Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I go organic?

Conventional agriculture has been linked with many health problems including asthma, allergies. Healthy choices must be made when purchasing food.

The Environmental Working Group (EWG), offers these tips to help you choose "cleaner" foods:

Buy organic fruits and vegetables whenever possible.

USDA organic labels should be used on meat, poultry and eggs as well as milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, honey, and other dairy products.

Avoid processed foods marked "natural" or with "no additives."

Be sure to read all ingredient labels. It is possible to add an ingredient during processing if it isn't already listed.

It is better to eat fresh meats than canned or frozen. Foods that are frozen or canned often have less nutritionally-rich ingredients, such as high fructosecorn syrup.

What are organic fruits?

Organic foods do not use pesticides, artificial fertilizers, hormones or antibiotics. They contain more nutrients such vitamins A, C. E, and, in some cases, omega-3 oils. These nutritious ingredients make organic foods better for our bodies, and for the planet.

Organic foods are grown using sustainable farming practices that preserve soil quality and encourage biological diversity. They are free from harmful chemicals, radiation, and sewage sludge.

Most people associate organics with fruits, but organic products also include dairy, meat and poultry, as well as baked goods, personal care items, pet food and household cleaning supplies.

The USDA defines organic as crops grown in accordance with strict federal regulations. These foods cannot be grown by farmers using conventional methods. They may however use approved natural pest management methods like crop rotation or cover cropping as well as organic feeds.

A farmer must also adhere to guidelines about how much fertilizer or pesticide he applies during the growing season. Also, he must rotate his fields between different crops. GMOs, artificial growthhormones, synthetic insecticides, and synthetic fertilizers cannot be used by farmers.

Fruits and vegetables labelled "100% organic" meet all the requirements above. But not all farms will label their products 100% organic. That would confuse consumers. Instead, they will say that their product is "made with organic components". "

Is organic meat more nutritious?

If you've been paying attention for any time, you probably already know the answer to this question. The problem is that organic food is increasingly popular, but conventional food continues its decline.

Organic foods are more appealing because they are healthier. In addition to being safer for our health, organic products also help the environment by reducing pollution and waste.

However, there are also two sides to this coin. Organic produce is more difficult to grow and takes more resources. Organic food is more expensive than non-organic.

Organic meats will typically be more expensive than those that are raised in conventional conditions. But, you can reduce the cost of organic meats without compromising quality.

Local purchases can help you save money. Locally grown fruit and vegetables help lower the price of produce, as farmers are often given incentives to grow better crops.

Look for bargains to cut down on costs. When you purchase organics, there are often discounts.

Another way to save money? Eat less meat. The feed required to raise cattle can make meat production expensive.

There are many reasons why organic food is better for our bodies and the planet, but we should be careful not to overlook the cost.

Is organic food good for you?

There are two types. Those we grow or those we get from someone else. Although there are exceptions to each category, most of the answers to your question are yes. Organic food is healthier since it doesn't include any harmful chemicals.

There are many supermarkets that sell organic food across North America and Europe. Organic food can now be found in many grocery stores making it easier for shoppers to choose organic products.

Organic food is healthier and tastes better because it contains more vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other nutrients. Organics are also grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, so they don't pollute our soils and water supplies.

The USDA regulates organic agriculture practices. This means that farmers must adhere to strict guidelines to make sure organic produce is safe to consume. There are over 30,000,000 acres of US agricultural land that has been certified organic.

Organic food is often cheaper than traditional food. The same amount of nutrients, calories, and protein is being offered by organic food, but consumers are often paying less. Organic farms can charge less for their crop because they aren’t required to buy expensive chemical inputs.

According to the Environmental Working Group organic food is 10 percent cheaper per pound than conventionally manufactured food. Organic food is an option if you want to improve your health and the health of your family.

Organic food has been a popular alternative for standard American diets. While many believe organic food can only come from specialty markets and fine dining restaurants, it is not true. Organic food is easily available in all regular grocery stores in the United States.

In recent years organic food sales increased substantially. The market value of organic food in the US was $43 billion in 2012, up from $21 billion in 2007.

Statistics

• 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)
• When packaged products indicate they are “made with organic [specific ingredient or food group],” they contain at least 70% organically produced ingredients. (usda.gov)

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 come from clean water sources and free-range animals. Organic products are those that do not contain chemicals or other additives. This product was naturally produced and contains no harmful chemicals.

The term "natural" refers to how food is grown. It's used to describe foods that have not been altered into their final form (e.g. fruits). Natural foods are often fresher than others because they haven't been treated with heat, radiation, or chemical preservatives. Some people think natural does not necessarily mean healthy. Experts say that there aren't many differences between organic and conventional food. Both types are tested for safety as well as quality. But organic produce has fewer pollutants and pesticide residues than conventionally grown produce.

Most grocery stores offer organic options. Check with your local market if you want organic meat, poultry, dairy, eggs, and seafood. Some companies sell only organic products. Other companies have separate sections. Look for USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Biodynamic Association Certified, Rainforest Alliance Certified, etc.

These products should not be consumed if you are pregnant. Pesticides can harm unborn infants and babies.
