Frequently Asked Questions

What are some of the benefits of organic agriculture?

Organic farming gives farmers the opportunity to grow food without the use of chemical pesticides. Farmers do not need to worry about harmful pesticides harming their crops or animals.

Organic farming allows for natural fertilizers to be used. These fertilizers aid in the growth of healthy plants as well as reducing the amount chemical waste.

Organic farming can also be environmentally friendly. Organic farming is also environmentally friendly. Farmers often use composting to recycle nutrients back into their soil. This reduces pollutants and conserves precious resources.

As well as helping the environment, organic farming increases crop yields. This is due to the fact that organic farming uses much less water during growth season.

Organic production methods result in farmers receiving higher prices. Consumers who are more informed about the dangers of pesticides or chemical fertilizers will demand healthier food.

This raises the demand to produce organic food products. Organic farming is gaining popularity because of these reasons.

What are organic foods?

Organic produce can be grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. No growth hormones are used. Animal testing is also not done. These crops can be grown naturally by farmers, and they don't need to be treated with chemicals to control pests or weeds.

Organic farming methods also help to preserve soil quality, reduce erosion, and conserve water resources. Organic foods are healthier than conventional foods because they have more nutrients. Organic foods are often higher in fiber, lower in fat, and less calories than those produced conventionally.

Why should I go organic?

There have been many health problems linked to conventional farming, including allergies, asthma, diabetes, obesity, cancer, birth defects and hormone imbalances. It is important to make informed choices about food purchases.

The Environmental Working Group (EWG), offers these tips to help you choose "cleaner" foods:

Always purchase organic fruits, vegetables and other products whenever possible.

USDA organic labels can be found on meat, poultry (eggs, eggs), milk, cheese and yogurt as well.

Avoid processed foods labeled as "natural" or "no additives."

Carefully review ingredient lists. If an ingredient isn’t listed, it might be added during processing.

Choose fresh meats over frozen or canned ones. Cans and frozen foods are often less nutritious than fresh meats, such as high fructose corn syrup.

What are the things to look for when purchasing organic products?

USDA-certified organic labels are desirable. This seal signifies that the product meets specific USDA standards. Look for the "USDA Organic" seal on packages, boxes, cartons, cans, and jars.

When purchasing meat, ensure it is 100% organic. Cattle are ruminants, which means they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle have four stomach areas: rumen (reticulum), omasum (omasum), and abomasum. All parts of an animal must be organically fed if the cow is going to be labelled '100% organic.'

Make sure you only buy chicken from chicken farms that are fed organically and have never been given antibiotics. Omnivore chickens can eat both plants as well as animals. The digestive tract of an omnivorous chicken is composed of a crop and proventriculus, gizzard as well as small intestine, large intestinale, and anus.

When buying dairy products, ensure they come from cows fed 100% organically grown feed. Just like ruminants, dairy cows also have four stomachs. The fourth stomach compartment is the udder.

To find out the percent of the feed the animals received when you purchase other types livestock, be sure to read the labels. One example is pork that may be labeled '95% Organic'. This means that 95 percent came from organic sources.

Are organic foods better?

According to the Environmental Working Group, organic vegetables and fruits had half the amount of pesticides as non-organic. They found that organic apples contained eight times fewer pesticides than non-organic apples, while organic strawberries were four times cleaner than their conventional counterparts.

Other studies suggest that eating organic food reduces exposure to toxic metals like lead and mercury. For instance, one study showed that children who consumed organic meat had 33% less blood lead levels than children who did not. Another study concluded that pregnant women should avoid consuming conventional fish due to high levels of mercury.

Overall, organic food does seem to be safer than its non-organic counterpart. Experts recommend fresh vegetables and fruits whenever possible in order to reduce the risk of getting cancer.
