Frequently Asked Questions
What is an organic food processor?
Organic food producers create products that are grown without pesticides and chemical fertilizers. These foods include fruits, vegetables, grains, and dairy products.
Organic food production is only possible on farms where the crops are grown naturally. This includes soil preparation, pest controls, and crop rotation.
The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture), must set strict criteria for organic agricultural products.
These guidelines make it possible for consumers to have safe, healthy, and delicious food.
The benefits of eating organic range from lower levels of pesticide residues and heavy metal contamination to higher nutrient content and better flavour.
USDA Certified Organic products must be labeled with the seal "USDA certified organic".
This certification signifies that the product meets all standards set by the National Organic Program.
As well as ensuring that we eat healthier, organic food also helps protect our environment.
Organic farming methods preserve natural resources, such as water or land. In addition, organic methods reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which cause climate change.
Organic agriculture is more sustainable and uses less chemicals.
Because of this, harmful gases such as ammonia and even nitrates will not build up in the air.
There are many kinds of organic farming: permaculture, regenerative and conventional.
Conventional agriculture refers to the use synthetic inputs, such as pesticides/fertilizers.
Regenerative farming uses compost, cover crops, green manures, and other methods to improve the soil's health. It encourages biodiversity.
Agroecology is concerned with sustainable relationships between humans, plants, animals, and the environment.
Permaculture encourages self-sufficiency by creating systems that are similar to nature.
Do organic foods offer health benefits?
Some organic foods may not prove to be good for you. For those who consume them regularly, however, they can offer certain health benefits.
Organic food does not contain artificial fertilizers or pesticides. It also doesn't contain fungicides. Organic produce is produced without the use of harmful chemicals which could affect human health.
Organic products also have fewer additives. Organic products are likely to be healthier than nonorganic.
Studies have shown that organic fruits and vegetables contain more nutrients than those grown conventionally.
Although organic farming methods tend to cost more than conventional farming methods, they often yield better results. Organic farming promotes soil fertility as well as biodiversity.
This helps to prevent erosion and conserve water resources. Plus, because organic farms aren't treated with toxic chemicals, these farms typically require less energy and fuel.
Some people fear that organic foods can be more costly than conventional foods. Prices can vary depending on where you live. Organic apples, on the other hand, tend to be more expensive that conventional apples.
But, if we look at the total cost of a combination of both types and fruits, we'll see organic is much cheaper.
So should you go organic?
It all depends on who you are. If you don't like the taste of organic food, then you probably shouldn't bother.
You can still buy organic food if your preference is for good tasting food. Organic foods are safer than conventional food because they don't contain chemical pesticides or fertilizers.
Organic agriculture is a way to preserve the environment, conserve natural resources, and encourage biodiversity.
Why should I buy organic?
Many health issues have been linked to conventional agriculture, including obesity, diabetes and cancer. Healthy choices must be made when purchasing food.
The Environmental Working Group has the following tips for choosing "cleaner" food.
When possible, buy organic fruits and veggies
Look for USDA organic labels on meat, poultry, eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, and honey.
Avoid processed foods that are labeled "natural" or "no added ingredients."
Make sure you read through all the ingredients. If an ingredient is not listed, it can be added during processing.
Frozen and canned meats should be preferred to fresh. Frozen and canned foods often contain less nutrient-rich ingredients like high fructose corn syrup.
What are the benefits of organic products for skin?
Organic skincare products do not contain synthetic chemicals like parabens,phthalates, mineral oils, petroleum jelly or petrolatum.
Organic skincare products are also free of artificial colours, fragrances, preservatives, emulsifiers, GMOs, petrochemicals, animal testing (except cosmetics tested on animals), pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, heavy metals, and other contaminants.
They also help to preserve healthy skin and prevent premature aging.
Some standard terms you may see when shopping 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 - The ingredient is derived naturally from the animal or plant.
- Vegan/Vegetarian – The ingredients can either be vegetarian or vegan.
- 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 eventually be broken down into harmless parts when it is disposed of.
- Pesticide-Free - No pesticides have been used in the growing and harvesting process.
- GMO-Free: This means that no product ingredient contains genetically engineered organisms.
- Certified Organic means that all the ingredients have been grown using methods that protect the soil and water as well as wildlife and farmers.
What should I be looking out for when shopping organic products
USDA-certified organic labels are desirable. This guarantees that the product meets certain USDA standards. On all packages, boxes and cartons, look for the USDA Organic seal.
When shopping for meat ensure it comes only from cows that are fed 100% organic feed. Cattle are ruminants, which means they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle are divided into four stomach compartments, the rumen and reticulum as well as the omasum and abmasum. If the cow is to be labeled "100% organic", all of its parts must have been organically fed.
Buy chicken from only organic chickens that have been fed 100% organic food and are not given antibiotics. Chickens are omnivores. This means they can eat both plant and animal food. Omnivorous chickens have a digestive tract composed of a crop, proventriculus, gizzard, small intestine, large intestine, and anus.
Buy only dairy products from cows that have been fed organically grown feed. Like ruminants and dairy cows, they have four stomach compartments. The fourth stomach compartment, the udder, is where milk comes from.
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 are natural beauty products?
Organic Beauty Products are natural products without synthetic chemicals such as petroleum, parabens, phenoxyethanol, phthalates, and artificial preservatives. These ingredients can be found in many conventional beauty products such as cosmetics, shampoos and perfumes.
Organic beauty products can also be made without animal testing, and they do not contain any genetically altered organisms (GMO).
The USDA defines organic food as "a system which fosters cycle of resources"; it has been used for decades by the USDA to describe foods that are grown without pesticides.
Due to the adverse effects of chemicals on our bodies, there has been a growing demand for eco-friendly cosmetics in recent years.
These include skin irritation, hormone imbalance, premature ageing, and cancer.
Organic beauty companies work to create safe and healthy products for their customers while also protecting the environment.
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
What happens when you switch from conventional products to organic?
Organic products are free from synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, hormones, and genetic manipulation. They are derived from clean water and animals that have been free to roam. Organic products are those that do not contain chemicals or other additives. This product was produced by nature and therefore contains no harmful substances.
The term "natural" refers how food is grown. It is used to describe food that has not been processed into its final form, such as fruits. Natural foods are more fresh than other foods because they have not been subject to heat, radiation or chemical preservatives. But, not everyone believes that natural foods are healthy. Experts say that there aren't many differences between organic and conventional food. Both types have been tested for quality and safety. Organic produce is less likely to contain pesticide residues and pollutants than conventionally grown produce.
Most grocery stores now sell organic products. Organic meat, poultry or eggs can be found at most local markets. Some companies only sell organic products. Others have separate sections. You should look for USDA Certified Organic, Non GMO Project Verified (Biodynamic Association Certified), Rainforest Alliance Certified, and other certifications.
These items should be avoided if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. Unborn babies and infants can be affected by pesticides.
