Frequently Asked Questions

Are there health benefits to eating organic food?

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 not grown with harmful chemicals that could pose a risk to human health.

The use of additives in the processing process is also less common. You're more likely to eat organic products than you are non-organic.

Studies show that organic foods contain more nutrients and antioxidants than conventionally grown fruits and vegetables.

Even though organic farming methods can be more costly than conventional farming methods they are often more productive. Organic farming increases soil fertility and biodiversity.

This helps conserve water resources and protects against erosion. Organic farms require less fuel and energy because they don't contain toxic chemicals.

Some people worry that organic foods are more expensive than conventional ones. Prices can vary depending on where you live. Organic apples, for example, are more expensive than regular apples.

However, organic fruit is more affordable if you compare the price of a basket of both types.

So should you go organic?

It all depends on who you are. You shouldn't bother if you don't enjoy organic food.

Organic food can be purchased if you like good-tasting food. Organic foods are safer as most commercial growers use chemical fertilisers, pesticides, or genetically modified species (GMOs) to produce their crops.

Organic agriculture preserves our environment by conserving natural resource and encouraging biodiversity.

How do I find out if my produce's organic?

These three labels are essential if you want to be certain that you are purchasing organic produce.

USDA Organic Certified – This certification is issued by USDA to ensure that the product is 100% organic.

Certified Naturally-Grown - Produce which has passed strict organic practices requirements, but not yet received USDA certification.

Pastured/Free Range – Produced from animals that live outdoors and graze on grasses or herbs.

These labels are used to indicate that the product meets specified criteria.

• No synthetic fertilizers or pesticides
• There are no genetically modified organisms
• No antibiotics are ever given to the animal
• No hormones are ever given to the animal
• No growth-promoting drugs
• No feed additives
• No artificial ingredients
• No irradiation
• There's no sewage waste sludge
• GMOs prohibited
• There have never been any antibiotics given.
• No hormones ever given
• No growth-promoting drugs
• No feed-additives
• No artificial ingredients
• No sewage sludge (if it's a non-GMO)
• No irradiation

What are the most loved organic products?

Today, organic foods are the fastest-growing industries. But even though we've come a long way from our roots, there is still much room for growth.

Organic products are the future. Organic products are safer, more sustainable, and cheaper for consumers.

They are also generally more expensive. We created the Organic Food Index. We wanted the ability to identify which foods are currently most popular and whether these trends have changed.

The results show that organic food is becoming increasingly popular. Between 2011-2012, nearly half of Americans shopped for organic foods.

The USDA reported that organic production rose by 10% in the 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), average retail prices for organic food are almost double those of conventional alternatives.

Organic food is growing faster that any other sector of the food industry. If you examine the data closely, you will see that organic foods have grown steadily in consumption since 2009.

According to OTA, organic products sold in supermarkets grew 14% between 2010-2011.

This is because consumers are looking for healthier foods. Organic food sales have been increasing in all age groups.

However, the younger generation is leading the charge in choosing organic food. Millennials are twice more likely to purchase organic food than baby boomers. Young adults aged below 35 account for 25%.

What are organic products for beauty?

Organic Beauty Products contain natural ingredients without artificial chemicals, such as parabens and phenoxyethanol. These ingredients are present in all conventional beauty products including shampoos and cosmetics.

Organic beauty products do not require animal testing and are free of genetically modified organisms (GMO).

The USDA defines organic production as "a system of production which fosters the cycle of resources" and it has been used since decades to refer to foods grown without pesticides.

Because of the damaging effects of chemical substances on our health, there has been an increase in demand for eco friendly beauty products.

These include allergies, cancer, skin irritation, hormonal imbalance, early aging, and skin irritation.

Organic beauty businesses are committed to providing safe, healthy products that consumers can use while protecting the environment.

How can you tell whether food is organic?

Fresh ingredients are what chefs value the most. It's because we feel better when food is well-prepared.

The same goes for our food. We know where our organic food came from and how it has been grown. It was not treated with harmful chemicals.

Organic food does not contain synthetic pesticides, fertilers, hormones or antibiotics. These substances are not permitted to organic farmers.

There is no art in growing organic crops. There are plenty of ways to grow them safely.

Sustainable agriculture is sometimes called organic farming. This means that while it uses fewer resources than conventional methods, it provides the necessary nutrients to sustain life.

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

They reduce chemical runoff from waterways. Many of us live in urban areas so we have access to local farms that produce organic produce.

There are two types of certification 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.

USDA seals and O Seals may be used to identify organic products that meet federal standards.

Why should you buy organic?

