Frequently Asked Questions
What are organic food products?
Organic produce can be grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. No growth hormones are used, and there is no animal testing. These crops can grow naturally so that farmers don't have to use pesticides or weed control.
Organic farming practices help maintain soil quality and reduce erosion. In addition, organics are better for our health because they contain more nutrients than conventional food. Organic products are more nutritious than conventionally grown foods and have lower calories and fiber.
Do organic foods have health benefits?
Although organic foods are not for everyone, they can be very healthy. However, regular consumption of organic foods can have health benefits.
Organic food is made without pesticides or herbicides, hormones or genetic engineering. Organic produce does not contain harmful chemicals that could be harmful to the human body.
The use of additives in the processing process is also less common. So when you buy an organic product, you're likely eating healthier than non-organic products.
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 promotes soil fertility as well as biodiversity.
This helps preserve water resources and prevents erosion. Organic farms don't use toxic chemicals and require less fuel and energy.
People worry that organic foods will be more expensive than those made from conventional food. Prices will vary depending where you live. For example, organic apples tend to be more expensive than traditional apples.
If you take a look at the cost of a basket containing both types of fruits, you will see that organic is less expensive.
So should you go organic?
It depends on you. 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. And since most commercial growers use chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs), organic foods are safer for consumers.
Organic agriculture preserves our environment by conserving natural resource and encouraging biodiversity.
How do you determine if food has been grown organically?
Fresh ingredients are what chefs value the most. It's because we feel better when food is well-prepared.
The same is true of our food. We know where our organic food came from and how it has been grown. We also know that it didn't have any harmful chemicals.
Organic foods are made without the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, hormones, steroids, antibiotics, or genetically altered organisms (GMO). These substances are not allowed for organic farmers.
But that doesn't mean there isn't an art to growing organic crops. There are plenty of ways to grow them safely.
Sustainable agriculture is also known as organic farming. This means that organic farming does not use as many resources as conventional methods, but it still provides the essential nutrients needed to sustain life.
Organic farming practices include crop rotation, composting manure, cover cropping, and intercropping. These techniques prevent soil erosion while improving water quality.
They reduce the amount of chemical runoff that can enter waterways. Many of us live in urban areas so we have access to local farms that produce organic produce.
There are two types of certification programs for organic products. One is certified under the USDA National Organic Program. The other is certified independently by certifying authorities. Both require strict adherence of organic standards.
USDA seals and O Seals are symbols that indicate organic certification.
Statistics
- Popular clothing brands, like Patagonia, are labelled as organic by using 100 percent organic cotton for many of their styles. (en.wikipedia.org)
- According to a study performed by consumerreports.org, organic products, compared to non-organic products, ranged anywhere from 13 percent cheaper to 303 percent more expensive. (en.wikipedia.org)
- 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)
- When packaged products indicate they are “made with organic [specific ingredient or food group],” they contain at least 70% organically produced ingredients. (usda.gov)

How To
Organic foods: Are they healthier and more nutritious than conventional food?
Organic foods are made without the use or synthetic fertilizers. They are grown under natural conditions without artificial inputs such as fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, hormones, antibiotics, or genetic engineering. Organic farming methods include crop rotation, cover, composting animal manure and recycling wastewater.
In 2002, USDA National Organic Programs (NOP) were established to regulate the production and handling of organic products that are 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. There are several certifying organizations that offer these services. These include the CCOF Certified Organic Farmers & Ranchers as well as Quality Assurance International and the American Grassfed Association. These three organizations provide third party verification of farms following strict guidelines on environmental stewardship. labour practices, and animal care.
According to the USDA's Economic Research Service, organic agriculture accounted for $4.7 billion in sales in 2013. The retail spending on organic products accounted for nearly $1.5 billion in 2013, a 23 percent increase over 2009. Sales at grocery stores were up 12 percent during this period. Direct purchases of organic produce saw a 29 percent increase in spending, while seafood, meat, poultry and eggs experienced a 1 percent growth.
Organic food is more expensive, but consumers believe its quality is worth the extra cost. Consumer Reports' 2015 survey found that 88% of respondents would spend more on organic food if it had higher nutritional values. Health Affairs also reported that organic food intake is associated with fewer health problems, such as obesity, diabetes and heart disease.
Although organic foods are not proven to prevent or treat certain diseases, some research suggests that they could improve overall health and reduce exposure to pesticides. One example is the conclusion reached by a review of 31 studies, published in 2010, that organically reared beef was significantly less toxic than conventionally-raised beef. A separate analysis of 11 publications from 2012 produced similar results.
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.
