Frequently Asked Questions
What are the advantages 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 allows for natural fertilizers to be used. These fertilizers can be used to help grow healthier plants and to reduce the amount produced chemical waste.
Organic farming is also eco-friendly. Many farmers use composting methods to replenish soil nutrients. This reduces pollution and conserves valuable resources.
Organic farming improves crop yields while also helping the environment. This is because organic farming requires less water to grow the crops.
Organic production methods also mean that farmers receive higher prices for their produce. Consumers who become more aware of the dangers of pesticides and chemical fertilizers demand healthier foods.
This drives up the demand for organic products. Organic farming is growing in popularity.
What are my top priorities when buying organic products
USDA-certified organic labels are desirable. This certifies that the product has met certain standards set by USDA. Look out for the USDA Organic seal on boxes, cartons cans and jars.
When purchasing meat, ensure it is 100% organic. Ruminants are cattle that chew their cud. Ruminant cattle have four stomach areas: rumen (reticulum), omasum (omasum), and abomasum. To be labeled '100% organic, all animal parts must be organically nourished.
When buying chicken, make sure it comes only from chickens fed 100% organic feed and never given antibiotics. Omnivore chickens eat both animals and plants. Omnivorous chickens have a digestive system that includes a crop (proventriculus), gizzard and small intestine.
Buy only dairy products from cows that have been fed organically grown feed. Just like ruminants, dairy cows also have four stomachs. Milk comes from the fourth stomach compartment--the udder.
When purchasing other types of livestock, check the label to see what percentage of the diet the animals were fed. One example is pork that may be labeled '95% Organic'. This means that 95 percent came from organic sources.
Why should organic be my first choice?
The health risks of conventional agriculture include asthma, allergies and diabetes. It is important to make informed choices about food purchases.
The Environmental Working Group has the following tips for choosing "cleaner" food.
When possible, buy organic fruits and veggies
USDA organic labels for meat, poultry eggs, milk and cheese as well butter and honey are recommended.
Avoid processed foods marked "natural" or with "no additives."
Carefully review ingredient lists. 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. Cans and frozen foods are often less nutritious than fresh meats, such as high fructose corn syrup.
What is inorganic food?
Organic food does not use pesticides or fertilizers. Inorganic foods contain these chemicals, which may cause health problems.
Organic food is organically grown without the use of harmful chemicals such as pesticides or herbicides. These chemicals can harm humans and animals.
Inorganic foods include meat, fish and eggs, dairy, butter, yogurts, honey, yogurt, honey, grains and vegetables, as well as spices, herbs, fruits, and spices.
The term organic refers to the way an agricultural product is grown. Organic farming uses natural methods to grow crops. Conventional farming uses pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.
Organic foods must comply with strict guidelines set forth by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The National Organic Program Standards require that all organic foods are free of prohibited substances such as antibiotics and growth hormones, genetically modified organisms or industrial solvents. Additionally, organic food must be raised without toxic chemicals, petroleum-based fertilizers, sewage sludges, or ionizing radiation.
How can I tell if my produce has been certified organic?
These are the labels you should look for to ensure you are purchasing organic produce
USDA Organic Certified: Produces certified by USDA as 100% organic.
Certified Naturally Grown: Produce that has been grown in accordance with organic practices, but has yet to receive certification from USDA.
Pastured/Free Range – Produced from animals that live outdoors and graze on grasses or herbs.
These labels indicate that the product meets certain criteria.
- There are no synthetic pesticides or fertilizers
- No genetically modified organisms
- No antibiotics are ever given to the animal
- The animal is never given any hormones
- No growth-promoting drugs
- No feed additives
- No artificial ingredients
- No irradiation
- No sewage solids
- GMOs are not allowed
- Never was an antibiotic given
- No hormones ever given
- No growth-promoting medications
- No feed-additives
- No artificial ingredients
- No sewage sludge (if it's a non-GMO)
- No irradiation

Statistics
- When packaged products indicate they are “made with organic [specific ingredient or food group],” they contain at least 70% organically produced ingredients. (usda.gov)
- 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)
- Cosmetic brands such as Laurel and Rose Mira are 100 percent organic and have a wide array of skincare products. (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)

How To
What happens when you switch from conventional products to organic?
Organic products are grown without pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics, or genetic manipulation. They come from clean water sources and free-range animals. The term "organic" means they do not contain any chemicals or additives. This product was made from natural materials and is free of harmful substances.
The term "natural" refers how food is grown. This term is often used to refer to foods that are not processed into final forms (such as fruits). Natural foods are usually fresher than processed foods, as they haven’t been exposed to heat, radiation, chemical preservatives, or other treatments. Natural doesn't necessarily have to be healthy, however. Many experts say there isn't much difference between conventional and organic foods. Both types are tested for safety as well as quality. But organic produce has fewer pollutants and pesticide residues than conventionally grown produce.
In general, most grocery stores now offer organic options. Check with your local market if you want organic meat, poultry, dairy, eggs, and seafood. Some companies sell only organic products; others have separate sections for them. USDA Certified Organic is a non-GMO Project Verified company.
These foods should be avoided by women who are pregnant or breast-feeding. Pesticides are known to affect unborn babies and infants.
