Frequently Asked Questions
What are some of the most popular organic products in your country?
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. Organic products are safer and better for the environment. They also make it more affordable for consumers.
But they also tend to be higher priced. This is why we created the Organic Food Index. We wanted to determine which foods are the most popular among shoppers today and whether these trends are changing.
The results of the study show that organic food has become more popular. The number of Americans shopping for organic food grew by nearly 50% between 2011 and 2012.
According to USDA, organic food production increased by 10% only last year. Organic food now makes up 9% U.S. agriculture output.
Organic food is growing in popularity but is still expensive. According to the Organic Trade Association OTA, organic food retail prices are about twice those of conventional products.
Despite this, organic food is growing at a faster rate than any other food segment. 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 due to consumer demand for healthier food, which explains why organic foods sales are rising across all age groups.
However, younger generations are leading the charge when choosing organic food. Millennials are twice as likely to buy organic food compared to baby boomers. And young adults under 35 years old account for 25% of all organic food purchases.
What are organic foods and how do they compare?
Organic produce does not contain synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and sewage sludge. It is also grown without irradiation or genetic engineering. There is no use of growth hormones and no animal testing. These crops can grow naturally so that farmers don't have to use pesticides or weed control.
Organic farming practices help maintain soil quality and reduce erosion. In addition, organics are better for our health because they contain more nutrients than conventional food. Organic foods are often higher in fiber, lower in fat, and less calories than those produced conventionally.
Why is organic food so important?
Organic produce is vital for our health. Organic produce is the best way to eat healthy foods. It's not only better for us but also it's more sustainable as it doesn't rely upon pesticides and fertilers.
Organic farming relies on natural methods to cultivate crops, without the use of harmful chemicals. Organic farming is safer for animals and humans because it produces fewer pollutants. By choosing organic food, you are protecting the planet as well as yourself.
But organic food offers more than just health benefits. We all know how unhealthy processed foods can make us feel. You might not know this, but organic fruits and vegetables don't have to be treated with chemicals. That means that they taste fresher, look brighter and last longer too.
Because of this, organic foods are so important. Because it's not only healthy for you, it's healthier for the world.
Why should organic be my first choice?
Many health issues have been linked to conventional agriculture, including obesity, diabetes and cancer. You must make healthy choices when buying food.
Here are some tips from the Environmental Working Group (EWG).
Buy organic fruits and vegetables whenever possible.
USDA organic labels for meat, poultry eggs, milk and cheese as well butter and honey are recommended.
Avoid processed foods that claim to be "natural" and "no additives."
Always read the ingredient lists. It is possible to add an ingredient during processing if it isn't already listed.
It is better to eat fresh meats than canned or frozen. Many frozen and canned foods contain less nutrients, like high fructose Corn Syrup.
