Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between organic foods and inorganic food?

Organic food is free from pesticides, chemical fertilizers and sewage sludge. It can also be grown without irradiation or genetic modification. Organic farming practices support soil health, water quality, and animal welfare.

Inorganic foods are produced using chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and sewage effluent. Radiation is used to treat irradiated food; biological engineering techniques are used to create genetically modified organisms (GMO).

"Organic" and "natural" are often interchangeable. But natural does not necessarily imply organic. Products labelled "natural", however, may contain synthetic chemicals.

Because organic produce contains fewer harmful chemicals, pesticides, and fertilizers than conventional produce it is more nutritious. Organic farmers are free from artificial fertilizers and pesticides.

Why is organic produce important?

For our health, organic produce is crucial. It is the best option to ensure that we eat nutritious food. It is healthier for us than any pesticides or fertilizers and it is also more eco-friendly.

Organic farming uses natural methods for growing crops without using harmful chemicals. This makes organic farming safer for both humans and animals. By choosing organic food, you are protecting the planet as well as yourself.

The benefits of organic food go beyond our health, though. We all know how toxic processed food can make you feel. But did you know that most organic fruits and vegetables aren't treated with chemical spray either? They taste fresher, look better and last longer.

Organic food is so important. Organic food is not only healthier for you but also for the whole world.

Are organic foods better?

According to the Environmental Working Group’s latest report on pesticide residues, organic fruits/vegetables had nearly half as many pesticides than non-organic. Organic strawberries contained four times more pesticides that their conventional counterparts, and organic apples contained eight percent less.

Another study suggests that organic food can reduce exposure to toxic metals such as lead and mercury. A study concluded that children who ate organic meat had 33% lower levels of blood lead than those who didn’t. Another study concluded conventional fish consumption should be stopped by pregnant women because it contains high levels of mercury.

Organic food tends to be healthier than nonorganic. However, to reduce your risk of cancer and other diseases, experts recommend choosing fresh fruit and vegetables whenever possible.

What is an inorganic food?

Organic food does not use pesticides or fertilizers. These chemicals could cause health problems for those who eat inorganic food.

Organic food is free from harmful substances like pesticides and herbicides. These chemicals can cause harm to animals and humans.

Inorganic food can include meat, fish eggs, buttermilk cheese, buttermilk, yogurt, honey grains, vegetables, fruits spices, and herbs.

Organic refers specifically to the method an agricultural product has been grown. Organic farming, for example, uses natural methods and soil amendments in order to grow crops. Conventional farming, however, uses pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), must ensure that organic food meets strict standards. According to the National Organic Program Standards all organic food must be free of banned materials such as antibiotics growth hormones genetically modified organisms GMOs, and industrial solvents. Organic food must be grown without the use of toxic chemicals or petroleum-based fertilizers.

How do you know if your food is organic?

Ask any chef and he will tell you that fresh ingredients are the most important thing. Because we feel better when we eat well.

The same is true of our food. We know where our organic food came from and how it has been grown. We also know that it didn't have any harmful chemicals.

Organic foods can be made without synthetic pesticides. Organic farmers aren't allowed to use these substances.

Growing organic crops is an art. There are many safe ways to grow them.

Many people refer to organic agriculture as sustainable agriculture. This means that organic farming does not use as many resources as conventional methods, but it still provides the essential nutrients needed to sustain life.

Organic farming practices include crop rotations and cover crops, manure composting, intercropping, and cover cropping. These techniques reduce soil erosion and increase water quality.

They also reduce chemical contamination 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. The USDA National Organic Program certifies one, while independent certifying agencies certification the other. Both require strict adherence of organic standards.

USDA seals and O Seals may be used to identify organic products that meet federal standards.

Statistics

• 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)
• 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)
• Brands participating in this challenge are committed to using 100 percent sustainable cotton by 2025.[5] (en.wikipedia.org)

How To

Organic Foods: What You Need to Know

Organic foods are those that come from plants or animals, and do not contain any chemical pesticides, fertilizers, or additives. They are made without genetic engineering and the application of ionizing radiance. Food must not contain artificial colours, flavour enhancers or preservatives. It cannot contain genetically modified organisms.

In 1845, Justus von Liebig, a chemist, first coined the term "organic", meaning "life-giving", to describe the properties and characteristics of manure. Today, organic is synonymous 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.

Over the past decade, organic products have seen a dramatic increase in consumption. According to recent statistics, around 50% of the world's population consumes at least one organic product daily. This percentage continues to rise and is projected to increase by 70%, 80%, or 90% by 2020.

There are many reasons why consumers choose organic products. Some consumers prefer organic products for the taste. Other people prefer them because organic produce is more nutritious. Still others believe organic farming is better for the environment. There are ethical concerns regarding farm workers and animals. This is why some people choose organic products.

While organic food is generally more expensive than traditional foods, prices do vary depending upon where you live. There are many factors that influence the cost of organic foods. One factor is the availability of land suitable for organic agriculture. Another factor is the cost of inputs, labour and materials required for organic agriculture. Other factors include transportation costs, marketing costs, and taxes. The average price of organic food in Europe is 10% less than regular.
