Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between organic food and inorganic?
Organic food is made without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Organic farming practices are good for soil health, water quality, animal welfare, and the environment.
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.
The term "natural", often used interchangeably to mean "organic," is frequently used. But, "natural" does not necessarily refer to organic. You may also find products that are labeled as "natural", which could contain synthetic ingredients.

"Organic" is defined by the USDA as crops that have been grown following strict guidelines set forth in federal government standards. To grow these foods, farmers cannot use non-organic (or conventional) methods. However, they can use approved natural methods to control pests, like crop rotation and cover crops, or animal feed made of organic materials.
A farmer must also adhere to guidelines about how much fertilizer or pesticide he applies during the growing season. Also, he must rotate his fields between different crops. GMOs, synthetic insecicides, artificial growth hormones or synthetic fertilizers can't be used by farmers.
Produces labelled as 100% organic meet all requirements. Some farms don't label their products 100% organic, as it could confuse consumers. Instead, they will label the product as "made from organic ingredients". "

How To
What happens to the body when you switch over to organic products
Organic products do not contain synthetic fertilizers or hormones. They come from clean water sources, and are raised on free-range animals. Organic means that they are free from chemicals and additives. This product was produced by nature and therefore contains no harmful substances.
Natural refers to the way food was grown. It's used to describe foods that have not been altered 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. Some people think natural does not necessarily mean healthy. Experts say that there aren't many differences between organic and conventional food. Both types can be tested for safety and quality. Organic produce contains fewer pesticide and other pollutants than conventionally-grown produce.
In general, most grocery stores now offer organic options. For organic meats, poultry, eggs and seafood, you should check with your local supermarket. Some companies sell only organic products; others have separate sections for them. USDA Certified Organic is a non-GMO Project Verified company.
