Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference in organic and non-organic foods?

Organic food is free from pesticides, chemical fertilizers and sewage sludge. It can also be grown without irradiation or genetic modification. Organic farming practices contribute to soil health, water purity, and animal welfare.

Inorganic foods are produced using chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and sewage effluent. Radiation can be used to destroy food, while genetically modified organisms are created by biological engineering.

The term "natural", often used interchangeably to mean "organic," is frequently used. But, "natural" does not necessarily refer to organic. Some products labeled "natural" may also contain synthetic ingredients.

Because organic produce contains fewer harmful chemicals, pesticides, and fertilizers than conventional produce it is more nutritious. In addition, organic farmers do not use artificial fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics, or pesticides.

Why is organic food important

It is essential for our health to eat organic produce. It is the best way for us to eat healthy food. It's not only better for us but also it's more sustainable as it doesn't rely upon pesticides and fertilers.

Organic farming is a natural method of growing crops that uses no harmful chemicals. This means fewer environmental pollutants, making it safer for humans and animals. When you choose organic food, both you and the earth are protected.

The health benefits of organic foods go well beyond our bodies. We all know how toxic processed food can make you feel. But did you know that most organic fruits and vegetables aren't treated with chemical spray either? This means they are more fresh tasting, last longer and look better.

That's why eating organic matters so much. Organic food is not only healthier for you but also for the whole world.

What are the advantages of organic farming?

Organic farming gives farmers the opportunity to grow food without the use of chemical pesticides. Farmers do not need to worry about harmful pesticides harming their crops or animals.

Organic farming allows for natural fertilizers to be used. These fertilizers are good for plants that are healthy and reduce chemical waste.

Organic farming is also environmentally friendly. Farmers often use composting techniques to recycle nutrients back into the soil. This reduces pollution and conserves valuable resources.

Organic farming also helps the environment by increasing crop yields. This is because there is much less water used during the growing season.

Organic production methods also mean that farmers receive higher prices for their produce. Consumers who are more aware about the dangers associated with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and other chemicals will choose healthier foods.

This raises the demand to produce organic food products. Organic farming is becoming more popular because of this.

What are organic beauty products?

Organic Beauty Products are natural products without synthetic chemicals such as petroleum, parabens, phenoxyethanol, phthalates, and artificial preservatives. These ingredients are commonly found in conventional beauty products like cosmetics, shampoos, and perfumes.

Organic beauty products do not require animal testing and are free of genetically modified organisms (GMO).

The USDA defines organic food as "a system which fosters cycle of resources"; it has been used for decades by the USDA to describe foods that are grown without pesticides.

The harmful effects of chemical compounds on our bodies have led to an increase in the demand for ecofriendly beauty products.

These include cancer, allergies and skin irritation.

Organic beauty companies believe in creating safe and healthy products while protecting the planet.

What Organic Foods Are You Looking For?

Organic foods are made from animals and plants without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. They are produced without genetic engineering or the application of ionizing radiation. No artificial colourings, flavour enhancers, preservatives, or colourings must be used in the food. It should not contain genetically modified animals (GMOs).

In 1845, Justus Von Liebig, an aspiring chemist and entrepreneur, created the term "organic" to describe the properties found in manure. The term organic is often associated with food production. Organic simply means the product is made from only naturally occurring substances such proteins, carbohydrate, and minerals.

Over the past decade, organic products have seen a dramatic increase in consumption. According to statistics, approximately 50% of the world’s population consumes at minimum one organic product each day. This number increases constantly and is expected to reach 70%, 80%, and 90% by 2020.

Organic products are preferred for many reasons. Some prefer the flavor, while others prefer them because they are healthier. Others also believe organic farming makes it more sustainable. But, non-organic products can be a good choice because there are ethical concerns over the treatment and welfare of farm workers.

While organic food is generally more expensive than traditional foods, prices do vary depending upon where you live. The price of organic food is affected by several factors. One is the availability and cost of land that can be used for organic agriculture. Another factor is the price of inputs as well as labour for organic farming. Transportation costs, marketing expenses, and taxes are all factors. The average European price for organic food is 10% lower than the regular price.
