Frequently Asked Questions
Is organic food better for us?
The Environmental Working Group's most recent report on pesticide residues found in food shows that organic fruits and veggies had almost half the pesticide content of non-organic. The Environmental Working Group found that organic apples contained eight-times less pesticides than other non-organic fruits, and organic strawberries had fourfold more than their conventional counterparts.
Some studies also suggest that eating organic food helps reduce your exposure to toxic metals, such as mercury and lead. A study concluded that children who ate organic meat had 33% lower levels of blood lead than those who didn’t. A second study found that conventional fish should be avoided by pregnant women due to the high levels of mercury.
Organic food seems to be safer than the non-organic. Experts recommend that fresh produce and vegetables be used whenever possible to reduce your chances of developing cancer.
What are some of the benefits of organic agriculture?
Organic farming allows farmers to produce food using only natural methods. Organic farming is a way for farmers to produce food without using harmful pesticides.
Organic farming also offers more natural fertilizers. These fertilizers are good for plants that are healthy and reduce chemical waste.
Organic farming is also eco-friendly. For example, organic farming uses composting techniques to re-use nutrients in the soil. This reduces the risk of pollution and helps conserve precious resources.
Organic farming can increase crop yields and help the environment. This is because there is much less water used during the growing season.
Organic production also means that farmers get higher prices for their products. Consumers who are more aware about the dangers associated with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and other chemicals will choose healthier foods.
This raises the demand to produce organic food products. Organic farming is becoming more popular because of this.
Are there health benefits to eating organic food?
Although organic foods are not for everyone, they can be very healthy. For those who consume them regularly, however, they can offer certain health benefits.
Organic food is free from artificial fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides as well as hormones, antibiotics and genetic engineering. Organic produce is free from harmful chemicals that could cause harm to human health.
Organic products also have fewer additives. 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.
Organic farming methods are more expensive than conventional methods but they can often produce better results. Organic farming promotes soil fertility as well as biodiversity.
This helps conserve water resources and protects against erosion. Organic farms do not require toxic chemicals to operate. They also use less energy and fuel.
Some people worry that organic foods are more expensive than conventional ones. However, prices vary depending on where you live. For example, organic apples are generally more expensive than conventional apples.
But, if we look at the total cost of a combination of both types and fruits, we'll see organic is much cheaper.
Do you really need to buy organic?
It all depends on who you are. You shouldn't bother if you don't enjoy organic food.
However, if you enjoy good-tasting food, you can buy organic food. Organic foods are safer as most commercial growers use chemical fertilisers, pesticides, or genetically modified species (GMOs) to produce their crops.
Organic agriculture protects our environment by conserving natural resources and promoting biodiversity.
How do you know if your food is organic?
Fresh ingredients are what chefs value the most. Because we feel better when we eat well.
The same applies to 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 can be made without synthetic pesticides. These substances aren't permitted for organic farmers.
There is no art in growing organic crops. There are many methods to safely grow them.
Sometimes, organic farming is called sustainable agriculture. This is because organic farming uses less resources than conventional methods but provides enough nutrients for life to last.
Organic farming techniques include crop rotation and cover cropping. These practices help to prevent soil erosion and improve water purity.
They also reduce chemical contamination of waterways. We can also find organic farms in our urban surroundings.
There are two types certified programs for organic products. One is certified under the USDA National Organic Program. The other is certified independently by certifying authorities. Both require strict conformity to organic standards.
Certified organic products may bear the USDA seal or the symbol O Seal, which indicates that the product meets federal requirements.

How To
What happens when you switch from conventional products to organic?
Organic products are produced without the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. They are free-range and come from clean water sources. Organic products are those that do not contain chemicals or other additives. This product was produced by nature and therefore contains no harmful substances.
Natural refers to the way food was grown. It is usually used to describe foods that haven't been processed into their final form (e.g., fruits). Natural foods are usually fresher than processed foods, as they haven’t been exposed to heat, radiation, chemical preservatives, or other treatments. Natural doesn't necessarily have to be healthy, however. Many experts say there isn't much difference between conventional and organic foods. Both types can be tested for safety and quality. But organic produce has fewer pollutants and pesticide residues than conventionally grown produce.
Most grocery shops now carry organic options. If you are looking for organic meat, poultry and eggs, check with your local grocery store. Some companies only sell organic products, while others offer separate sections. Look for USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Biodynamic Association Certified, Rainforest Alliance Certified, etc.
These foods should be avoided by women who are pregnant or breast-feeding. Pesticides can harm unborn infants and babies.
