What is organic food?
Organic produce is free from synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, sewage sludge and confinement feeding. No growth hormones or animal testing are done. These crops can grow naturally so that farmers don't have to use pesticides or weed control.
Organic farming methods also help to preserve soil quality, reduce erosion, and conserve water resources. Organics contain more nutrients than regular food and are therefore better for our overall health. Organic products are more nutritious than conventionally grown foods and have lower calories and fiber.
Is organic meat better?
If you have been paying attention for long enough, you will probably know the answer. However, the truth is organic food is gaining popularity at a time when conventional food is falling out of favor.
The reason why organic foods continue to rise in popularity is that they are healthier for us. Organic products are not only safer for our health but also reduce pollution and waste.
There are two sides to the coin. Organic produce takes longer and requires more resources. Organic food can be more expensive than its nonorganic counterpart.
Organic meats tend to be more expensive than those raised conventionally. But, you can reduce the cost of organic meats without compromising quality.
Locally grown produce is a great way to save money. Buying locally grown fruits and vegetables helps keep prices low because farmers receive incentives to grow healthy crops.
Another way to cut costs is to look for deals. When you purchase organics, there are often discounts.
Consuming less meat is another way to save cash. Due to the cost of raising livestock, meat production can be expensive.
There are many reasons why organic food is better for our bodies and the planet, but we should be careful not to overlook the cost.
What are organic fruits and vegetables?
Organic food does not contain pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. Organic foods also have more nutrients such as vitamins C, E and K plus omega-3 fatty acid. Organic food is better for the earth and our bodies because of these healthy ingredients.
Organic foods are grown using sustainable farming practices that preserve soil quality and encourage 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.
The USDA defines "organic" as that crops being raised according to strict rules set forth by federal government standards. Farmers cannot use conventional (non-organic) methods to grow these foods. However, they may use approved natural pest control methods, such as crop rotation and cover cropping, and animal feed made from organic materials.
In addition, the farmer must follow guidelines regarding how much fertilizer and pesticide he uses during the growing season and rotate his fields between various crops. GMOs, artificial growthhormones, synthetic insecticides, and synthetic fertilizers cannot be used by farmers.
Fruits and vegetables labelled "100% organic" meet all the requirements above. But not all farms will label their products 100% organic. That would confuse consumers. Instead, they will label the product as "made from organic ingredients". "
Are organic foods good for your health?
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 is grown without the use of pesticides herbicides fungicides hormones antibiotics or genetic engineering. Organic produce does not contain harmful chemicals that could be harmful to the human body.
Additionally, organic products are less likely to contain additives during processing. Organic products are likely to be healthier than nonorganic.
Studies have shown organic foods have more nutrients and antioxidants that conventionally grown fruits, vegetables.
Even though organic farming methods can be more costly than conventional farming methods they are often more productive. Organic farming encourages soil fertility and biodiversity.
This helps protect against erosion and conserve water resources. Plus, because organic farms aren't treated with toxic chemicals, these farms typically require less energy and fuel.
People are worried that organic foods may be more expensive then conventional. However, prices will vary depending on where one lives. Organic apples, on the other hand, tend to be more expensive that conventional apples.
You'll be able to see the difference in price if you add up all of the fruits in a single basket.
So should you go organic?
It depends on what kind of person you are. Organic food is not for you if you don’t like it.
You can still buy organic food if your preference is for good tasting food. Organic foods are safer as most commercial growers use chemical fertilisers, pesticides, or genetically modified species (GMOs) to produce their crops.
Organic agriculture helps to protect the environment by conserving natural resources, and promoting biodiversity.
