Frequently Asked Questions
Does organic mean it is pesticide-free?
Organic food is naturally chemical-free and grows without pesticides. This means that organic food is often free of pesticides and fertilizers.
Organic produce contains more nutrients and is healthier than conventionally manufactured foods, as it does not contain any harmful additives.
The USDA National Organic Program, (NOP), requires farmers to adhere to strict guidelines when cultivating organic crops.
These guidelines include soil preparation and crop rotation, pest management, water conservation, as well as harvesting practices.
Organic farming methods are also beneficial for wildlife and natural habitats.
Why should I buy organic?
Conventional agriculture has been linked with many health problems including asthma, allergies. Healthy choices must be made when purchasing food.
Here are some tips from the Environmental Working Group (EWG).
When possible, buy organic fruits and veggies
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."
Check ingredient lists carefully. If an ingredient isn’t listed, it might be added during processing.
Frozen and canned meats should be preferred to fresh. Frozen and canned foods often contain less nutrient-rich ingredients like high fructose corn syrup.
How do you determine if food has been grown organically?
Fresh ingredients are essential for any chef. Because we feel better when we eat well.
The same applies to our food. Organics are traceable back to the source and provenance of their products. We also know that it wasn't treated with harmful chemicals.
Organic food is produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. These substances are not allowed for organic farmers.
Growing organic crops is an art. There are plenty of ways to grow them safely.
Organic farming is often called sustainable agriculture. It is a less resource-intensive alternative to conventional farming, but still provides enough nutrients to sustain life.
Organic farming practices include crop rotations and cover crops, manure composting, intercropping, and cover cropping. These techniques prevent soil erosion while improving water quality.
They also reduce chemical pollution of waterways. Local farms can be found in cities that raise organic produce.
There are two types for organic products certification. One is certified by the USDA National Organic Program, and the other is certified by independent certifying agencies. Both require strict adherence to organic standards.
USDA seals or O Seals can be applied to organic products. This symbol indicates that the product meets federal requirements.
What is the difference in organic and non-organic foods?
Organic food does not contain pesticides, chemical fertilisers, sewage waste, irradiation, genetic modification. Organic farming practices support soil health, water quality, and animal welfare.
Inorganic foods may be grown with chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or sewage sludge. Irradiated foods are treated with radiation; genetically modified organisms (GMO) are created through biological engineering techniques.
"Natural" is sometimes used interchangeably in the context of "organic." Natural does not always mean organic. You may also find products that are labeled as "natural", which could contain synthetic ingredients.
Because organic produce contains fewer harmful chemicals, pesticides, and fertilizers than conventional produce it is more nutritious. Organic farmers are free from artificial fertilizers and pesticides.
What should I look out for when buying organic products?
USDA-certified organic label are desirable. This certification means that the product is certified organic by USDA. You will find the USDA Organic seal on all boxes, cartons and cans.
When you shop for meat, ensure that it comes from cows who are fed organic feed. Cattle are ruminants which means that they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle have four stomach compartments: rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. Organic feeding must be done on all organs of the animal in order to get the cow labelled organic 100 percent.
Make sure you only buy chicken from chicken farms that are fed organically and have never been given antibiotics. Chickens are omnivores. This means they can eat both plant and animal food. Omnivorous chickens have a digestive tract composed of a crop, proventriculus, gizzard, small intestine, large intestine, and anus.
It is important to ensure that dairy products are from cows that were fed 100% organic feed. Just like ruminants have four stomachs, dairy cows have four. The fourth stomach compartment--the cow's udder--is where milk is produced.
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. One example is pork that may be labeled '95% Organic'. This means that 95 percent came from organic sources.
Statistics
- Brands participating in this challenge are committed to using 100 percent sustainable cotton by 2025.[5] (en.wikipedia.org)
- Nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids were up to 50 percent higher in organic meats and milk than in conventionally raised products.[3] (en.wikipedia.org)
- Popular clothing brands, like Patagonia, are labelled as organic by using 100 percent organic cotton for many of their styles. (en.wikipedia.org)
- 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)

What you should know about organic food
Organic foods are made from animals and plants without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. They are made without genetic engineering and the application of ionizing radiance. Food must not contain artificial colours, flavour enhancers or preservatives. It must not contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
When Justus von Liebig, a chemical chemist, coined "organic", which means "life-giving," to describe the properties in manure, the term "organic" was used for the first time. Most people associate organic with food production. Organic means the product has only natural substances like proteins, carbohydrates, and fats that are found in nature.
Over the past decade, organic products have seen a dramatic increase in consumption. 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 consumers choose organic products. 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 food tends to be more expensive that conventional foods, but prices can vary depending upon the country or region. Organic food prices are affected by many factors. One factor is whether there are enough land available for organic farming. Another factor is the price of inputs as well as labour for organic farming. There are other factors such as transportation costs, marketing and taxes. The average price of organic food in Europe is 10% less than regular.
