Frequently Asked Questions
Are organic meats better?
This question is probably answered if you've been paying close attention. But here's the rub, organic food is becoming more popular while conventional food continues to fall out of favour.
Organic foods continue to be popular because they offer a healthier alternative. Organic products are healthier for us and the environment.
However, this coin has two sides. Organic produce takes more time to grow and requires greater resources. Organic food is more expensive than non-organic.
Organic meats will typically be more expensive than those that are raised in conventional conditions. There are however ways to lower these costs without sacrificing the quality of organic meats.
Local purchases can help you save money. Locally grown fruits and veggies help to lower prices because farmers get incentives to grow good crops.
Look for bargains to cut down on costs. There are often discounts offered when purchasing organics.
Another way to save money? Eat less meat. Because of the amount of feed required to raise livestock, meat production can become expensive.
Organic food is healthier for the planet and our bodies than conventional food, but it's important to not overlook its cost.
What's the difference?
Organic food is produced without pesticides, chemical fertilizers, sewage sludge, 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. Radiated foods can be treated with radiation. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are created by biological engineering techniques.
The term "natural" is often used interchangeably with "organic." Natural does not always mean organic. Products labelled "natural", however, may contain synthetic chemicals.
Organic produce is often more nutritious than conventional produce, as the soil has fewer pesticides and harmful chemicals. Organic farmers don't use any artificial fertilizers, hormones or antibiotics.
Is organic a guarantee that the product is pesticide-free
Organic food is naturally chemical-free and grows without pesticides. This means there is little or no exposure to chemicals such as fertilizers and herbicides.
Because it is free from harmful additives, organic produce has higher nutritional value than conventionally produced food.
The USDA National Organic Program (NOP) requires farmers to follow strict guidelines for growing crops certified as organic.
These guidelines include soil preparation, crop rotation, pest control, water conservation, and harvesting practices.
Organic farming also promotes healthy ecosystems which are beneficial to wildlife and natural habitats.
What are organic fruits?
Organic food does not contain pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. Organic foods contain more nutrients like vitamins A, C and E, as well as omega-3 fatty oils. Organic food is healthier for the environment and our bodies.
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.
Organics are often associated with produce. However, organic products can include dairy, meat, poultry and eggs as well as personal care items and pet food.
The USDA defines organic as crops grown in accordance with strict federal regulations. To grow these foods, farmers cannot use non-organic (or conventional) methods. However, they may use approved natural pest control methods, such as crop rotation and cover cropping, and animal feed made from organic materials.
The farmer must also follow the guidelines for how much fertilizer and insecticide he uses throughout the growing season. He must also rotate his fields among different crops. GMOs, artificial growth hormones, synthetic pesticides and synthetic fertilizers are not allowed in the fields of farmers.
The requirements for organic fruits and vegetables are met if they are labeled 100 percent organic. But not all farms will label their products 100% organic. That would confuse consumers. Instead, they will label their product as "made with organic ingredients. "
What should I be looking out for when shopping organic products
USDA-certified organic labels are desirable. This certifies that the product has met certain standards set by USDA. On all packages, boxes and cartons, look for the USDA Organic seal.
When shopping for meat, ensure it comes from cows fed 100% organic feed. Cattle are ruminants. This means they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle have four stomach areas: rumen (reticulum), omasum (omasum), and abomasum. If a cow is to be labeled organically, all parts must be organically fed.
When buying chicken, make sure it comes only from chickens fed 100% organic feed and never given antibiotics. Omnivore chickens can eat both plants as well as animals. A digestive tract that is omnivorous includes a crop, proventriculus and gizzard. It also contains small intestines, large intestines, and anus.
It is important to ensure that dairy products are from cows that were fed 100% organic feed. Dairy cows have four stomach compartments, just like ruminants. The fourth stomach compartment is the udder.
You should always check the label before purchasing any other livestock. This will let you know what percentage of the diet was given to the animals. One example is pork that may be labeled '95% Organic'. This means that 95 percent came from organic sources.
