Frequently Asked Questions

What is organic food?

Organic produce can be grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. There is no use of growth hormones and no animal testing. These crops can grow naturally so that farmers don't have to use pesticides or weed control.

Organic farming practices also maintain soil quality by reducing erosion and conserving water resources. Organics have more nutrients than traditional food, which makes them better for our health. Organic products are more nutritious than conventionally grown foods and have lower calories and fiber.

What are some of the most popular organic products in your country?

Today, organic food is the fastest growing industry. But even though we've come a long way from our roots, there is still much room for growth.

Organic products are the future. Organic products are safer and better for the environment. They also make it more affordable for consumers.

But they tend to be more expensive. This is why we created the Organic Food Index. We wanted to know which foods are popular today and whether trends are changing.

The results of the study show that organic food has become more popular. Between 2011-2012, nearly half of Americans shopped for organic foods.

The USDA reports that organic production increased 10% last year. The U.S. now produces 9% of its agricultural output from organic food.

While organic food is certainly gaining ground, it seems that it is still an expensive choice for consumers. The average retail price for organic food is almost twice that of conventional foods, according to the Organic Trade Association (OTA).

However, organic food is growing more quickly than any other part of the food market. You can see that organic food has been steadily increasing since 2009.

According to OTA, organic products sold in supermarkets grew 14% between 2010-2011.

This increase reflects consumer demand for healthier foods, which explains why organic food sales are increasing across all age groups.

Younger generations are choosing organic food more often than older generations. Millennials have twice the likelihood of buying organic food as baby boomers. Young adults aged below 35 account for 25%.

Why should I buy organic?

Conventional agriculture has been linked with many health problems including asthma, allergies. When buying food, you must make wise choices.

The Environmental Working Group has the following tips for choosing "cleaner" food.

Always buy organic fruits & vegetables.

Look for USDA organic labels on meat, poultry, eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, and honey.

Avoid processed foods that claim to be "natural" and "no additives."

Carefully review ingredient lists. It is possible to add an ingredient during processing if it isn't already listed.

Choose fresh meats over frozen or canned ones. Cans and frozen foods are often less nutritious than fresh meats, such as high fructose corn syrup.

Statistics

• Popular clothing brands, like Patagonia, are labelled as organic by using 100 percent organic cotton for many of their styles. (en.wikipedia.org)
• Nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids were up to 50 percent higher in organic meats and milk than in conventionally raised products.[3] (en.wikipedia.org)
• 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

Organic foods: Are they healthier and more nutritious than conventional food?

Organic foods are grown without the use chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. They are grown naturally without artificial inputs such pesticides and herbicides. Organic farming practices include crop rotation and cover crops, the composting of animal manure, the recycling of wastewater, as well as integrated pest management (IPM).

The USDA National Organic Program (NOP) was established in 2002 to regulate the production, handling, processing, labelling, sale, and distribution of organic products sold in the United States. NOP regulations ensure organic agricultural products conform to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Additionally, organic products must not contain prohibited substances like pesticide residues or genetically modified organisms.

The United States offers two certification programs for producers that want their products to be certified organic: one for farmers, ranchers and the other for manufacturers. Both programs require audits of operations each year to ensure that they are meeting strict standards. This service is offered by several certifying agents, such as the CCOF Certified Organic Farmers & Ranchers or Quality Assurance International. All three organizations provide third-party verification of farms' adherence to strict guidelines regarding environmental stewardship, labour practices, and livestock care.

According to the USDA's Economic Research Service, organic agriculture accounted for $4.7 billion in sales in 2013. Retail spending on certified organic products reached nearly $1.5 Billion in 2013. This is a 23 per cent increase from 2009. The number of grocery stores that sold organic products increased 12 percent over the same period. Spending on organic produce was up 29 percent, but only 1 percent on meat, seafood, eggs, and dairy.

While organic food may be more expensive, consumers think its superior quality justifies the higher price. Consumer Reports conducted a survey in 2015 and found that 88 percent of respondents would pay more for organic foods if they had higher nutritional value. Health Affairs also published a study showing that organic foods are less likely for people to get heart disease, diabetes, cancer, or obesity.

Even though there is no evidence organic foods cause or treat diseases, some studies show that they can improve overall health by reducing pesticide and other contaminants exposure. In 2010, a review that included 31 studies concluded that organically-raised beef had lower levels of parasites and toxic chemicals than conventionally reared beef. Similar results were also reached by a separate analysis of 11 2012 studies.

The Environmental Working Group's 2014 report examined data from the Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Marketing Resource Center. It found that foodborne illnesses caused by E.coli, salmonella and listeria monocytogenes and verotoxin producing E.coli O157:H7 declined when organic and non-organic chickens, meat, lamb, dairy, and cheese were compared. The group also observed that E.coliO157 is a less prevalent cause of illness in humans among children than adults. This was because the USDA has imposed stricter organic standards on animals raised for human consumption.