Conventional agriculture has been linked to several health problems, including asthma, allergies, obesity, diabetes, cancer, birth defects, hormone imbalances, and other diseases. Healthy choices must be made when purchasing food.

The Environmental Working Group has the following tips for choosing "cleaner" food.

As much as possible, purchase organic fruits or vegetables

USDA organic labels should be used on meat, poultry and eggs as well as milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, honey, and other dairy products.

Avoid processed foods marked "natural" or with "no additives."

Be sure to read all ingredient labels. If an ingredient isn't listed, it may be added during processing.

Frozen and canned meats should be preferred to fresh. Canned and frozen foods can often have lower nutritional content like high fructose syrup.

What is organic food?

Organic food is produced without the use of artificial fertilizers and pesticides. These chemicals can cause health problems in organic foods.

Organic food is free from harmful substances like pesticides and herbicides. These chemicals can be harmful to both animals and people.

Inorganic food is meat, fish, eggs and dairy products, including butter, yogurts honey, yogurts, butter, cream, cheese, butter, yogurts, honey and grains.

Organic refers specifically to the method an agricultural product has been grown. Organic farming, for example, uses natural methods and soil amendments in order to grow crops. Conventional farming, however, uses pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.

U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines must be followed when organic food is labeled. 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. Additionally, organic food must be raised without toxic chemicals, petroleum-based fertilizers, sewage sludges, or ionizing radiation.

Statistics

• Once certified by the USDA, it can fall into one of four categories: "100 percent organic", "organic," "made with organic ingredients," or "made with less than 70 percent organic ingredients. (en.wikipedia.org)
• Nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids were up to 50 percent higher in organic meats and milk than in conventionally raised products.[3] (en.wikipedia.org)
• As for organic meat, regulations require that animals be raised in living conditions that accommodate their natural behaviours (like the ability to graze on pasture), fed 100% organic feed and forage, and not administered antibiotics or hormones. (usda.gov)
• Popular clothing brands, like Patagonia, are labelled as organic by using 100 percent organic cotton for many of their styles. (en.wikipedia.org)

How To

Organic food: Are they healthier and better for you?

Organic foods are produced without the use of chemical pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. They are grown under natural conditions without artificial inputs such as fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, hormones, antibiotics, or genetic engineering. Organic farming practices include crop rotation, cover crops, composting animal manure, recycling wastewater, and integrated pest management (IPM).

In 2002, the USDA National Organic Program (NOP), was established to regulate the sale, purchase, labelling, production, and distribution of organic products in the United States. The NOP regulations ensure that organic agricultural products are produced according to federal standards outlined in the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Additionally, organic products must not contain prohibited substances like pesticide residues or genetically modified organisms.

Two types of certification programs are available in the United States for producers who wish to have their products labeled organic. One is for farmers and ranchers; one is for manufacturers. Each program requires an annual audit of operations to ensure compliance with strict standards. This service is offered by several certifying agents, such as the CCOF Certified Organic Farmers & Ranchers or Quality Assurance International. These organizations offer third-party verification that farms adhere to strict guidelines about environmental stewardship and labour practices.

According to the USDA's Economic Research Service, organic agriculture accounted for $4.7 billion in sales in 2013. Retail spending on certified organic products reached nearly $1.5 Billion in 2013. This is a 23 per cent increase from 2009. Sales at grocery stores were up 12 percent during this period. Spending on organic produce directly increased by 29.9%, while meat, poultry eggs, and seafood spending grew only by 1%.

While organic food costs more, consumers say its quality justifies the added expense. According to a 2015 survey conducted by Consumer Reports, 88 percent of respondents said they would pay more for organic food if it meant higher nutritional value. Health Affairs also published a study showing that organic foods are less likely for people to get heart disease, diabetes, cancer, or obesity.

Although there is no evidence eating organic foods prevents or treats any diseases, some studies suggest that consuming them might improve overall health by reducing exposure to specific contaminants and pesticides. One example is the conclusion reached by a review of 31 studies, published in 2010, that organically reared beef was significantly less toxic than conventionally-raised beef. A separate analysis of 11 publications from 2012 produced similar results.

A 2014 report from the Environmental Working Group looked at data from the Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Resource Center and found that the incidence of foodborne illness caused by E. coli, salmonella, listeria monocytogenes, campylobacter, and verotoxin-producing E. coli O157:H7 decreased when comparing organic to non-organic chicken, pork, beef, lamb, milk, and cheese. The group also noted that the incidence of human illnesses due to E. coli O157 declined among children and adults after 2006, when the USDA started requiring more stringent organic standards for animals raised for consumption.
