Frequently Asked Questions

Organic meat is better

If you've been paying attention for any time, you probably already know the answer to this question. The problem is that organic food is increasingly popular, but conventional food continues its decline.

Organic foods continue to be popular because they offer a healthier alternative. In addition to being safer for our health, organic products also help the environment by reducing pollution and waste.

But there are two sides to this coin. Organic produce takes more time to grow and requires greater resources. Organic food is more expensive than non-organic.

Organic meats will typically be more expensive than those that are raised in conventional conditions. There are however ways to lower these costs without sacrificing the quality of organic meats.

Buy locally to save money. Buying locally grown fruits and vegetables helps keep prices low because farmers receive incentives to grow healthy crops.

Deals are another way to cut costs. You may be able to get discounts when you buy organics.

You can also save money by eating less meat. Meat production can be costly due to the feed needed to raise livestock.

While there are many reasons organic food is better for our bodies as well as the planet, we must not forget the cost.

How can you tell if food is organic?

If you ask any chef, he'll tell you there's nothing more important than fresh ingredients. That's because when we eat well, we feel better.

The same goes for our food. We can identify exactly where and how organic foods were grown when we purchase them. We also know that organics were not treated with harmful chemicals.

Organic foods can be made without synthetic pesticides. These substances are not permitted to organic farmers.

Growing organic crops is an art. You have many options to safely grow them.

Sustainable agriculture is also known as organic farming. It is a less resource-intensive alternative to conventional farming, but still provides enough nutrients to sustain life.

Organic farming techniques include crop rotation and cover cropping. These techniques can prevent soil erosion, improve water quality, and help reduce the risk of it happening again.

They reduce the amount of chemical runoff that can enter waterways. Because most people live in urban areas, it is easy to find farms that grow organic produce.

There are two types of certification 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 organic standards to be adhered to.

Certified organic products may bear the USDA seal or the symbol O Seal, which indicates that the product meets federal requirements.

What is organic beef?

Organic meat means real food, grown without artificial fertilizers or pesticides. This also means that animals weren't given any genetically modified feed. This makes it safe for human consumption because there aren't any harmful chemicals in the meat.

Organic meats are healthier for our environment. The pollution levels in our environment are reduced when we eat organic foods. Organic farmers don't use harmful chemicals to kill birds and insects, which helps wildlife.

You can eat organic meats and produce whenever you can. Local buying helps to keep money in the community, rather than moving out of state. Local businesses often pass down savings to customers when they shop locally. Local businesses are more likely to keep jobs here than export them abroad.

What is an organic food producer?

Organic food producers make products that are organically grown. These foods include fruits, vegetables and dairy products.

Organic food production occurs on farms that have their crops grown naturally. This includes soil preparation, crop rotation, and pest management.

For an agricultural product to be considered organic, it must meet strict criteria set out by the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture).

These guidelines are designed to ensure consumers have access to safe, healthy and nutritious 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 the product has met the standards of the National Organic Program.

Organic food not only makes us healthier but also helps to protect the environment.

Organic farming methods help conserve natural resources like water and land. Organic farming also helps to reduce greenhouse gases emissions, which are responsible for climate change.

Organic agriculture uses less chemicals and reduces the amount of pollution runoff.

It improves air quality as harmful gases such nitrates or ammonia are less likely to accumulate in the atmosphere.

There are many types and varieties of organic farming.

Conventional farming involves the use artificial inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides.

Regenerative farming uses compost, cover crops, green manures, and other methods to improve the soil's health. It promotes biodiversity.

Agroecology promotes healthy relationships between humans and plants.

Permaculture promotes self sufficiency through the creation of systems that imitate nature.

What are organic beauty products?

Organic Beauty Products don't contain synthetic chemicals such as parabens. These ingredients are found in most conventional beauty products, including cosmetics, perfumes, shampoos, etc.

Organic beauty products are not tested on animals and contain no genetically modified organisms.

The USDA defines organic production as "a system of production which fosters the cycle of resources" and it has been used since decades to refer to foods 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 allergies, cancer, skin irritation, hormonal imbalance, early aging, and skin irritation.

