Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I go organic?

Many health issues have been linked to conventional agriculture, including obesity, diabetes and cancer. Healthy choices must be made when purchasing food.

Here are some tips from the Environmental Working Group (EWG).

As much as possible, purchase organic fruits or vegetables

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

Avoid processed foods labelled "natural"/ "no additives."

Make sure you read through all the ingredients. 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. Foods that are frozen or canned often have less nutritionally-rich ingredients, such as high fructosecorn syrup.

What are organic food products?

Organic produce can be grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. No growth hormones or animal testing are done. These crops can be grown naturally by farmers, and they don't need to be treated with chemicals to control pests or weeds.

Organic farming practices can also preserve 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 have a higher fiber content and are lower in calories and fat than conventionally manufactured ones.

What are organic products for the skin?

Organic skincare products do not contain synthetic chemicals like parabens,phthalates, mineral oils, petroleum jelly or petrolatum.

Organic skincare products don't contain artificial colours or fragrances.

They also have the ability to support healthy skin, prevent premature ageing, promote healing after injuries and overall well-being.

These are some of the terms that you will see when you shop for organic products

• Paraben Free- These are chemicals that help to keep certain cosmetics stable. But, they can also be toxic if taken in large quantities.
• Fragrance Free - The product is not scented with essential oils.
• Cruelty free - No animals were endangered during the manufacturing process.
• Natural Ingredients are ingredients that have been naturally extracted from plants or animals.
• Vegetarian/Vegetarian - All ingredients are vegan or vegetarian.
• Gluten-Free - This means that gluten has been removed from the formulation.
• Non-Toxic -- The product doesn’t contain toxic substances, carcinogens, harmful compounds, or any other dangerous chemicals that could pose a threat to your health.
• Biodegradable: The product will be discarded as harmless components.
• Pesticide-Free – No pesticides were used in the growing or harvesting of crops.
• GMO-Free refers to the fact that no ingredients in the product contain genetically modified organisms.
• Certified Organic refers to ingredients that were grown using methods that protect soil, water, air, wildlife and farmers.

What should I look out for when buying organic products?

USDA-certified organic labels should be sought. This guarantee that the product has met specific standards set forth by USDA. On all packages, boxes and cartons, look for the USDA Organic seal.

When purchasing meat, ensure it is 100% organic. Cattle are ruminants which means that they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle have 4 stomach compartments: Rumen, reticulum and omasum. If a cow is to be labeled organically, all parts must be organically fed.

Make sure you only buy chicken from chicken farms that are fed organically and have never been given antibiotics. Chickens are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and animals. Omnivorous chickens have a digestive tract composed of a crop, proventriculus, gizzard, small intestine, large intestine, and anus.

Buy dairy products that are 100% organically produced. Just like ruminants have four stomachs, dairy cows have four. The fourth stomach, or the udder is where you get milk.

When purchasing other types of livestock, check the label to see what percentage of the diet the animals were fed. For example, pork may be labelled '95% organic.' This means 95 percent of the pig's feed came from organic sources.

What is organic meat exactly?

Organic meat means real food, grown without artificial fertilizers or pesticides. Organic meat also indicates that animals were not fed genetically modified food. This makes it safe for human consumption because there aren't any harmful chemicals in the meat.

Organic meats are also healthier for the environment. The pollution levels in our environment are reduced when we eat organic foods. We can also help wildlife by eating organic foods. Organic farmers do not often use toxic chemicals that can kill birds or insects.

You can eat organic meats and produce whenever you can. Local purchases help keep more money within the community than traveling out of state. Local businesses often pass down savings to customers when they shop locally. Shopping locally keeps American jobs in America, rather than sending them abroad.

What are organic fruits and vegetables?

Organic food is free from pesticides, synthetic fertilizers and hormones. Organic foods also have more nutrients such as vitamins C, E and K plus omega-3 fatty acid. These ingredients are good for our bodies as well as the planet.

