Frequently Asked Questions

What is an inorganic food?

Organic food does not use pesticides or fertilizers. These chemicals can cause health problems in organic foods.

Organic food is produced naturally and without any harmful substances, such as chemical fertilizers or pesticides. These chemicals can be harmful to both animals and people.

Inorganic foods are meats, fishes, eggs, buttermilk, cheese, yogurt and honey as well as vegetables, fruits and spices.

The way that an agricultural product is grown organically is what the term means. Organic farming is based on natural methods, soil amendments, and crop growth. Conventional farming uses pesticides, fertilizers, and chemicals.

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), must ensure that organic food meets strict standards. According to the National Organic Program Standards all organic food must be free of banned materials such as antibiotics growth hormones genetically modified organisms GMOs, and industrial solvents. Organic food must not be produced with toxic chemicals, petroleum or sewage sludges or ionizing radioactive substances.


What should I be looking out for when shopping organic products

Look for USDA-certified organic labels. This guarantees that the product meets certain USDA standards. On all packages, boxes and cartons, look for the USDA Organic seal.

When you shop for meat, ensure that it comes from cows who are fed organic feed. Cattle are ruminants. This means they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle have four stomach areas: rumen (reticulum), omasum (omasum), and abomasum. To be labeled '100% organic, all animal parts must be organically nourished.

Buy chicken from only organic chickens that have been fed 100% organic food and are not 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.

When buying dairy products, ensure they come from cows fed 100% organically grown feed. Dairy cows have four stomach compartments, just like ruminants. The fourth stomach compartment, the udder, is where milk comes from.

Check the label when purchasing livestock of any other type to find out what percentage was used in the animal's diet. One example is pork that may be labeled '95% Organic'. This means that 95 percent came from organic sources.


How can you tell whether food is organic?

Any chef will tell you fresh ingredients are more important than any other ingredient. This is because eating well makes us feel better.

This is true for food as well. We know where our organic food came from and how it has been grown. We also know that it wasn't treated with harmful chemicals.

Organic food is produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. These substances are not permitted to organic farmers.

There is no art in growing organic crops. There are many ways to safely grow organic crops.

Organic farming is often called sustainable agriculture. Organic farming is more sustainable than traditional methods and provides all the nutrients necessary to sustain life.

Organic farming methods include crop rotations, composting manure and cover cropping. These techniques prevent soil erosion while improving water quality.

They also reduce chemical runoff into 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 through the USDA National Organic Program and the other by independent certifying agents. Both require strict compliance with organic standards.

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


Why is organic food so important?

Our health is dependent on organic produce. It's the best method to ensure you eat healthy foods. It's healthier for us as well as more environmentally-friendly because it doesn’t rely on pesticides, fertilizers, or other chemicals.

Organic farming uses natural methods to grow crops without harmful chemicals. This reduces the risk of environmental pollution, which makes it safer for people and animals. By choosing organic food, you are protecting the planet as well as yourself.

But organic food offers more than just health benefits. We are all well aware of how harmful processed food can make our bodies feel. However, organic fruits & vegetables aren’t treated with chemical sprays. This means they are more fresh tasting, last longer and look better.

Organic food is so important. It's healthy for you and the planet.


What are the benefits of organic farming?

Organic farming gives farmers the opportunity to grow food without the use of chemical pesticides. Farmers don't need to worry that harmful pesticides could harm their crops or animals.

Organic farming can also use natural fertilizers. These fertilizers can be used to help grow healthier plants and to reduce the amount produced chemical waste.

Organic farming is also eco-friendly. Many farmers use composting methods to replenish soil nutrients. This reduces the risk of pollution and helps conserve precious resources.

Organic farming also helps the environment by increasing crop yields. This is because organic farming requires less water to grow the crops.

Organic production methods also mean that farmers receive higher prices for their produce. People who are more conscious of the dangers of chemical fertilizers and pesticides will eat healthier food.

This raises the demand to produce organic food products. For these reasons, organic farming is becoming increasingly popular.
