Frequently Asked Questions

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 buy organic fruits & vegetables.

USDA organic labels are required for meat, poultry, eggs and milk.

Avoid processed foods labelled "natural"/ "no additives."

Make sure you read through all the ingredients. If an ingredient isn’t listed, it might be added 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.

What is organic?

Organic meat refers to real food grown without the use artificial fertilizers, pesticides, or hormones. Organic meat is also a guarantee that the animals weren’t fed any genetically altered feed. It is safe to eat because it doesn't contain any harmful chemicals.

Organic meats are good for the environment. Organic foods reduce pollution in rivers, lakes and landfills. Organic farmers generally don't use toxic chemicals that kill birds and insects. We help to protect wildlife.

It is best to buy organic meats locally as much as possible. Local buying helps to keep money in the community, rather than moving out of state. Local businesses often pass down savings to customers when they shop locally. Shopping locally keeps American jobs in America, rather than sending them abroad.

What is an organic food processor?

Organic food producers use organic methods to grow their products. These foods include fruits and vegetables, grains, as well as dairy products.

Organic food production happens on farms where crops have been naturally nurtured. This includes soil preparation, pest control, and crop rotation.

Organic products must meet certain criteria established by USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) before they can be considered organic.

These guidelines make it possible for consumers to have safe, healthy, and delicious food.

The benefits of eating organic range from lower levels of pesticide residues and heavy metal contamination to higher nutrient content and better flavour.

USDA organic products must carry the USDA Certified Organic seal.

This certification means that the product meets standards established by the National Organic Program.

Organic food helps us eat healthier and also protects the environment.

Organic farming techniques help preserve natural resources such as water and land. Organic farming techniques also help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions which contributes 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 and varieties of organic farming.

Conventional farming uses synthetic inputs such pesticides and fertilizers.

Regenerative farming uses compost, cover crops, green manures, and other methods to improve the soil's health. It encourages biodiversity.

Agroecology focuses on sustainable relationships between people, plants, and animals.

Permaculture promotes self sufficiency through the creation of systems that imitate nature.

Statistics

• Popular clothing brands, like Patagonia, are labelled as organic by using 100 percent organic cotton for many of their styles. (en.wikipedia.org)
• Brands participating in this challenge are committed to using 100 percent sustainable cotton by 2025.[5] (en.wikipedia.org)
• When packaged products indicate they are “made with organic [specific ingredient or food group],” they contain at least 70% organically produced ingredients. (usda.gov)
• As for organic meat, regulations require that animals be raised in living conditions that accommodate their natural behaviours (like the ability to graze on pasture), fed 100% organic feed and forage, and not administered antibiotics or hormones. (usda.gov)

How To

What you should know about organic food

Organic foods come from plants and animals without chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or additives. They can't be genetically modified or exposed to ionizing radiation. The food must not contain artificial flavours, colours, flavour enhancements, or preservatives. It must not contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

In 1845, Justus Von Liebig, an aspiring chemist and entrepreneur, created the term "organic" to describe the properties found in manure. Most people associate organic production with food. Organic is a product that contains only naturally occurring substances, such a proteins, fats, or minerals.

In the past decades, the consumption of organic products has grown dramatically worldwide. According to statistics, approximately 50% of the world’s population consumes at minimum one organic product each day. This percentage is increasing and will reach 70%, 80% and 90% by 2020.

There are many reasons consumers choose organic products. Organic produce can be preferred for its taste; others prefer them for being healthier. Some people believe organic farming to be more environmentally friendly. However, there are also ethical concerns regarding the treatment of farm workers and animals, which is why some consumers opt for non-organic products.

While organic food is generally more expensive than traditional foods, prices do vary depending upon where you live. Organic food prices are affected by many factors. One is the availability and cost of land that can be used for organic agriculture. Another factor is the price of inputs as well as labour for organic farming. Transportation costs, marketing expenses, and taxes are all factors. In Europe, for instance, the average price for organic food in Europe is 10% higher than its regular price.
