Frequently Asked Questions
Are organic foods healthier?
According to the Environmental Working Group's recent report on pesticide residues within foods, organic fruits & vegetables contained nearly half of the pesticides that non-organic varieties. 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.
Some studies also suggest that eating organic food helps reduce your exposure to toxic metals, such as mercury and lead. 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 traditional fish should not be consumed by pregnant women, due to high mercury levels.
Overall, organic food does seem to be safer than its non-organic counterpart. Experts recommend eating fresh fruits and veggies whenever possible to reduce the chance of developing cancer.
How do you determine if food has been grown organically?
Fresh ingredients are what chefs value the most. Because we feel better when we eat well.
This holds true for our food. We can identify exactly where and how organic foods were grown when we purchase them. We also know that organics were not treated with harmful chemicals.
Organic foods are made without the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, hormones, steroids, antibiotics, or genetically altered organisms (GMO). These substances are forbidden for organic farmers.
However, organic farming is not an easy task. 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 practices include crop rotation, composting manure, cover cropping, and intercropping. These techniques reduce soil erosion and increase water quality.
They reduce the amount of chemical runoff that can enter waterways. We can also find organic farms in our urban surroundings.
There are two types of certification programs for organic products. The USDA National Organic Program certifies one, while independent certifying agencies certification the other. Both require strict organic standards to be adhered to.
USDA seals and O Seals are symbols that indicate organic certification.
What does it mean to be an organic food producer?
Organic food producers grow organic products without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers. These foods include fruits, vegetables, grains, and dairy products.
Organic food production occurs on farms that have their crops grown naturally. This includes soil preparation, crop rotation, and pest management.
USDA (United States Department of Agriculture), has strict requirements for agricultural products to be certified organic.
These guidelines help consumers access healthy, safe and nutritious foods.
Organic foods have higher nutritional content and better flavor, as well as lower pesticide residues.
USDA Certified Organic products must be labeled with the seal "USDA certified organic".
This certification means that the product meets standards established by the National Organic Program.
As well as ensuring that we eat healthier, organic food also helps protect our environment.
Organic farming methods preserve natural resources, such as water or land. Additionally, organic farming methods help reduce greenhouse gas emission, which can lead to climate change.
Organic agriculture uses fewer chemical inputs and pollutes less.
Because of this, harmful gases such as ammonia and even nitrates will not build up in the air.
There are many types of organic farming, including conventional, regenerative, agroecological, and permaculture.
Conventional farming refers to the use of synthetic inputs such as pesticides and fertilizers.
Regenerative farming involves compost, cover crops, and green manures to improve soil health. It encourages biodiversity.
Agroecology focuses on sustainable relationships between people, plants, and animals.
Permaculture encourages self sufficiency by designing systems that mirror nature.
What are some things I should look out for when purchasing organic goods?
USDA-certified organic labels are recommended. This seal signifies that the product meets specific USDA standards. You will find the USDA Organic seal on all boxes, cartons and cans.
When shopping for meat, ensure it comes from cows fed 100% organic feed. Cattle are ruminants, which means they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle can be found with four stomach compartments: the rumen, the reticulum, omasum, abomasum and omasum. Organic feeding must be done on all organs of the animal in order to get the cow labelled organic 100 percent.
You should only purchase chicken that has been raised organically. It must not have ever been treated with antibiotics. Omnivore chickens can eat both plants as well as animals. Omnivorous chickens have a digestive system that includes a crop (proventriculus), gizzard and small intestine.
Buy dairy products that are 100% organically produced. Like ruminants and dairy cows, they have four stomach compartments. The fourth stomach compartment is the udder.
Check the label when purchasing livestock of any other type to find out what percentage was used in the animal's diet. One example is pork that may be labeled '95% Organic'. This means that 95 percent came from organic sources.

How To
What You Should Know About Organic Foods
Organic foods are produced from plants and animals that have been grown without the use of pesticides, chemical fertilizers or other additives. They are not subject to genetic engineering or the use of ionizing radioactive radiation. The food must contain no artificial ingredients, colourings, flavour enhancers, or preservatives. It should not include genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
The term "organic" was first used in 1845 when chemist Justus von Liebig coined the word "organisch" meaning life-giving, to describe the properties of manure. Nowadays, most people associate the term organic with the production of food. In this context, organic means that the product contains only naturally occurring substances such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and minerals that occur in nature.
The global consumption of organic products has increased dramatically over the past decade. Recent statistics indicate that approximately half of the worldโs population eats at least one organic food per day. This percentage is increasing and will reach 70%, 80% and 90% by 2020.
Organic products are preferred for many reasons. Organic produce can be preferred for its taste; others prefer them for being healthier. Some people believe organic farming to be more environmentally friendly. Some consumers choose non-organic products because of ethical concerns about farm workers' and animal treatment.
While organic food is generally more expensive than traditional foods, prices do vary depending upon where you live. There are many factors that affect the cost of organic food. The availability of suitable land for organic agriculture is one factor. Another is the cost of inputs and labour needed for organic cultivation. The cost of transportation, marketing, and taxes are just a few other factors. In Europe, for example, organic food prices are 10% more than regular food.
Here are some key differences between organic and traditional foods.
- Organic produce is free from synthetic fertilizers, growth regulators, hormones, and antibiotics.
- Organic livestock is fed a diet based on grasses and grains rather than corn and soybean meals.
- Organic milk is produced by cows who eat a diet consisting of pasture grasses and hay.
- All organic raw materials are certified organic.
- Organic fruits and vegetables are not allowed to be grown or processed with pesticides.
- Organic meat, poultry, and seafood are free from radiation.
- Pre-soaking is recommended for raw nuts and seed.
- Organic cooking only uses healthy oils.
- Organic eggs are laid by hens, and have access to the outdoors.
- Traditional methods are used to extract organic honey.
- Organic chocolate uses beans and sugar that have been organically farmed and processed.
- Organic wines don't contain chemical additives.
- The plants used to make organic tea are hand-picked.
- Organic cotton is not treated with pesticides.
- Organic flours, cereals, and breads are free of artificial colours and preservatives.
- All natural shampoos and soaps are free from harsh chemicals.
- All-natural cosmetics for skin are safe
- All natural cleaning products are biodegradable, eco-friendly, and non-toxic.
- All natural bodycare products are dermatologically tested for hypoallergenicity.
- All-natural, fragrance-free personal hygiene products can be safely used by babies.
