Frequently Asked Questions
Is organic food better for us?
The Environmental Working Group's most recent report on pesticide residues found in food shows that organic fruits and veggies had almost half the pesticide content of non-organic. Organic strawberries contained four times more pesticides that their conventional counterparts, and organic apples contained eight percent less.
Some studies also suggest that eating organic food helps reduce your exposure to toxic metals, such as mercury and lead. One study revealed that children who ate organic meat had 33 per cent lower blood lead levels than their counterparts who didn't eat organic meats. Another study concluded that pregnant mothers should avoid eating conventional fish because of the high levels mercury.
Organic food appears to be more safe than non-organic. However, to reduce your risk of cancer and other diseases, experts recommend choosing fresh fruit and vegetables whenever possible.
What is organic beef?
Organic meat means real food, grown without artificial fertilizers or pesticides. It also means that the animals weren't fed any genetically modified feed. It is safe to eat because it doesn't contain any harmful chemicals.
Organic meats are good for the environment. Eating organic foods helps reduce pollution in the environment, such as rivers and lakes. Organic farmers are less likely to use toxic chemicals to kill birds or insects. This helps protect wildlife.
It is best to buy organic meats locally as much as possible. Local purchases help keep more money within the community than traveling out of state. Local businesses often pass savings on to customers who shop locally. Local businesses are more likely to keep jobs here than export them abroad.
How do you know if your food is organic?
If you ask any chef, he'll tell you there's nothing more important than fresh ingredients. This is because eating well makes us feel better.
The same applies to our food. We can identify exactly where and how organic foods were grown when we purchase them. We also know it was not treated using harmful chemicals.
Organic foods are made without the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, hormones, steroids, antibiotics, or genetically altered organisms (GMO). Organic farmers aren't allowed to use these substances.
Organic farming doesn't have to be difficult. There are many ways to safely grow organic crops.
Sustainable agriculture is also known as organic farming. Organic farming is more sustainable than traditional methods and provides all the nutrients necessary to sustain life.
Organic farming techniques include crop rotation and cover cropping. These practices help to prevent soil erosion and improve water purity.
They also reduce chemical contamination of waterways. Since most of us live in urban areas, we can find local farms that raise organic produce.
There are two types certified programs for organic products. One is certified by the USDA National Organic Program, and the other is certified by independent certifying agencies. Both require strict adherence to organic standards.
Certified organic products may bear the USDA seal or the symbol O Seal, which indicates that the product meets federal requirements.
What is inorganic?
Organic food is not produced with pesticides or artificial fertilizers. These chemicals can be harmful for your health.
Organic food is produced naturally and without any harmful substances, such as chemical fertilizers or pesticides. These chemicals may cause damage to animals as well as humans.
Inorganic food includes meat, fish, eggs, milk, cheese, butter, yogurt, honey, grains, vegetables, fruits, spices, and herbs.
Organic refers to how an agricultural product was grown. Organic farming employs natural methods and soil amendments for growing crops. Conventional agriculture uses pesticides or fertilizers.
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), must ensure that organic food meets strict standards. The National Organic Program Standards require that all organic foods are free of prohibited substances such as antibiotics and growth hormones, genetically modified organisms or industrial solvents. Organic food must also be free from toxic chemicals, petroleum based fertilizers, sewage effluents and ionizing radiation.

How To
5 Reasons to Buy Organic Products
Organic foods are free from pesticides and synthetic fertilisers. They contain no genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or irradiated ingredients. Their production does not use sewage sludge and industrial solvents. The food's natural environment is protected from contamination during its growth cycle. It is free of artificial preservatives and additives. It does not contain hormones or antibiotics. They are also produced in conditions that enable them to preserve their nutritional value, freshness, and quality for longer periods.
- Health benefits. Nonorganic produce is more chemically-laden than organic. This means it's less likely to cause allergies and sensitivities. It also means you're consuming fewer toxins and carcinogens.
- Eco-friendliness. Produce grown without synthetic fertilizer and pesticides requires very little water. Organic farms are typically located far away form areas of high pollution and where conventional growth is difficult because it requires so much effort. This helps reduce 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. Strong immune systems develop when farm animals are fed only grasses grown without antibiotics or added hormones.
- Taste. The taste of conventional fruits and veggies is often bland. This is because they are picked at the peak of ripeness. They then get shipped long distances to their destination. Organic produce tastes richer and sweeter because it was harvested while still unripe.
- Nutrition. Many conventional processed foods contain harmful substances like BPA and GMOs. Stick to whole foods, including meat, eggs fish, nuts seeds, beans and fruit.