Organic beauty companies believe in creating safe and healthy products while protecting the planet.

How can I determine if my produce was organic?

These labels will help you ensure that organic produce is purchased.

USDA Organic Certified- This product has been certified organic by the USDA.

Certified Naturally Grown: Produce that has been grown in accordance with organic practices, but has yet to receive certification from USDA.

Pastured/Free Range - Produce from animals who live outdoors and graze freely on grass and herbs.

These labels indicate whether the product meets certain criteria.

• There are no synthetic pesticides or fertilizers
• No genetically modified organisms
• Animals are not given antibiotics.
• The animal is never given any hormones
• No growth-promoting drug
• No feed additives
• No artificial ingredients
• No irradiation
• There is no sewage sludge
• No GMOs
• There have never been any antibiotics given.
• No hormones ever given
• No growth-promoting drugs
• No feed-additives
• No artificial ingredients

What are the most loved organic products?

Today organic food is the fastest-growing sector. We've come far from our roots but there is still room for improvement.

Organic products are the future. They are safer and more cost-effective for consumers.

But they also tend to be higher priced. This is why 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 showed that organic food is increasing in popularity. 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. 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 average retail price for organic food is almost twice that of conventional foods, according to the Organic Trade Association (OTA).

That said, organic food is growing faster than any other segment of the food sector. Looking closely at the data, you'll see that organic food consumption has grown steadily 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 as likely than baby boomers to buy organic foods. Young adults below 35 years of age account for 25%.

Statistics

• Nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids were up to 50 percent higher in organic meats and milk than in conventionally raised products.[3] (en.wikipedia.org)
• When packaged products indicate they are “made with organic [specific ingredient or food group],” they contain at least 70% organically produced ingredients. (usda.gov)
• 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)
• Popular clothing brands, like Patagonia, are labelled as organic by using 100 percent organic cotton for many of their styles. (en.wikipedia.org)

How To

Organic foods: Are they healthier and more nutritious than conventional food?

Organic foods are grown without the use chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. 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.

The USDA National Organic Program (NOP), established in 2002 to regulate production, handling and processing of organic products 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.

There are two types available in the U.S. for producers who want their products to be labeled "organic". One for farmers and ranchers, and one for manufacturers. Both programs require audits of operations each year to ensure that they are meeting strict standards. Several certifying agents offer these services, including CCOF Certified Organic Farmers & Ranchers, Quality Assurance International, and the American Grassfed Association. The three organizations all provide verification by third parties that farms have followed strict guidelines for environmental stewardship as well as labour practices and the care of livestock.

According to USDA's Economic Research Service in 2013, organic agriculture generated $4.7 billion in revenue. The retail spending on organic products accounted for nearly $1.5 billion in 2013, a 23 percent increase over 2009. This period saw a 12 percent increase in grocery store sales. Spending on organic produce directly increased by 29.9%, while meat, poultry eggs, and seafood spending grew only by 1%.

While organic food costs more, consumers say its quality justifies the added expense. Consumer Reports' 2015 survey found that 88% of respondents would spend more on organic food if it had higher nutritional values. A Health Affairs study also found that organic food consumers are less likely to develop health problems such as diabetes, cancer, obesity, heart disease, depression, and other diseases.

There is no evidence to suggest eating organic foods can treat or prevent any diseases. However, some studies have suggested that they might be beneficial for your health as they may reduce your exposure of pesticides and contaminants. For example, a review of 31 studies published in 2010 concluded that organically raised beef had significantly lower levels of toxic chemicals and parasites than conventionally raised beef. A separate analysis of 11 studies published in 2012 reached similar conclusions.

A 2014 report from the Environmental Working Group looked at data from the Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Resource Center and found that the incidence of foodborne illness caused by E. coli, salmonella, listeria monocytogenes, campylobacter, and verotoxin-producing E. coli O157:H7 decreased when comparing organic to non-organic chicken, pork, beef, lamb, milk, and cheese. 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.
