Frequently Asked Questions
Is organic meat more nutritious?
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.
Organic foods are becoming more popular because they are better for us. Organic products are not only safer for our health but also reduce pollution and waste.
There are many sides to this coin. Organic produce takes longer and requires more resources. Organic food can be more expensive than its nonorganic counterpart.
Organic meats are typically higher priced than conventionally raised animals. However, there are ways to reduce these costs without sacrificing quality.
One way to save money is to buy locally. Locally grown produce helps to keep the prices down because farmers are given incentives to grow healthy crops.
A great way to save money is to search for deals. Many organic products can be purchased at a discount.
A third way to save money on meat consumption is to eat less. The feed required to raise cattle can make meat production expensive.
Organic food is healthier for the planet and our bodies than conventional food, but it's important to not overlook its cost.
What is an Organic Food Producer?
Organic food producers make products that are organically grown. These foods include fruits, vegetables and dairy products.
When crops are naturally nurtured, organic food production can be achieved. This includes soil preparation, crop rotation, and pest management.
USDA (United States Department of Agriculture), has strict requirements for agricultural products to be certified organic.
These guidelines make it possible for consumers to have safe, healthy, and delicious food.
Organic foods offer many health benefits. They are free from heavy metal contamination and pesticide residues. They also have higher nutritional content and better taste.
USDA Certified Organic products must be labeled with the seal "USDA certified organic".
This certification means that the product meets the standards laid down by the National Organic Program.
Organic food not only makes us healthier but also helps to protect the environment.
Organic farming techniques conserve water and land. In addition, organic methods reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which cause climate change.
Organic agriculture uses fewer chemicals and reduces pollution runoff.
This improves the air quality by reducing the likelihood of harmful gases like ammonia, nitrates and other pollutants building up in your atmosphere.
There are many types to organic farming.
Conventional farming involves the use artificial inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides.
Regenerative agriculture uses cover crops and green manures to improve soil quality. It promotes biodiversity.
Agroecology focuses on sustainable relationships between people, plants, and animals.
Permaculture promotes self-sufficiency through the design of systems that mimic nature.
What are some things I should look out for when purchasing organic goods?
USDA-certified organic labels are desirable. This guarantee that the product has met specific standards set forth by USDA. Look for the "USDA Organic" seal on packages, boxes, cartons, cans, and jars.
When shopping for meat, ensure it comes from cows fed 100% organic feed. Cattle are ruminants which means that they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle have four stomach areas: rumen (reticulum), omasum (omasum), and abomasum. 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. The digestive tract of an omnivorous chicken is composed of a crop and proventriculus, gizzard as well as small intestine, large intestinale, and anus.
Buy only dairy products from cows that have been fed organically grown feed. Like ruminants, dairy cattle have four stomachs. Milk comes from the fourth stomach compartment--the udder.
If you are buying other types of livestock, make sure to check the label to determine the percentage of their diet. Pork may be labeled "95% Organic" which means that 95 percent of its feed was organic.

- 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)

How To
What happens to the body when you switch over to organic products
Organic products are produced without the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. They come only from natural sources of water and free-range animals. The term "organic", which means they don't contain additives or chemicals, refers to their non-containing any. This product was naturally produced and contains no harmful chemicals.
The term "natural", refers only to how food was grown. It's used to describe foods that have not been altered into their final form (e.g. fruits). Natural foods are more fresh than other foods because they have not been subject to heat, radiation or chemical preservatives. Some people don't believe that natural means healthy. Experts agree that organic and conventional foods are very similar. Both types of food have been tested for safety and quality. Organic produce contains fewer pesticide and other pollutants than conventionally-grown produce.
Most grocery stores now sell organic products. For organic meats, poultry, eggs and seafood, you should check with your local supermarket. Some companies offer only organic products while others have separate sections. Look for USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Biodynamic Association Certified, Rainforest Alliance Certified, etc.
These items should be avoided if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. Pesticides have been shown to harm infants and unborn babies.
