Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I buy organic?
The health risks of conventional agriculture include asthma, allergies and diabetes. Make healthy food choices.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG), offers these tips to help you choose "cleaner" foods:
Buy organic fruits and vegetables whenever possible.
USDA organic labels can be found on meat, poultry (eggs, eggs), milk, cheese and yogurt as well.
Avoid processed foods marked "natural" or with "no additives."
Make sure you read through all the ingredients. If an ingredient isn’t listed, it might be added during processing.
You should choose fresh meats rather than frozen or canned. Foods that are frozen or canned often have less nutritionally-rich ingredients, such as high fructosecorn syrup.
How can you tell organic food from non-organic?
Fresh ingredients are essential for any chef. That's because when we eat well, we feel better.
This is true for food as well. We know where our organic food came from and how it has been grown. We also know it was not treated using harmful chemicals.
Organic food does not contain synthetic pesticides, fertilers, hormones or antibiotics. These substances aren't permitted for organic farmers.
Growing organic crops is an art. There are many safe ways to grow them.
Organic farming is often called sustainable agriculture. It is a less resource-intensive alternative to conventional farming, but still provides enough nutrients to sustain life.
Organic farming techniques include crop rotation and cover cropping. These techniques help prevent soil erosion and improve water quality.
They also reduce chemical pollution of waterways. Since most of us live in urban areas, we can find local farms that raise organic produce.
Two types of certification programs are available for organic products. One is certified by the USDA National Organic Program, and the other is certified by independent certifying agencies. Both require strict conformity to organic standards.
USDA seals, or O Seals, may be attached to certified organic products. These symbols indicate that the product meets federal requirements.
What does it mean to be an organic food producer?
Organic food producers make products that are organically grown. These foods include fruits, vegetables and dairy products.
Organic food production takes place on farms where crops are nurtured naturally. This includes soil preparation and pest control as well as crop rotation.
To be organic, an agricultural product must meet the strict criteria of USDA (United States Department of Agriculture).
These guidelines ensure that consumers can access safe, wholesome, nutritious food.
Organic foods have higher nutritional content and better flavor, as well as lower pesticide residues.
Products certified organic by the USDA must bear the label "USDA Certified Organic" seal.
This certification indicates that the product meets the requirements of the National Organic Program.
Organic food not only makes us healthier but also helps to protect the environment.
Organic farming methods preserve natural resources, such as water or land. Additionally, organic farming methods help reduce greenhouse gas emission, which can lead to climate change.
Organic agriculture uses fewer chemical inputs and pollutes less.
Because of this, harmful gases such as ammonia and even nitrates will not build up in the air.
There are many types and varieties of organic farming.
Conventional farming is the use of synthetic inputs like pesticides or fertilizers.
Regenerative farming is the use of compost, cover crops, or green manures to improve soil health. It also promotes biodiversity.
Agroecology focuses on sustainable relationships between people, plants, and animals.
Permaculture encourages self sufficiency by designing systems that mirror nature.
What are the benefits 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 also allows for more natural fertilizers. These fertilizers can be used to help grow healthier plants and to reduce the amount produced chemical waste.
Organic farming can also be environmentally friendly. Farmers often use composting techniques to recycle nutrients back into the soil. This reduces the risk of pollution and helps conserve precious 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 mean farmers can get higher prices. Consumers who are more informed about the dangers of pesticides or chemical fertilizers will demand healthier food.
This leads to a greater demand for organic food products. Organic farming is gaining popularity because of these reasons.
What are some of the most popular organic products in your country?
Organic food is the fastest-growing industry today. But even though we've come a long way from our roots, there is still much room for growth.
Organic products will be the future. They are safer, better for our environment, and more affordable for consumers.
However, they are also more expensive. The Organic Food Index was created to address this. We wanted to know which foods are popular today and whether trends are changing.
The results show that organic food is becoming increasingly popular. Between 2011 and 2012, the number of Americans who shop for organic food increased by almost 50%.
According to the USDA, organic production increased by 10% last year alone. Organic food now makes up 9% U.S. agriculture output.
Organic food is growing in popularity but is still expensive. The average retail price for organic food is almost twice that of conventional foods, according to the Organic Trade Association (OTA).
The organic food sector is growing faster than other segments of the food supply. You can see that organic food has been steadily increasing since 2009.
In fact, according to OTA, the volume of organic products sold in supermarkets grew by 14% between 2010 and 2011.
This is due to consumer demand for healthier food, which explains why organic foods sales are rising across all age groups.
However, the younger generation is leading the charge in choosing organic food. Millennials are twice as likely to buy organic food compared to baby boomers. Young adults below 35 years of age account for 25%.
Statistics

- According to a study performed by consumerreports.org, organic products, compared to non-organic products, ranged anywhere from 13 percent cheaper to 303 percent more expensive. (en.wikipedia.org)
- 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
5 Reasons to Buy Organic Products
Organic food is grown without synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. They do not contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs), or radioactive ingredients. They are not made with sewage sludge, industrial solvents, or any other chemical substances. During its growing cycle, the food's natural environment will be protected from contamination. It is free of preservatives as well as artificial additives. There is no use hormones or anti-biotics. They are also grown in conditions that ensure they retain their nutritional value for longer periods of time.
- Health benefits. Organic produce contains less chemicals that nonorganic. This makes it less likely to cause allergies or sensitivities. This also means that you are consuming less toxins and carcinogens.
- Eco-friendliness. Produce grown without pesticides or synthetic fertilizer needs very little water. Because conventional farming requires so much energy, organic farms are usually located far from places where pollution is high. This helps to reduce the amount of air pollution.
- Sustainability. Organic farming relies more on soil fertility than chemical fertilizers. This results is healthier soils with higher organic matter. Farmers should rotate crops and let the land go bare periodically to improve soil health. Farm animals that eat only grasses, grains and no antibiotics develop strong immune systems.
- Taste. Traditional fruits and vegetables are often bland due to the fact that they are picked at peak ripeness and shipped long distances for grocery stores. Organic produce tastes sweeter and more rich because it was picked when it was still young.
- Nutrition. GMOs and BPA can be found in many processed foods. You can avoid them by sticking with whole foods such meat, fish, eggs, seafood, seeds and beans, as well as fruits, veggies, herbs, and vegetables.
