Frequently Asked Questions
What are some of the most popular organic products in your country?
Organic food is the fastest-growing industry today. However, we still have a lot to learn from our roots.
Organic products are the future. They are safer, better for our environment, and more affordable for consumers.
They also tend to have higher prices. That's why we created the Organic Food Index. We wanted to know which foods are popular today and whether trends are changing.
The results of the study show that organic food has become more popular. The number of Americans shopping for organic food grew by nearly 50% between 2011 and 2012.
According to the USDA, organic production increased by 10% last year alone. Organic food now makes up 9% U.S. agriculture output.
Organic food is certainly on the rise but consumers are still not able to afford it. According to the Organic Trade Association (OTA), average retail prices for organic food are almost double those of conventional alternatives.
However, organic food is growing more quickly than any other part of the food market. You can see that organic food has been steadily increasing since 2009.
According to OTA, organic products sold in supermarkets grew 14% between 2010-2011.
This is because of consumer demand for healthier products, which explains the rise in organic food sales across all age categories.
However, the younger generation is leading the charge in choosing organic food. Millennials are twice likely to choose organic food than the baby boomers. Young adults aged below 35 account for 25%.
What are the benefits of organic products for skin?
Organic skincare products don't contain any synthetic chemicals such as parabens or phthalates.
Organic skincare products don't contain artificial colours or fragrances.
They can also be used to maintain healthy skin, protect against premature aging, promote healing from injuries, and improve overall well-being.

- Gluten-Free is a label that indicates that no gluten was added to the product.

What is organic meat exactly?
Organic meat refers to real food grown without the use artificial fertilizers, pesticides, or hormones. It also means that the animals weren't fed any genetically modified feed. This means that the meat is safe for consumption as there aren’t any harmful chemicals.
Organic meats are also healthier for the environment. When we eat organic foods, we reduce the pollution in landfills, rivers, lakes, etc. We can also help wildlife by eating organic foods. Organic farmers do not often use toxic chemicals that can kill birds or insects.
You can eat organic meats and produce whenever you can. Local purchasing helps keep money local, not out of the state. Local businesses often pass savings on to customers who shop locally. In addition, buying local keeps jobs right here in America instead of sending them overseas.
What are organic products for beauty?
Organic Beauty Products do not contain synthetic chemicals like petroleum, parabens or phenoxyethanol. They are made from natural ingredients and don't contain artificial preservatives. These ingredients are commonly found in conventional beauty products like cosmetics, shampoos, and perfumes.
Organic beauty products are also free from animal testing and do not contain any genetically modified organisms (GMO).
The USDA defines organic as "a system that fosters the cycling of resources." It has been used for many decades to describe food products grown without pesticides.
In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for eco-friendly beauty products because of the harmful effects of chemical substances on our bodies.
These include cancer, allergies and skin irritation.
Organic beauty businesses are committed to providing safe, healthy products that consumers can use while protecting the environment.

How To
5 Reasons to Buy Organic Products
Organic foods are grown without pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. They don't contain any genetically modified organisms or irradiated foods. Their production does not use sewage sludge and industrial solvents. During its growing cycle, the food's natural environment will be protected from contamination. It is free from artificial additives and preservatives. No hormones or antibiotics are used. They are also grown in conditions that ensure they retain their nutritional value for longer periods of time.
- Health benefits. Organic produce contains less chemicals than nonorganic. It's therefore less likely that it will cause allergies and other sensitivities. It also means that you consume less toxic chemicals and carcinogens.
- Eco-friendliness. Produce grown without synthetic fertilizer and pesticides requires very little water. Organic farms are often located far from areas with high levels of pollution because it takes so much energy for conventional agriculture to grow. This helps to reduce air pollution.
- Sustainability. Organic farming is based on soil fertility and not chemical fertilizers. This results in soils that are healthier and have higher levels of organic matter. The rotation of crops and the letting of land fallow can improve soil health. Farm animals that eat only grasses, grains and no antibiotics develop strong immune systems.
- Taste. Because they are picked at their peak ripeness and then shipped long distances to supermarkets, conventional fruits and vegetables can often taste bland. Organic produce tastes sweeter and more rich because it was picked when it was still young.
- Nutrition. GMOs are harmful chemicals found in many conventional processed foods. You can avoid them by sticking with whole foods such meat, fish, eggs, seafood, seeds and beans, as well as fruits, veggies, herbs, and vegetables.
