Organic products are the future. Organic products are safer, more sustainable, and cheaper for consumers.

But they tend to be more expensive. This is why we created the Organic Food Index. We wanted the ability to identify which foods are currently most popular and whether these trends have changed.

These results indicate that organic food is growing in popularity. The number of Americans shopping for organic food grew by nearly 50% between 2011 and 2012.

The USDA reported that organic production rose by 10% in the last year. The U.S. now produces 9% of its agricultural output from organic food.

Organic food is growing in popularity but is still expensive. According to the Organic Trade Association, (OTA), organic food retail prices are nearly twice as expensive than conventional options.

According to OTA the volume of organic products sold at supermarkets grew by 14% in 2010 and 2011.

This increase reflects consumer demand for healthier foods, which explains why organic food sales are increasing across all age groups.

Younger generations are choosing organic food more often than older generations. Millennials are twice as likely than baby boomers to buy organic foods. Young adults aged below 35 account for 25%.

Why should I go organic?

Many health issues have been linked to conventional agriculture, including obesity, diabetes and cancer. It is important to make informed choices about food purchases.

The Environmental Working Group offers these tips:

Always purchase organic fruits, vegetables and other products whenever possible.

USDA organic labels can be found on meat, poultry (eggs, eggs), milk, cheese and yogurt as well.

Avoid processed foods labeled as "natural" or "no additives."

Make sure you read through all the ingredients. If an ingredient doesn't appear on the list, it could be added to the product during processing.

Fresh meats are better than canned or frozen. Frozen and canned foods often contain less nutrient-rich ingredients like high fructose corn syrup.

Which organic vegetables are best?

Organic vegetables are the most nutritious and healthy food source for humans. They are considered to be the healthiest foods on earth.

Organic produce is organically grown without pesticides. These chemicals pose severe dangers to our health as well as the environment.

Organic produce is also richer in nutrients, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. This makes them more healthy because organic produce absorbs nutrients better.

Organic vegetables are delicious and safe to eat. Consuming organic produce has no known side effects.

All grocery stores can carry organic produce. You can find organic fruits and vegetables at all grocery stores as long as they conform to USDA guidelines.

Are organic foods healthier?

According to the Environmental Working Group, organic vegetables and fruits had half the amount of pesticides as non-organic. They discovered that organic apples contained eight more pesticides per gram than non-organic ones, while organic strawberries contained four times as many pesticides.

Studies have also shown that organic foods reduce the risk of mercury and lead poisoning. One study revealed that children who ate organic meat had 33 per cent lower blood lead levels than their counterparts who didn't eat organic meats. Another study concluded traditional fish should not be consumed by pregnant women, due to high mercury levels.

Organic food seems to be safer than the non-organic. However, to reduce your risk of cancer and other diseases, experts recommend choosing fresh fruit and vegetables whenever possible.

Is organic a guarantee that the product is pesticide-free

Organic food is chemical-free and grown without pesticides. This means there is little or no exposure to chemicals such as fertilizers and herbicides.

Because it is free from harmful additives, organic produce has higher nutritional value than conventionally produced food.

It must not contain any artificial colours, flavour enhancers, flavor enhancers, and preservatives. It should not contain genetically modified animals (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. Most people associate organic with food production. Organic refers to products that only contain naturally occurring substances, such as carbohydrates, proteins, and minerals, which are all found in nature.

Over the past decade, organic products have seen a dramatic increase in consumption. Recent statistics show that around half of the world's population consumes at most one organic product per day. This percentage is increasing and will reach 70%, 80% and 90% by 2020.

Organic products are preferred for many reasons. Some like the taste, others prefer them because they believe organic produce is healthier, while some think organic farming is more environmentally friendly. Some consumers choose non-organic products because of ethical concerns about farm workers' and animal treatment.

Organic foods are more expensive than those made from conventional food, though prices may vary by country and region. There are many factors that influence the cost of organic foods. One factor is the availability of land suitable for organic agriculture. Another factor is the price of inputs as well as labour for organic farming.
