How To
Organic Foods: What You Need to Know
Organic foods come from plants and animals without chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or additives. They can be produced without the use of genetic engineering or ionizing radiation. The food must not contain artificial flavours, colours, flavour enhancements, or preservatives. It must not contain genetically altered organisms (GMOs).
The term "organic", as it is commonly known, was first used by Justus von Loig in 1845. He coined the phrase "organisch", which means life-giving, to describe manure's properties. Today, organic is synonymous with food production. Organic refers to products that only contain naturally occurring substances, such as carbohydrates, proteins, and minerals, which are all found in nature.
In the past decades, the consumption of organic products has grown dramatically worldwide. According to statistics, approximately 50% of the world’s population consumes at minimum one organic product each day. This figure is on the rise and it is predicted to grow to 70%, 88%, and 90% in 2020.
There are many reasons that organic products are chosen by consumers. Some prefer the flavor, while others prefer them because they are healthier. Others also believe organic farming makes it more sustainable. Non-organic products are often chosen because they do not pose ethical issues regarding the treatment of farm workers or animals.
While organic food is generally more expensive than traditional foods, prices do vary depending upon where you live. There are many factors that affect the cost of organic food. The availability of suitable land for organic agriculture is one factor. Another is the cost of inputs and labour needed for organic cultivation. Transport costs, marketing costs and taxes are also important. In Europe, for instance, the average price for organic food in Europe is 10% higher than its regular price.
