Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I choose organic?
Conventional agriculture has been linked to several health problems, including asthma, allergies, obesity, diabetes, cancer, birth defects, hormone imbalances, and other diseases. It is important to make informed choices about food purchases.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) offers the following tips on how to pick "cleaner" food:
Buy organic fruits and vegetables whenever possible.
Look for USDA organic labels on meat, poultry, eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, and honey.
Avoid processed foods that claim to be "natural" and "no additives."
Make sure you read through all the ingredients. If an ingredient is not listed, it can be added during processing.
You should choose fresh meats rather than frozen or canned. Foods that are frozen or canned often have less nutritionally-rich ingredients, such as high fructosecorn syrup.
What are the most loved organic products?
Today, organic foods are the fastest-growing industries. There is still much to be done, even though we have come so far from our roots.
Organic products are the future. They are safer and more cost-effective for consumers.
But they also tend to be higher priced. That is why we developed the Organic Food Index. We wanted to see which foods are most in demand today and how these trends are changing.
These results indicate that organic food is growing in popularity. Between 2011 and 2012 the number of Americans buying organic food increased nearly 50%.
According to USDA, organic production grew by 10% last year. The U.S. now produces 9% of its agricultural output from organic food.
While organic food is certainly gaining ground, it seems that it is still an expensive choice for consumers. The average retail price for organic food is almost twice that of conventional foods, according to the Organic Trade Association (OTA).
The organic food sector is growing faster than other segments of the food supply. Looking closely at the data, you'll see that organic food consumption has grown steadily since 2009.
In fact, according to OTA, the volume of organic products sold in supermarkets grew by 14% between 2010 and 2011.
This increase reflects consumer demand for healthier foods, which explains why organic food sales are increasing across all age groups.
However, the younger generation is leading the charge in choosing organic food. Millennials are twice likely to choose organic food than the baby boomers. 25 percent of organic food purchases are made by young adults younger than 35.
Why is organic foods important?
For our health, organic produce is crucial. It's the best method to ensure you eat healthy foods. It's better for us and more sustainable because it doesn’t depend on pesticides or fertilizers.
Organic farming relies on natural methods to cultivate crops, without the use of harmful chemicals. This means fewer environmental pollutants, making it safer for humans and animals. Organic food is a way to help the environment and protect yourself.
The health benefits of organic foods go well beyond our bodies. We all know the negative effects that processed foods can have on our health. Did you know that organic fruits and veggies aren't subject to chemical spray? This means they are more fresh tasting, last longer and look better.
Organic food is so important. Because it's not only healthy for you, it's healthier for the world.
What are the things to look for when purchasing organic products?
USDA-certified organic label are desirable. This guarantee that the product has met specific standards set forth by USDA. Look out for the USDA Organic seal on boxes, cartons cans and jars.
When purchasing meat, ensure it is 100% organic. Cattle are ruminants, which means they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle have four stomach compartments: rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. If a cow is to be labeled organically, all parts must be organically fed.
Make sure you only buy chicken from chicken farms that are fed organically and have never been given antibiotics. Chickens can eat both animal and plant food. Omnivorous chickens possess a digestive tract made up of a crop.
It is important to ensure that dairy products are from cows that were fed 100% organic feed. Just like ruminants, dairy cows also have four stomachs. The fourth stomach, or the udder is where you get milk.
When purchasing other types of livestock, check the label to see what percentage of the diet the animals were fed. For example, pork may be labelled '95% organic.' This means 95 percent of the pig's feed came from organic sources.

How To
Are there any negatives to buying organic goods?
Organic food offers many benefits. There are however some downsides. These include higher consumer price, lower quality standards, fewer options, and fewer choice.
It's okay to want more variety in grocery shopping. But we've been programmed to expect cheap food that tastes terrible. It's because most grocery stores carry identical prepackaged food.
Organic food is becoming more popular today because it provides better nutrition and great tasting food. So how do you convince people it's worth paying a little extra?
It's possible to tell them that organic food is more expensive. It doesn't change the fact that organic food tastes more delicious. It may even make them question your motives.
Instead, it would be best if you highlighted its advantages. Organic food is more nutritious, has fewer pesticides, and uses fewer antibiotics. It's also grown without synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, so it's better for the environment and us.
Organic food is often avoided because it's too costly. However, if they look at the health benefits, organic food may be worth the cost.
Organic food tastes better because it is produced according to strict guidelines. Organic food tends to have more vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other nutrients.
Organic food is also more delicious because it's harvested later in the season. This makes it easier to digest and fresher.
Finally, organic food is generally cheaper because farmers grow it organically, which requires less labour and fertilizer.
