Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference in organic and non-organic foods?

Organic food is free from pesticides, chemical fertilizers and sewage sludge. It can also be grown without irradiation or genetic modification. Organic farming practices support soil health, water quality, and animal welfare.

Inorganic foods are grown with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and sewage sludge. Radiated foods are those that have been exposed to radiation. Genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, are created using biological engineering techniques.

"Organic" and "natural" are often interchangeable. But, "natural" does not necessarily refer to organic. Products labelled "natural", however, may contain synthetic chemicals.

Organic produce is typically more nutritious than conventional produce because the soil contains fewer harmful chemicals and pesticides. Organic farmers do not use pesticides, artificial fertilizers, hormones, anti-biotics, and other harmful chemicals.

Organic means it is free from pesticides?

Organic food is free from pesticides and chemical fertilizers. This means that organic food is not exposed to pesticides or fertilizers.

Organic produce also contains more nutrients than conventionally produced foods because it contains no harmful additives.

The USDA National Organic Program requires that organic farming practices be followed by farmers.

These guidelines include soil preparation, crop rotation, pest control, water conservation, and harvesting practices.

In addition, organic farming methods promote healthy ecosystems, which benefit wildlife and natural habitats.

Are organic foods good for your health?

Organic foods may not be healthy for everyone. However, regular consumption of organic foods can have health benefits.

Organic food does not contain artificial fertilizers or pesticides. It also doesn't contain fungicides. This means that organic produce is grown without harmful chemicals that could harm human health.

There are also fewer additives used during processing. Organic products are likely to be healthier than nonorganic.

Studies have shown that organic foods are more nutritious and rich in antioxidants than fruits and veggies grown from conventional sources.

While organic farming is generally more expensive than conventional farming, they often produce better results. Organic farming increases soil fertility and biodiversity.

This helps to prevent erosion and conserve water resources. Organic farms do not require toxic chemicals to operate. They also use less energy and fuel.

People are worried that organic foods may be more expensive then conventional. Prices will vary depending where you live. Organic apples, on the other hand, tend to be more expensive that conventional apples.

But if you look at the total price of a basket of both types of fruit, you'll see that buying organic is cheaper.

So should you go organic?

It all depends upon who you are. If you don't like the taste of organic food, then you probably shouldn't bother.

However, if you enjoy good-tasting food, you can buy organic food. Organic foods are safer than conventional food because they don't contain chemical pesticides or fertilizers.

Organic agriculture helps to protect the environment by conserving natural resources, and promoting biodiversity.

Organic food has numerous benefits. There are however some downsides. There are also higher consumer prices and lower quality standards.

Organic food is popular because it is healthier and tastes better. How do you convince people that it is worth the extra effort?

But you could still tell them that organic foods are more expensive. Organic food tastes better, but that doesn't make it any less expensive. This might make them suspicious about your motives.
