Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference?
Organic food is free from pesticides, chemical fertilizers and sewage sludge. It can also be grown without irradiation or genetic modification. Organic farming practices are good for soil health, water quality, animal welfare, and the environment.
Inorganic foods may be grown with chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or sewage sludge. Radiation can be used to destroy food, while genetically modified organisms are created by biological engineering.
"Organic" and "natural" are often interchangeable. But, "natural" does not necessarily refer to organic. You may also find products that are labeled as "natural", which could contain synthetic ingredients.
Because organic produce contains fewer harmful chemicals, pesticides, and fertilizers than conventional produce it is more nutritious. Organic farmers do not use pesticides, artificial fertilizers, hormones, anti-biotics, and other harmful chemicals.
What are the things to look for when purchasing organic products?
USDA-certified organic labels should be sought. This guarantee that the product has met specific standards set forth by USDA. Look for the "USDA Organic" seal on packages, boxes, cartons, cans, and jars.
When shopping for meat, ensure it comes from cows fed 100% organic feed. Cattle are ruminants. This means they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle have four stomach compartments: rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. Organic feeding must be done on all organs of the animal in order to get the cow labelled organic 100 percent.
Chicken should be only purchased from chickens raised on organic feed, and not given antibiotics. Chickens can eat both animal and plant food. A digestive tract that is omnivorous includes a crop, proventriculus and gizzard. It also contains small intestines, large intestines, and anus.
When buying dairy products, ensure they come from cows fed 100% organically grown feed. Like ruminants and dairy cows, they have four stomach compartments. The fourth stomach compartment, the udder, is where milk comes from.
You should always check the label before purchasing any other livestock. This will let you know what percentage of the diet was given to the animals. Pork may be labeled "95% Organic" which means that 95 percent of its feed was organic.
What are organic beauty items?
Organic Beauty Products don't contain synthetic chemicals such as parabens. These ingredients are present in all conventional beauty products including shampoos and cosmetics.
Organic beauty products are not tested on animals and contain no genetically modified organisms.
The USDA defines organic as "a system that fosters the cycling of resources." It has been used for many decades to describe food products grown without pesticides.
Because of the damaging effects of chemical substances on our health, there has been an increase in demand for eco friendly beauty products.
These include skin irritation, hormone imbalance, premature ageing, and cancer.
Organic beauty companies are committed to creating healthy and safe products for consumers while protecting the environment.
Organic means it is free from pesticides?
Organic food is organic and free of pesticides. This means there is little or no exposure to chemicals such as fertilizers and herbicides.
Organic produce also contains more nutrients than conventionally produced foods because it contains no harmful additives.
The USDA National Organic Program, (NOP), requires farmers to adhere to strict guidelines when cultivating organic crops.
These guidelines address soil preparation, crop rotations, pest control, water conservation, harvesting, and other practices.
Organic farming methods are also beneficial for wildlife and natural habitats.
What is organic meat?
Organic meat is food that has not been treated with pesticides or artificial fertilizers. Organic meat also indicates that animals were not fed genetically modified food. Because there are no harmful chemicals in the meat, it is safe for human consumption.
Organic meats are good for the environment. Eating organic foods helps reduce pollution in the environment, such as rivers and lakes. We can also help wildlife by eating organic foods. Organic farmers do not often use toxic chemicals that can kill birds or insects.
The best way to ensure that you eat healthy organic meats is to buy them locally whenever possible. Local shopping helps keep more money in your community than it does out of state. Local businesses often pass savings on to customers who shop locally. Buy local to save jobs and not send them overseas.
Are organic foods good for your health?
While organic foods may not be suitable for everyone's health, they are healthy for some people. They can be beneficial for your health if you eat them often.
Organic food is made without pesticides or herbicides, hormones or genetic engineering. Organic produce does not contain harmful chemicals that could be harmful to the human body.
Also, there are fewer additives that are used in processing. Organic products are healthier than those that use additives during processing.
Studies show that organic foods contain more nutrients and antioxidants than conventionally grown fruits and vegetables.
While organic farming is generally more expensive than conventional farming, they often produce better results. Organic farming promotes soil fertility as well as biodiversity.
This helps prevent erosion and conserve water. Organic farms also require less energy and fuel, as they aren't treated using toxic chemicals.
Many people are concerned that organic food is more expensive than regular foods. However, prices can vary depending upon where you live. For example, organic apples can be more costly than conventional apples.
But, if we look at the total cost of a combination of both types and fruits, we'll see organic is much cheaper.
Should you buy organic?
It depends on you. Organic food is not for you if you don’t like it.
However, if you enjoy good-tasting food, you can buy organic food. Organic food is safer because organic produce is not grown by commercial growers who use pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
Organic agriculture preserves our environment by conserving natural resource and encouraging biodiversity.
How do I find out if my produce's organic?
If you want to make sure that you are buying organic produce, look for these three labels:
USDA Organic Certified – Produced by USDA and certified as 100% organic.
Certified Naturally Grown - Produce that has passed strict requirements for organic practices but has not yet received certification from the USDA.
Pastured/Free Range – Produced from animals that live outdoors and graze on grasses or herbs.
These labels signify that the product meets a specific set of criteria.
- There are no synthetic pesticides or fertilizers
- No genetically altered organisms
- Animals are not given antibiotics.
- Animals are never given hormones.
- No growth-promoting drugs
- No feed additives
- No artificial ingredients
- No irradiation
- There is no sewage sludge
- No GMOs
- No antibiotics ever 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

Statistics
- Cosmetic brands such as Laurel and Rose Mira are 100 percent organic and have a wide array of skincare products. (en.wikipedia.org)
- As for organic meat, regulations require that animals be raised in living conditions that accommodate their natural behaviours (like the ability to graze on pasture), fed 100% organic feed and forage, and not administered antibiotics or hormones. (usda.gov)
- Brands participating in this challenge are committed to using 100 percent sustainable cotton by 2025.[5] (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
What You Should Know About Organic Foods
Organic foods are made from animals and plants without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. They can't be genetically modified or exposed to ionizing radiation. The food must contain no artificial ingredients, colourings, flavour enhancers, or preservatives. It should not contain genetically modified animals (GMOs).
The term "organic" was first used in 1845 when chemist Justus von Liebig coined the word "organisch" meaning life-giving, to describe the properties of manure. Most people associate organic with food production. In this context, organic means that the product contains only naturally occurring substances such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and minerals that occur in nature.
The consumption of organic foods has risen dramatically in the past decades. According to recent statistics, about 50% of the global population consumes at-least one organic product every day. This figure is on the rise and it is predicted to grow to 70%, 88%, and 90% in 2020.
Organic products are preferred for many reasons. Organic produce can be preferred for its taste; others prefer them for being healthier. Some people believe organic farming to be more environmentally friendly. There are ethical concerns regarding farm workers and animals. This is why some people choose organic products.
Organic foods are usually more expensive than conventional ones, although prices vary depending on countries and regions. There are many factors that influence the cost of organic foods. The availability of suitable land for organic agriculture is one factor. Another factor is the price of inputs as well as labour for organic farming. Transport costs, marketing costs and taxes are also important. The average European price for organic food is 10% lower than the regular price.
These are the main differences in organic and conventional food.
- Organic produce is completely free from chemicals, hormones and antibiotics.
- Organic livestock is fed grasses or grains instead of corn and soybean meals.
