Frequently Asked Questions
What are organic fruits?
Organic foods are grown without pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, hormones, or antibiotics. Organic foods contain more nutrients like vitamins A, C and E, as well as omega-3 fatty oils. Organic food is better for the earth and our bodies because of these healthy ingredients.
Organic foods are grown using sustainable farming practices that preserve soil quality and encourage biological diversity. They are made without the use of harmful chemicals, irradiation or sewage waste.
Many organic products are not associated with produce. They include dairy and meat, poultry, eggs baked goods, pet food, household cleaning supplies, and personal care products.
According to the USDA, "organic" means that crops are raised in compliance with federal standards. Farmers cannot use conventional (non-organic) methods to grow these foods. They can use approved natural pest control methods such as crop rotation, cover cropping and organic animal feed.
The farmer must also follow the guidelines for how much fertilizer and insecticide he uses throughout the growing season. He must also rotate his fields among different crops. GMOs, artificial growthhormones, synthetic insecticides, and synthetic fertilizers cannot be used by farmers.
Produces labelled as 100% organic meet all requirements. But not all farms will label their products 100% organic. That would confuse consumers. Instead, they will call their product "made using organic ingredients." "
Why is organic food so important?
Organic produce is vital for our health. It's the best way to ensure we eat nutritious foods. Not only is it better for us, but it's also more environmentally friendly because it doesn't rely on pesticides and fertilizers.
Organic farming uses natural methods for growing crops without using harmful chemicals. This reduces the risk of environmental pollution, which makes it safer for people and animals. So when you choose organic food, you're helping to protect yourself and the planet.
However, organic food is good for our health. We all know how toxic processed food can make you feel. You might not know this, but organic fruits and vegetables don't have to be treated with chemicals. This means they are more fresh tasting, last longer and look better.
Organic food is so important. Organic food is not only healthier for you but also for the whole world.
What are organic beauty products?
Organic Beauty Products are natural products without synthetic chemicals such as petroleum, parabens, phenoxyethanol, phthalates, and artificial preservatives. These ingredients are common in cosmetics such as shampoos, perfumes, and cosmetics.
Organic beauty products do not require animal testing and are free of genetically modified organisms (GMO).
The USDA defines organic food as "a system which fosters cycle of resources"; it has been used for decades by the USDA to describe foods that are grown without pesticides.
There has been a rise in demand for ecofriendly beauty products over the years due to the negative effects of chemical chemicals on our skin.
These include cancer, allergies, skin irritation, hormonal imbalance, and premature aging.
Organic beauty products are created by companies that care about the environment and create safe, healthy products for customers.
What is organic?
Organic meat is real food grown without pesticides, artificial fertilizers, or hormones. It also means the animals were not fed any genetically modified foods. The meat is safe to consume because it contains no harmful chemicals.
Organic meats are good for the environment. We reduce the amount of pollution in our rivers, lakes, and landfills by eating organic food. Organic farmers generally don't use toxic chemicals that kill birds and insects. We help to protect wildlife.
The best way to ensure that you eat healthy organic meats is to buy them locally whenever possible. Local shopping helps keep more money in your community than it does out of state. Local businesses often offer discounts to their customers by shopping locally. Shopping locally helps to keep American workers employed, as opposed to sending them overseas.
What are the most popular organic products?
The fastest-growing industry is organic food. We've come far from our roots but there is still room for improvement.
Organic products will be the future. Organic products are safer, more sustainable, and cheaper for consumers.
But they also tend to be higher priced. We created the Organic Food Index. We wanted the ability to identify which foods are currently most popular and whether these trends have changed.
The results of the study show that organic food has become more popular. Between 2011 and 2012 the number of Americans buying organic food increased nearly 50%.
According to USDA, organic food production increased by 10% only last year. The U.S. now produces 9% of its agricultural output from organic food.
Organic food is certainly on the rise but consumers are still not able to afford it. The Organic Trade Association (OTA) reports that organic food retail prices average almost double the price of conventional foods.
That said, organic food is growing faster than any other segment of the food sector. If you examine the data closely, you will see that organic foods have grown steadily in consumption since 2009.
According to OTA's data, organic products sold in supermarkets grew at 14% between 2010 - 2011.
This is because consumers are looking for healthier foods. Organic food sales have been increasing in all age groups.
However, younger generations are leading the charge when choosing organic food. Millennials have twice the likelihood of buying organic food as baby boomers. And young adults under 35 years old account for 25% of all organic food purchases.
Why should organic be my first choice?
Conventional agriculture has been linked to several health problems, including asthma, allergies, obesity, diabetes, cancer, birth defects, hormone imbalances, and other diseases. It is important to make informed choices about food purchases.
The Environmental Working Group has the following tips for choosing "cleaner" food.
Always buy organic fruits & vegetables.
USDA organic labels are required for meat, poultry, eggs and milk.
Avoid processed foods labeled as "natural" or "no additives."
Always read the ingredient lists. If an ingredient isn't listed, it may be added during processing.
You should choose fresh meats rather than frozen or canned. Cans and frozen foods are often less nutritious than fresh meats, such as high fructose corn syrup.
What should I look out for when buying organic products?
USDA-certified organic labels should be sought. This certifies that the product has met certain standards set by USDA. 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 areas: rumen (reticulum), omasum (omasum), and abomasum. If a cow is to be labeled organically, all parts must be organically fed.
Make sure you only buy chicken from chicken farms that are fed organically and have never been given antibiotics. Chickens are omnivores. This means they can eat both plant and animal food. Omnivorous chickens have a digestive tract composed of a crop, proventriculus, gizzard, small intestine, large intestine, and anus.
Buy dairy products that are 100% organically produced. Just like ruminants, dairy cows also have four stomachs. 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. For example, pork may be marked "95% organic" to indicate that 95 percent of the pork's feed is organic.

How To
What you should know about organic food
Organic foods are produced from plants and animals that have been grown without the use of pesticides, chemical fertilizers or other additives. They are not subject to genetic engineering or the use of ionizing radioactive radiation. The food must contain no artificial ingredients, colourings, flavour enhancers, or preservatives. It cannot contain genetically modified organisms.
The term "organic" was first used in 1845 when chemist Justus von Liebig coined the word "organisch" meaning life-giving, to describe the properties of manure. Today, organic is synonymous with food production. Organic means the product has only natural substances like proteins, carbohydrates, and fats that are found in nature.
The global consumption of organic products has increased dramatically over the past decade. According to recent statistics, about 50% of the global population consumes at-least one organic product every day. This number increases constantly and is expected to reach 70%, 80%, and 90% by 2020.
There are many reasons that organic products are chosen by consumers. Some like the taste, others prefer them because they believe organic produce is healthier, while some think organic farming is more environmentally friendly. Some consumers choose non-organic products because of ethical concerns about farm workers' and animal treatment.
Although organic foods tend to be more expensive than regular ones, prices can vary depending on where they are located. There are different factors influencing the price of organic food. One is the availability and cost of land that can be used for organic agriculture. The cost of inputs and labor required for organic cultivation is another factor. Transportation costs, marketing expenses, and taxes are all factors. The average price of organic food in Europe is 10% less than regular.
