Frequently Asked Questions

What are some things I should look out for when purchasing organic goods?

USDA-certified organic label are desirable. This certifies that the product has met certain standards set by USDA. Look for the "USDA Organic" seal on packages, boxes, cartons, cans, and jars.

When shopping for meat ensure it comes only from cows that are fed 100% organic feed. Ruminants are cattle that chew their cud. Ruminant cattle have four stomach areas: rumen (reticulum), omasum (omasum), and abomasum. All parts of an animal must be organically fed if the cow is going to be labelled '100% organic.'

Buy chicken from only organic chickens that have been fed 100% organic food and are not given antibiotics. Chickens are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and animals. The digestive tract of an omnivorous chicken is composed of a crop and proventriculus, gizzard as well as small intestine, large intestinale, and anus.

Buy only dairy products from cows that have been fed organically grown feed. Like ruminants, dairy cattle have four stomachs. Milk comes from the fourth stomach compartment--the udder.

You should always check the label before purchasing any other livestock. This will let you know what percentage of the diet was given to the animals. Pork may be labeled "95% Organic" which means that 95 percent of its feed was organic.

Are organic foods better for us?

According to the Environmental Working Group's latest report on pesticide residues in foods, organic fruits and vegetables had nearly half the level of pesticides compared with non-organic versions. The Environmental Working Group found that organic apples contained eight-times less pesticides than other non-organic fruits, and organic strawberries had fourfold more than their conventional counterparts.

Studies have also shown that organic foods reduce the risk of mercury and lead poisoning. A study concluded that children who ate organic meat had 33% lower levels of blood lead than those who didn’t. Another study concluded traditional fish should not be consumed by pregnant women, due to high mercury levels.

Organic food is generally safer than non-organic. Experts recommend fresh vegetables and fruits whenever possible in order to reduce the risk of getting cancer.

Does organic mean it is pesticide-free?

Organic food is naturally chemical-free and grows without pesticides. This means that organic foods are not subject to chemical pesticides or fertilizers.

Because organic produce is free of harmful additives, it also has more nutrients than conventionally grown foods.

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

These guidelines cover soil preparation, crop rotation and pest control. They also include water conservation and harvesting techniques.

Organic farming methods also benefit wildlife and natural environments.

Is organic meat better?

If you have been paying attention for long enough, you will probably know the answer. The problem is that organic food is increasingly popular, but conventional food continues its decline.

Organic foods are more appealing because they are healthier. Organic foods are also safer for our overall health and reduce pollution.

There are two sides to the coin. Organic produce is more difficult to grow and takes more resources. Organic food is generally more expensive than nonorganic.

Organic meats are typically higher priced than conventionally raised animals. There are however ways to lower these costs without sacrificing the quality of organic meats.

Buy locally to save money. Locally grown fruits and veggies help to lower prices because farmers get incentives to grow good crops.

A great way to save money is to search for deals. When you purchase organics, there are often discounts.

A third way to save money on meat consumption is to eat less. Meat production can be costly due to the feed needed to raise livestock.

Organic food is healthier for the planet and our bodies than conventional food, but it's important to not overlook its cost.

How To

What You Should Know About Organic Foods

Organic foods are those that come from plants or animals, and do not contain any chemical pesticides, fertilizers, or additives. They are produced without genetic engineering or the application of ionizing radiation. Food must not contain artificial colours, flavour enhancers or preservatives. It cannot contain genetically modified organisms.

In 1845, Justus Von Liebig, an aspiring chemist and entrepreneur, created the term "organic" to describe the properties found in manure. Nowadays, most people associate the term organic with the production of food. Organic refers to products that only contain naturally occurring substances, such as carbohydrates, proteins, and minerals, which are all found in nature.

The global consumption of organic products has increased dramatically over the past decade. According to statistics, approximately 50% of the world’s population consumes at minimum one organic product each day. This percentage continues to rise and is projected to increase by 70%, 80%, or 90% by 2020.

There are many reasons that organic products are chosen by consumers. Some like the taste, others prefer them because they believe organic produce is healthier, while some think organic farming is more environmentally friendly. Non-organic products are often chosen because they do not pose ethical issues regarding the treatment of farm workers or animals.

Although organic foods tend to be more expensive than regular ones, prices can vary depending on where they are located. The price of organic food is affected by several factors. One is the availability and cost of land that can be used for organic agriculture. Another is the cost for inputs and labour required to grow organic crops. Transport costs, marketing costs and taxes are also important. The average price of organic food in Europe is 10% less than regular.
