Frequently Asked Questions

How do you know if your food is organic?

Any chef will tell you fresh ingredients are more important than any other ingredient. Because we feel better when we eat well.

The same applies to our food. We know where our organic food came from and how it has been grown. We also know that it wasn't treated with harmful chemicals.

Organic foods can be made without synthetic pesticides. These substances aren't permitted for organic farmers.

There is no art in growing organic crops. There are plenty of ways to grow them safely.

Many people refer to organic agriculture as sustainable agriculture. This means that while it uses fewer resources than conventional methods, it provides the necessary nutrients to sustain life.

Organic farming methods include crop rotations, composting manure and cover cropping. These techniques prevent soil erosion while improving water quality.

They reduce the amount of chemical runoff that can enter waterways. Since most of us live in urban areas, we can find local farms that raise organic produce.

There are two types of certification programs for organic products. One is certified through the USDA National Organic Program and the other by independent certifying agents. Both require strict organic standards to be adhered to.

USDA seals or O Seals can be applied to organic products. This symbol indicates that the product meets federal requirements.

What are the top organic products?

Organic food is the fastest-growing industry today. Even though we have come a long ways from our roots there is still plenty of room for growth.

Organic products are the future. They are safer, healthier for the environment, and easier to afford for consumers.

But they also tend to be higher priced. That's why we created the Organic Food Index. We wanted to know which foods are popular today and whether trends are changing.

The results show that organic food is becoming increasingly popular. Between 2011-2012, nearly half of Americans shopped for organic foods.

According to USDA, organic food production increased by 10% only last year. Organic food now makes up 9% U.S. agriculture output.

Organic food is growing in popularity but is still expensive. According to the Organic Trade Association OTA, organic food retail prices are about twice those of conventional products.

The organic food sector is growing faster than other segments of the food supply. You'll notice that organic food consumption has increased steadily since 2009.

According to OTA's data, organic products sold in supermarkets grew at 14% between 2010 - 2011.

This increase is due to consumers' demand for healthier foods. It is why organic food sales are growing across all ages.

The younger generation is however leading the charge for organic food. Millennials are twice as likely to buy organic food compared to baby boomers. Young adults below 35 years of age account for 25%.

What's the difference between organic foods and inorganic food?

Organic food does not contain pesticides, chemical fertilisers, sewage waste, irradiation, genetic modification. Organic farming practices improve soil health and water quality as well as animal welfare.

Inorganic foods can be grown using pesticides, chemical fertilizers and sewage sludge. Radiation is used to treat irradiated food; biological engineering techniques are used to create genetically modified organisms (GMO).

The term "natural", often used interchangeably to mean "organic," is frequently used. Natural does not necessarily have to mean organic. There are also products labelled "natural" which may contain synthetic ingredients.

Organic produce is more nutritious than traditional produce due to the fact that it contains less harmful chemicals and pesticides. Organic farmers are free from artificial fertilizers and pesticides.

How To

Is there anything negative about buying organic products?

Organic food has numerous benefits. There are, however, some drawbacks. These include higher consumer costs, lower quality standards and fewer options.

You can't go wrong with wanting more options when it comes grocery shopping. We're conditioned to expect low-quality foods that taste bad. 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. How can you convince people to pay a little more?

But you could still tell them that organic foods are more expensive. However, this doesn't mean that organic food tastes better. It may even make them question your motives.

Instead, you should highlight its many benefits. Organic food is healthier and contains less pesticides, antibiotics, and it has higher nutritional content. Plus, it's grown without synthetic fertilizers and herbicides, which means it's healthier for us and our environment.

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. As a result, it tends to retain more vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

Organic food is also tastier because it's picked later in the season. This makes organic food fresher and easier for you to digest.

Organic food is often cheaper as it's grown organically which requires less labor and fertilizer.
