Frequently Asked Questions

How can you tell organic food from non-organic?

Ask any chef and he will tell you that fresh ingredients are the most important thing. It's because we feel better when food is well-prepared.

This holds true for our food. Organics can be traced back to their source and whereabouts. We also know it was not treated using harmful chemicals.

Organic food is produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. These substances aren't permitted for organic farmers.

But that doesn't mean there isn't an art to growing organic crops. There are many ways to safely grow organic crops.

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.

Crop rotation, crop rotation, cover cropping and composting manure are all organic farming methods. These practices help to prevent soil erosion and improve water purity.

They reduce the amount of chemical runoff that can enter waterways. Since most of us live in urban areas, we can find local farms that raise organic produce.

There are two types for organic products certification. One is certified through the USDA National Organic Program and the other by independent certifying agents. 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.

Is organic meat better?

If you have been paying attention for long enough, you will probably know the answer. Here's the problem: Organic food is becoming more sought-after, while traditional food continues to decline in popularity.

Organic foods continue to be popular because they offer a healthier alternative. Organic products are healthier for us and the environment.

However, there are also two sides to this coin. Organic produce takes longer and requires more resources. This means organic food will cost more than its non-organic counterpart.

Organic meats are generally more expensive than conventionally raised animals. However, it is possible to reduce costs without compromising on quality.

Buy local to save money. Locally grown fruits and veggies help to lower prices because farmers get incentives to grow good crops.

Deals are another way to cut costs. Organics often come with discounts.

A third way to save money on meat consumption is to eat less. Due to the cost of raising livestock, meat production can be expensive.

There are many reasons that organic food is better than regular food for our bodies, and also for the planet. However, it is important to remember the price.

Do organic foods offer health benefits?

Some organic foods may not prove to be good for you. There are certain health benefits to those who consume organic foods regularly.

Organic food is grown without the use of pesticides herbicides fungicides hormones antibiotics or genetic engineering. Organic produce is free from harmful chemicals that could cause harm to human health.

Additionally, organic products are less likely to contain additives during processing. Organic products are more nutritious than those made from non-organic ingredients.

Studies have shown that organic fruits and vegetables contain more nutrients than those grown conventionally.

Although organic farming methods tend to cost more than conventional farming methods, they often yield better results. When farmers grow crops organically, they encourage soil fertility and biodiversity.

This helps to prevent erosion and conserve water resources. Organic farms don't use toxic chemicals and require less fuel and energy.

People are worried that organic foods may be more expensive then conventional. Prices will vary depending where you live. Organic apples, on the other hand, tend to be more expensive that 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.

Should you buy organic?

It all depends on who you are. Organic food is not for you if you don’t like it.

You can purchase organic food if it is delicious. And since most commercial growers use chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs), organic foods are safer for consumers.

Organic agriculture conserves the environment and promotes biodiversity.

How To

What happens when you switch from conventional products to organic?

Organic products do not contain synthetic fertilizers or hormones. They come only from natural sources of water and free-range animals. 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 often more fresh than others, because they haven’t been processed with heat, radiation or chemical preservations. But, not everyone believes that natural foods are healthy. Experts agree that organic and conventional foods are very similar. Both types are tested for safety as well as quality. Organic produce contains fewer pesticide and other pollutants than conventionally-grown produce.

In general, most grocery stores now offer organic options. Check with your local market if you want organic meat, poultry, dairy, eggs, and seafood. Some companies only sell organic products. Others have separate sections. You should look for USDA Certified Organic, Non GMO Project Verified (Biodynamic Association Certified), Rainforest Alliance Certified, and other certifications.

You should avoid eating these items if you are pregnant or nursing. Pesticides are known to affect unborn babies and infants.
