chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or sewage sludge. Irradiated foods are treated with radiation; genetically modified organisms (GMO) are created through biological engineering techniques.
"Natural" is sometimes used interchangeably in the context of "organic." But natural does not necessarily imply organic. Products labelled "natural", however, may contain synthetic chemicals.
Because organic produce contains fewer harmful chemicals, pesticides, and fertilizers than conventional produce it is more nutritious. Organic farmers are free from artificial fertilizers and pesticides.
Which organic vegetables are the best?
Organic vegetables provide the most healthy and nutritious food for people. They are the healthiest of all foods.
Organic produce is free from pesticides and herbicides. These chemicals pose grave risks for our health and the environment.
Organic produce also has more nutrients, vitamins minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients. They also contain more fibre, essential fatty acids, enzymes, fiber, and enzymes. Because we absorb these nutrients better from organic foods, this makes them healthier.
Not only do organic vegetables taste delicious, but they are also safe to eat. Consuming organic produce has no known side effects.
All grocery stores can carry organic produce. You can find organic fruits and vegetables at all grocery stores as long as they conform to USDA guidelines.
Does organic mean it is pesticide-free?
Organic food is naturally chemical-free and grows without pesticides. This means that organic food is not exposed to pesticides or fertilizers.
Organic produce also contains more nutrients than conventionally produced foods because it contains no harmful additives.
Farmers must follow strict guidelines to grow organic crops under the USDA National Organic Program (NOP).
These guidelines include soil preparation and crop rotation, pest management, water conservation, as well as harvesting practices.
Organic farming also promotes healthy ecosystems which are beneficial to wildlife and natural habitats.
How do I know if my produce is organic?
These three labels can help you make sure you're buying organic produce.
USDA Organic Certified - Produce certified by the USDA as being 100% organic.
Certified Naturally Grown is produce that has met strict organic requirements but not yet been certified by the USDA.
Pastured/Free Range – Produced from animals that live outdoors and graze on grasses or herbs.
These labels are used to indicate that the product meets specified criteria.
- There are no synthetic pesticides or fertilizers
- No genetically altered organisms
- No antibiotics are ever given to the animal
- No hormones are ever given to the animal
- No growth-promoting medications
- No feed additives
- No artificial ingredients
- No irradiation
- No sewage solids
- GMOs banned
- Never was an antibiotic given
- No hormones ever given
- No growth-promoting drugs
- No feed-additives
- No artificial ingredients
- No sewage solids (if it's not GMO).
- No irradiation

What should I look out for when buying organic products?
USDA-certified organic labels should be sought. This guarantees that the product meets certain USDA standards. On all packages, boxes and cartons, look for the USDA Organic seal.
When you shop for meat, ensure that it comes from cows who are fed organic feed. Cattle are ruminants, which means they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle have four stomach compartments: rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. To be labeled '100% organic, all animal parts must be organically nourished.
Make sure you only buy chicken from chicken farms that are fed organically and have never been given antibiotics. Chickens can eat both animal and plant food. The digestive tract of an omnivorous chicken is composed of a crop and proventriculus, gizzard as well as small intestine, large intestinale, and anus.
It is important to ensure that dairy products are from cows that were fed 100% organic feed. Just like ruminants have four stomachs, dairy cows have four. The fourth stomach compartment, the udder, is where milk comes from.
Check the label when purchasing livestock of any other type to find out what percentage was used in the animal's diet. For example, pork may be marked "95% organic" to indicate that 95 percent of the pork's feed is organic.

How To
Organic foods: Are organic foods healthier?
Organic foods can be grown without the use synthetic fertilizers and chemical pesticides. They are grown naturally without artificial inputs such pesticides and herbicides. Crop rotation, cover crops and the use of compost animal manure, wastewater recycling, and integrated pest management (IPM) are some examples of organic farming.
In 2002, USDA National Organic Programs (NOP) were established to regulate the production and handling of organic products that are sold in the United States. NOP regulations ensure organic agricultural products conform to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. In addition, the NOP rules mandate that organic products must be free from prohibited substances, including pesticide residues, veterinary drugs, growth hormones, genetically modified organisms, irradiation, sewage sludge, industrial waste, and heavy metals.
There are two types available in the U.S. for producers who want their products to be labeled "organic". One for farmers and ranchers, and one for manufacturers. Both programs require audits of operations each year to ensure that they are meeting strict standards. Several certifying agents offer these services, including CCOF Certified Organic Farmers & Ranchers, Quality Assurance International, and the American Grassfed Association. These organizations offer third-party verification that farms adhere to strict guidelines about environmental stewardship and labour practices.
According to USDA’s Economic Research Service, organic farming accounted for $4.7Billion in 2013 sales. In 2013, organic agriculture accounted for $4.7 billion in sales. This represents a 23-percent increase over 2009. Groceries sales increased by 12 per cent during this time. Spending on direct purchases of organic produce increased by 29 percent, while spending on meat, poultry, eggs, dairy, and seafood grew by only 1 percent.
Organic food is more expensive, but consumers believe its quality is worth the extra cost. Consumer Reports' 2015 survey found that 88% of respondents would spend more on organic food if it had higher nutritional values. Health Affairs published another study that found organic food eaters are less likely than those who consume conventional foods to have health problems such diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
Even though there is no evidence organic foods cause or treat diseases, some studies show that they can improve overall health by reducing pesticide and other contaminants exposure. According to a 2010 review of 31 studies, organically raised beef showed significantly lower levels in toxic chemicals and parasites than conventionally produced beef. A separate analysis of 11 studies published in 2012 reached similar conclusions.
A 2014 report from the Environmental Working Group looked at data from the Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Resource Center and found that the incidence of foodborne illness caused by E. coli, salmonella, listeria monocytogenes, campylobacter, and verotoxin-producing E. coli O157:H7 decreased when comparing organic to non-organic chicken, pork, beef, lamb, milk, and cheese. The report also pointed out that E.coli 157 caused human illness declined in both children and adults following 2006 when USDA established stricter organic standards.
