Frequently Asked Questions

Organic foods are better for us.

According to the Environmental Working Group’s latest report on pesticide residues, organic fruits/vegetables had nearly half as many pesticides than 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 example, one study showed that children who ate organic meat had 33 percent lower blood lead levels than those who didn't consume organic meats. A second study found that conventional fish should be avoided by pregnant women due to the 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.

What is the difference between organic food and inorganic?

Organic food does not contain pesticides, chemical fertilisers, sewage waste, irradiation, genetic modification. Organic farming practices contribute to soil health, water purity, and animal welfare.

Inorganic food is grown with pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Radiated foods can be treated with radiation. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are created by biological engineering techniques.

"Natural" is sometimes used interchangeably in the context of "organic." But natural does not necessarily imply organic. Natural products can also be labeled with synthetic ingredients.

Organic produce is more nutritious than traditional produce due to the fact that it contains less harmful chemicals and pesticides. Organic farmers are free from artificial fertilizers and pesticides.

What should I be looking out for when shopping organic products

USDA-certified organic labels should be sought. This seal signifies that the product meets specific USDA standards. On packages, boxes, cartons or cans, look out for the USDA Organic seal.

When buying meat, make sure it is from organically fed cows. Ruminants are cattle that chew their cud. Ruminant cattle have four stomach areas: rumen (reticulum), omasum (omasum), and abomasum. If the cow is to be labeled "100% organic", all of its parts must have been organically fed.

You should only purchase chicken that has been raised organically. It must not have ever been treated with antibiotics. Omnivore chickens eat both animals and plants. 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, or the udder is where you get milk.

If you are buying other types of livestock, make sure to check the label to determine the percentage of their diet. One example is pork that may be labeled '95% Organic'. This means that 95 percent came from organic sources.

What are the benefits to organic farming?

Organic farming allows farmers to produce food using only natural methods. Farmers do not need to worry about harmful pesticides harming their crops or animals.

Organic farming also permits for the use of natural fertilizers. These fertilizers aid in the growth of healthy plants as well as reducing the amount chemical waste.

Organic farming is also sustainable. Organic farming is also environmentally friendly. Farmers often use composting to recycle nutrients back into their soil. This reduces pollution and preserves valuable resources.

Organic farming improves crop yields while also helping the environment. 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 aware about the dangers associated with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and other chemicals will choose healthier foods.

This has increased the demand for organic foods. Organic farming is gaining popularity because of these reasons.

What are organic products that can be used on the skin?

Organic skincare products don't contain any synthetic chemicals such as parabens or phthalates.

Organic skincare products are also free of artificial colours, fragrances, preservatives, emulsifiers, GMOs, petrochemicals, animal testing (except cosmetics tested on animals), pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, heavy metals, and other contaminants.

They are also formulated to help maintain healthy skin, prevent premature aging, promote healing after injury, and support overall well-being.

Here are some common terms you might encounter when searching for organic products

• Paraben Free: These are chemicals that keep certain cosmetic products stable. However, they can be toxic if used in large quantities.
• Fragrance-Free means that the product doesn't contain any essential oils or fragrances.
• Cruelty-Free--No animals were hurt in the manufacturing process.
• Natural Ingredients - The ingredient is derived naturally from the animal or plant.
• Vegetarian/Vegetarian - All ingredients are vegan or vegetarian.
• Gluten-Free: This is when gluten was eliminated from the formulation.
• Non-Toxic: The product does not contain toxic substances, carcinogens or any other harmful compounds that could cause harm to your health.
• Biodegradable - The product will eventually be broken down into harmless parts when it is disposed of.
• Pesticide Free – There were no pesticides used during the harvesting or growing process.
• GMO-Free means that no ingredient in the product contains genetically modified organisms.
• Certified Organic means that all the ingredients have been grown using methods that protect the soil and water as well as wildlife and farmers.

What are the health benefits of organic foods?

Organic foods may not be healthy for everyone. But for those who eat them regularly, there are definite health benefits.

Organic food is produced without artificial fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, hormones, antibiotics, or genetic engineering. Organic produce is not grown with harmful chemicals that could pose a risk to human health.

There are also fewer additives used during processing. You're more likely to eat organic products than you are non-organic.

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. Organic farming increases soil fertility and biodiversity.

This helps prevent erosion and conserve water. 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. However, prices will vary depending on where one lives. Organic apples, for example, are more expensive than regular apples.

If you take a look at the cost of a basket containing both types of fruits, you will see that organic is less expensive.

Should you buy organic?

It all depends on your personality. It doesn't matter if organic food isn't for you.

You can still buy organic food if your preference is for good tasting food. 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.

Are organic meats better?

If you have been paying attention for long enough, you will probably know the answer. But here's the rub, organic food is becoming more popular while conventional food continues to fall out of favour.

Organic foods are more appealing because they are healthier. Organic foods are also safer for our overall health and reduce pollution.

There are two sides to the coin. Organic produce takes longer to grow and requires more resources to do so. This means organic food will cost more than its non-organic counterpart.

Organic meats are typically higher priced than conventionally raised animals. However, it is possible to reduce costs without compromising on quality.

Locally grown produce is a great way to save money. Buying locally grown fruits and vegetables helps keep prices low because farmers receive incentives to grow healthy crops.

Another way to cut costs is to look for deals. Many organic products can be purchased at a discount.

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 organic foods are better for our bodies and the environment, but we need to be mindful of the cost.

Statistics

• According to a study performed by consumerreports.org, organic products, compared to non-organic products, ranged anywhere from 13 percent cheaper to 303 percent more expensive. (en.wikipedia.org)

How To

Organic foods are healthier and more nutritious.

Organic foods are grown without the use chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. They are grown in natural conditions and without the use of any artificial inputs like fungicides or herbicides. Organic farming practices include crop rotation and cover crops, the composting of animal manure, the recycling of wastewater, as well as 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. Furthermore, the NOP rules require organic products to be free of banned substances such as pesticides residues and growth hormones.

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 USDA’s Economic Research Service, organic farming accounted for $4.7Billion in 2013 sales. In 2013, organic agriculture accounted for $4.7 billion in sales. This represents a 23-percent increase over 2009. Sales at grocery stores were up 12 percent during this period. Spending on direct purchases of organic produce increased by 29 percent, while spending on meat, poultry, eggs, dairy, and seafood grew by only 1 percent.

Although organic food can be more expensive than regular food, many consumers feel that its quality is well worth the additional cost. Consumer Reports found that 88 per cent of respondents would be willing to pay more for organic food if the nutritional value was higher. Health Affairs also published a study showing that organic foods are less likely for people to get heart disease, diabetes, cancer, or obesity.

Even though there is no evidence organic foods cause or treat diseases, some studies show that they can improve overall health by reducing pesticide and other contaminants exposure. 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 eleven studies published in 2012 led to similar conclusions.

According to a 2014 report by the Environmental Working Group, the incidence of foodborne disease caused by E.coli, salmonella or listeria monocytogenes, E. coli and E. coli O157H7 was lower when organic chicken, non-organic pork, beef, lamb and milk were compared. After 2006, when USDA required stricter organic standards in animal raising for human consumption, the group noted that E.coli O157 was less common among children and adults.
