Frequently Asked Questions
Are there health benefits to eating organic food?
Some organic foods may not prove to be good for you. But for those who eat them regularly, there are definite health benefits.
Organic food is produced without artificial fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, hormones, antibiotics, or genetic engineering. Organic produce does not contain harmful chemicals that could be harmful to the human body.
There are also fewer additives used during processing. You're more likely to eat organic products than you are non-organic.
Research shows that organic produce contains more nutrients and antioxidants compared to conventionally grown fruit and vegetables.
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 conserve water resources and protects against erosion. Organic farms also require less energy and fuel, as they aren't treated using toxic chemicals.
People are worried that organic foods may be more expensive then conventional. Prices will vary depending where you live. For example, organic apples tend to be more expensive than traditional apples.
However, organic fruit is more affordable if you compare the price of a basket of both types.
So, should you buy organic?
It all depends on your personality. You shouldn't bother if you don't enjoy organic food.
Organic food can be purchased if you like good-tasting food. Organic food is safer because organic produce is not grown by commercial growers who use pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
Organic agriculture protects our environment by conserving natural resources and promoting biodiversity.
What should I be looking out for when shopping organic products
USDA-certified organic labels are recommended. This guarantees that the product meets certain USDA standards. On packages, boxes, cartons or cans, look out for the USDA Organic seal.
When shopping for meat ensure it comes only from cows that are fed 100% organic feed. Ruminants are cattle that chew their cud. Ruminant cattle have four stomach compartments: rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. To be labeled '100% organic, all animal parts must be organically nourished.
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. The digestive tract of an omnivorous chicken is composed of a crop and proventriculus, gizzard as well as small intestine, large intestinale, 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--the cow's udder--is where milk is produced.
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. A label for pork might say "95% organic", which means that 95% of the feed used by the pork came from organic sources.
What is the difference in organic and non-organic foods?
Organic food does not contain pesticides, chemical fertilisers, sewage waste, irradiation, genetic modification. Organic farming practices promote soil health, water quality and animal welfare.
Inorganic foods are produced using chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and sewage effluent. Irradiated foods are treated with radiation; genetically modified organisms (GMO) are created through biological engineering techniques.
"Natural" is sometimes used interchangeably in the context of "organic." But natural does not necessarily imply organic. Some products labeled "natural" may also contain synthetic ingredients.
Organic produce is more nutritious than traditional produce due to the fact that it contains less harmful chemicals and pesticides. Organic farmers also don't use synthetic fertilizers or hormones, pesticides, or antibiotics.
How can you tell if your produce is organic?
If you want to make sure that you are buying organic produce, look for these three labels:
USDA Organic Certified: Produces certified by USDA as 100% organic.
Certified Naturally Grown - Produce that has passed strict requirements for organic practices but has not yet received certification from the USDA.
Pastured/Free-range - Made from animals that graze on grass and herbs outdoors.
These labels indicate whether the product meets certain criteria.
- No pesticides nor synthetic fertilizers
- No genetically altered organisms
- Animals are never given antibiotics
- Animals never receive hormones
- No growth-promoting drugs
- No feed additives
- No artificial ingredients
- No irradiation
- No sewage effluent
- GMOs are not allowed
- Never gave antibiotics
- No hormones ever given
- There are no growth-promoting drugs
- No feed-additives
- No artificial ingredients
- No sewage waste (if it's non-GMO).
- No irradiation

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 conditions and without the use of any artificial inputs like fungicides or herbicides. Cover crops, crop rotation, crop rotation, composting animal manure as well as recycling wastewater are all organic farming practices.
The USDA National Organic Program (NOP) was established in 2002 to regulate the production, handling, processing, labelling, sale, and distribution of organic products sold in the United States. NOP regulations ensure organic agricultural products conform to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Organic products must also be free from banned substances, such as pesticides residues, growth hormones and irradiation.
The United States offers two certification programs for producers that want their products to be certified organic: one for farmers, ranchers and the other for manufacturers. Both programs require an annual audit of the operations in order to confirm compliance with stringent standards. These services are offered by several certifying agencies, including CCOF Certified Organic Farmers & Ranchers and Quality Assurance International. Each of these organizations provides third-party verification to verify that farms are following strict guidelines in regards to environmental stewardship, labour practices and care for livestock.
According to USDA’s Economic Research Service, organic farming accounted for $4.7Billion in 2013 sales. In 2013, organic agriculture accounted for $4.7 billion in sales. This represents a 23-percent increase over 2009. During this time, grocery store sales increased by 12 percent. Spending directly on organic produce grew by 29 percent while that on meat, poultry, eggs and seafood only grew by 1 percent.
Organic food is more expensive but the quality of organic food is worth it. Consumer Reports conducted a 2015 survey and found that 88% would pay more if organic food had better nutritional value. Another study published in Health Affairs found that people who eat organic foods are less likely to suffer health problems like cancer, diabetes, obesity, asthma, heart disease, and depression.
There is no evidence to suggest eating organic foods can treat or prevent any diseases. However, some studies have suggested that they might be beneficial for your health as they may reduce your exposure of pesticides and contaminants. For example, a review of 31 studies published in 2010 concluded that organically raised beef had significantly lower levels of toxic chemicals and parasites than conventionally raised beef. Similar conclusions were reached in a separate analysis of 11 other studies published in 2012.
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 Environmental Working Group also found that E.coli O157 has been associated with fewer human illnesses in children and adults since 2006, when USDA began requiring stricter organic standards for animal production.