Organic foods are produced using sustainable agricultural practices that protect soil quality and promote biological diversity. They are produced without harmful chemicals, irradiation, or sewage sludge.

While most consumers associate organics with produce, many organic products include dairy, meat, poultry, eggs, baked goods, personal care items, pet food, and household cleaning supplies.

"Organic" is defined by the USDA as crops that have been grown following strict guidelines set forth in federal government standards. This means that farmers can't use non-organic methods of growing these foods. However, they can use approved natural methods to control pests, like crop rotation and cover crops, or animal feed made of organic materials.

Further, the farmer must be careful about the amount of pesticide and fertilizer he uses in the growing season. GMOs (genetically modified organisms), synthetic growth hormones and insecticides as well as synthetic fertilizers are prohibited by farmers.

Vegetables and fruits labeled as "100% organic" fulfill all of the requirements. But not all farms will label their products 100% organic. That would confuse consumers. Instead, they will say that their product is "made with organic components". "

What is the difference between organic and inorganic foods?

Organic food does not contain pesticides, chemical fertilisers, sewage waste, irradiation, genetic modification. Organic farming practices contribute to soil health, water purity, and animal welfare.

Inorganic foods are produced using chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and sewage effluent. Radiated foods can be treated with radiation. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are created by biological engineering techniques.

"Natural" is sometimes used interchangeably in the context of "organic." Natural does not always mean organic. Natural products can also be labeled with synthetic ingredients.

Organic produce is typically more nutritious than conventional produce because the soil contains fewer harmful chemicals and pesticides. Organic farmers are free from artificial fertilizers and pesticides.

How To

Organic foods are healthier and more nutritious.

Organic foods can be grown without the use synthetic fertilizers and chemical pesticides. They are grown in natural environments without artificial inputs (fungicides/herbicides/hormones, antibiotics or genetic engineering). Organic farming practices include crop rotation, cover crops, composting animal manure, recycling wastewater, and integrated pest management (IPM).

In 2002, USDA National Organic Program was established. It regulates the handling, processing, labelling and sale of organic products within the United States. NOP regulations make sure that organic agricultural product conforms to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. In addition, the NOP rules mandate that organic products must be free from prohibited substances, including pesticide residues, veterinary drugs, growth hormones, genetically modified organisms, irradiation, sewage sludge, industrial waste, and heavy metals.

For producers in the USA who want their products "organic", there are two kinds of certification programs: one for farmers or ranchers and one for manufacturers. Both programs require annual audits of operations to verify compliance with rigorous standards. Several certifying agents offer these services, including CCOF Certified Organic Farmers & Ranchers, Quality Assurance International, and the American Grassfed Association. The three organizations all provide verification by third parties that farms have followed strict guidelines for environmental stewardship as well as labour practices and the care of livestock.

According to USDA's Economic Research Service (ERS), organic agriculture accounted in 2013 for $4.7 Billion in sales. It was a 23 percent rise in retail spending for certified organic products since 2009. The number of grocery stores that sold organic products increased 12 percent over the same period. Direct purchases of organic produce saw a 29 percent increase in spending, while seafood, meat, poultry and eggs experienced a 1 percent growth.

Organic food is more expensive but the quality of organic food is worth it. Consumer Reports found that 88 per cent of respondents would be willing to pay more for organic food if the nutritional value was higher. Health Affairs also reported that organic food intake is associated with fewer health problems, such as obesity, diabetes and heart disease.

Although organic foods are not proven to prevent or treat certain diseases, some research suggests that they could improve overall health and reduce exposure to pesticides. 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. A separate analysis of eleven studies published in 2012 led to similar conclusions.

The Environmental Working Group released a report in 2014 that analyzed data from USDA's Agricultural Marketing Resource Center. They found that there was a decrease in foodborne illness due to E.coli, salmonella, listeria moncytogenes or campylobacter. 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.
