Frequently Asked Questions

Organic farming practices include crop rotation, composting manure, cover cropping, and intercropping. These techniques can prevent soil erosion, improve water quality, and help reduce the risk of it happening again.
They also reduce chemical pollution of waterways. Since most of us live in urban areas, we can find local farms that raise organic produce.

How To
What happens to the body when you switch over to organic products
Organic products are grown without pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics, or genetic manipulation. They are free-range and come from clean water sources. The term "organic", which means they don't contain additives or chemicals, refers to their non-containing any. This product was made from natural materials and is free of harmful substances.
The term "natural", refers only to how food was grown. This term is often used to refer to foods that are not processed into final forms (such as fruits). Natural foods are often more fresh than others, because they haven’t been processed with heat, radiation or chemical preservations. Natural doesn't necessarily have to be healthy, however. Many experts say there isn't much difference between conventional and organic foods. Both types of food are tested for safety, quality, and purity. Organic produce contains fewer pesticide and other pollutants than conventionally-grown produce.
Most grocery stores offer organic options. Organic meat, poultry or eggs can be found at most local markets. Some companies sell only organic products; others have separate sections for them. USDA Certified Organic, Non GMO Project Verified. Biodynamic Association Certified. Rainforest Alliance Certified.
These foods should be avoided by women who are pregnant or breast-feeding. Pesticides have been shown to harm infants and unborn babies.
