Frequently Asked Questions
What is organic food?
Organic produce is free from synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, sewage sludge and confinement feeding. No growth hormones or animal testing are done. These crops are allowed to grow naturally, so farmers do not use chemicals to prevent weeds or pests.
Organic farming practices preserve soil quality and help conserve water resources. In addition, organics are better for our health because they contain more nutrients than conventional food. Organic products tend to be higher in fiber and lower fat than conventionally produced foods.
Is organic meat better?
If you've been paying attention for any time, you probably already know the answer to this question. Here's the problem: Organic food is becoming more sought-after, while traditional food continues to decline in popularity.
The reason why organic foods continue to rise in popularity is that they are healthier for us. Organic products are not only safer for our health but also reduce pollution and waste.
However, there are also two sides to this coin. Organic produce is more difficult to grow and takes more resources. This means organic food will cost more than its non-organic counterpart.
Organic meats can be more expensive that those from conventionally raised animals. But, you can reduce the cost of organic meats without compromising quality.
One way to save money is to buy locally. Buying locally grown fruits and vegetables helps keep prices low because farmers receive incentives to grow healthy crops.
Another way to cut costs is to look for deals. Many organic products can be purchased at a discount.
A third way to save money on meat consumption is to eat less. The feed required to raise cattle can make meat production expensive.
While there are many reasons organic food is better for our bodies as well as the planet, we must not forget the cost.
What is the difference in organic and non-organic foods?
Organic food is produced without pesticides, chemical fertilizers, sewage sludge, irradiation, or genetic modification. Organic farming practices contribute to soil health, water purity, and animal welfare.
Inorganic food is grown with pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Radiation can be used to destroy food, while genetically modified organisms are created by biological engineering.
The term "natural" is often used interchangeably with "organic." Natural does not always mean organic. You may also find products that are labeled as "natural", which could contain synthetic ingredients.
Because organic produce contains fewer harmful chemicals, pesticides, and fertilizers than conventional produce it is more nutritious. Organic farmers also don't use synthetic fertilizers or hormones, pesticides, or antibiotics.
Statistics
- 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)
- Popular clothing brands, like Patagonia, are labelled as organic by using 100 percent organic cotton for many of their styles. (en.wikipedia.org)
- Cosmetic brands such as Laurel and Rose Mira are 100 percent organic and have a wide array of skincare products. (en.wikipedia.org)

How To
What You Should Know About Organic Foods
Organic foods are made from animals and plants without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. They can be produced without the use of genetic engineering or ionizing radiation. No artificial colourings, flavour enhancers, preservatives, or colourings must be used in the food. It must not contain genetically altered organisms (GMOs).
The term "organic", as it is commonly known, was first used by Justus von Loig in 1845. He coined the phrase "organisch", which means life-giving, to describe manure's properties. Nowadays, most people associate the term organic with the production of food. Organic simply means the product is made from only naturally occurring substances such proteins, carbohydrate, and minerals.
Globally, organic product consumption has increased significantly over the last decade. Recent statistics show that around half of the world's population consumes at most one organic product per 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 consumers prefer organic products for the taste. Other people prefer them because organic produce is more nutritious. Still others believe organic farming is better for the environment. But, non-organic products can be a good choice because there are ethical concerns over the treatment and welfare of farm workers.
Organic food tends to be more expensive that conventional foods, but prices can vary depending upon the country or region. There are many factors that influence the cost of organic foods. One factor is the availability of land suitable for organic agriculture. The cost of inputs and labor required for organic cultivation is another factor. The cost of transportation, marketing, and taxes are just a few other factors. In Europe, for example, organic food prices are 10% more than regular food.
