Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits to organic farming?
Organic farming gives farmers the opportunity to grow food without the use of chemical pesticides. Farmers don't need to worry that harmful pesticides could harm their crops or animals.
Organic farming also permits for the use of natural fertilizers. These fertilizers help to grow healthy plants and help to reduce the amount of chemical waste produced.
Organic farming is also eco-friendly. To recycle nutrients back into soil, farmers often resort to composting. This reduces pollution and conserves valuable resources.
Organic farming is good for the environment and increases crop yields. This is because organic agriculture uses less water in the growing season.
Organic production methods result in farmers receiving higher prices. Consumers who become more aware of the dangers of pesticides and chemical fertilizers demand healthier foods.
This drives up the demand for organic products. Organic farming is growing in popularity.
Why should organic be my first choice?
Conventional agriculture has been linked with many health problems including asthma, allergies. Healthy choices must be made when purchasing food.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG), offers these tips to help you choose "cleaner" foods:
Always buy organic fruits & vegetables.
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."
Be sure to read all ingredient labels. If an ingredient doesn't appear on the list, it could be added to the product during processing.
Choose fresh meats over frozen or canned ones. Many frozen and canned foods contain less nutrients, like high fructose Corn Syrup.
What are some of the most popular organic products in your country?
Today organic food is the fastest-growing sector. Even though we have come a long ways from our roots there is still plenty of room for growth.
Organic products are the future. Organic products are safer, more sustainable, and cheaper for consumers.
They are also generally more expensive. That's why we created the Organic Food Index. We wanted to see which foods are most in demand today and how these trends are changing.
The results show that organic food is becoming increasingly popular. Between 2011 and 2012, the number of Americans who shop for organic food increased by almost 50%.
According to USDA, organic production grew by 10% last year. The U.S. now produces 9% of its agricultural output from organic food.
While organic food is certainly gaining ground, it seems that it is still an expensive choice for consumers. The average retail price for organic food is almost twice that of conventional foods, according to the Organic Trade Association (OTA).
The organic food sector is growing faster than other segments of the food supply. If you examine the data closely, you will see that organic foods have grown steadily in consumption since 2009.
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.
However, the younger generation is leading the charge in choosing organic food. Millennials are twice as likely than baby boomers to buy organic foods. Young adults aged below 35 account for 25%.
What are organic fruits?
Organic food is free from pesticides, synthetic fertilizers and hormones. Organic foods also have more nutrients such as vitamins C, E and K plus omega-3 fatty acid. Organic food is healthier for the environment and our bodies.
Organic foods are grown using sustainable farming practices that preserve soil quality and encourage biological diversity. They are free of harmful chemicals and sewage sludge.
Many organic products are not associated with produce. They include dairy and meat, poultry, eggs baked goods, pet food, household cleaning supplies, and personal care products.
The USDA defines organic as crops grown in accordance with strict federal regulations. These foods cannot be grown by farmers using conventional methods. However, they may use approved natural pest control methods, such as crop rotation and cover cropping, and animal feed made from organic materials.
Further, the farmer must be careful about the amount of pesticide and fertilizer he uses in the growing season. GMOs, artificial growthhormones, synthetic insecticides, and synthetic fertilizers cannot be used by farmers.
All the above requirements are met by vegetables and fruits that are labeled "100% Organic". But some farms do not label their products as 100% organic because it would confuse consumers. Instead, they will label the product as "made from organic ingredients". "
How do I find out if my produce's organic?
If you want to make sure that you are buying organic produce, look for these three labels:
USDA Organic Certified - Produce certified by the USDA as being 100% organic.
Certified Naturally Grown - Produce that has passed strict requirements for organic practices but has not yet received certification from the USDA.
Pastured/Free Range – Produced from animals that live outdoors and graze on grasses or herbs.
These labels indicate whether the product meets certain criteria.
- There are no synthetic pesticides or fertilizers
- No genetically modified organisms
- No antibiotics are ever given to the animal
- Animals are not ever given hormones.
- No growth-promoting drug
- No feed additives
- No artificial ingredients
- No irradiation
- No sewage effluent
- GMOs prohibited
- Never was an antibiotic given
- No hormones ever given
- There are no growth-promoting drugs
- No feed-additives
- No artificial ingredients
- No sewage sludge, if it's not a GMO
- No irradiation

What are my top priorities when buying organic products
USDA-certified organic labels are recommended. This guarantee that the product has met specific standards set forth by USDA. Look out for the USDA Organic seal on boxes, cartons cans and jars.
When buying meat, make sure it is from organically fed cows. Cattle are ruminants. They eat the whole animal. Ruminant cattle have four stomach areas: rumen (reticulum), omasum (omasum), and abomasum. If a cow is to be labeled organically, all parts must be organically fed.
Chicken should be only purchased from chickens raised on organic feed, and not given antibiotics. Chickens are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and animals. A digestive tract that is omnivorous includes a crop, proventriculus and gizzard. It also contains small intestines, large intestines, and anus.
It is important to ensure that dairy products are from cows that were fed 100% organic feed. Like ruminants, dairy cattle have four stomachs. Milk comes from the fourth stomach compartment--the udder.
Check the label when purchasing livestock of any other type to find out what percentage was used in the animal's diet. For example, pork may be marked "95% organic" to indicate that 95 percent of the pork's feed is organic.
How can you tell organic food from non-organic?
If you ask any chef, he'll tell you there's nothing more important than fresh ingredients. We feel better when our food is good.
The same goes for our food. We can identify exactly where and how organic foods were grown when we purchase them. We also know that organics were not treated with harmful chemicals.
Organic food does not contain synthetic pesticides, fertilers, hormones or antibiotics. Organic farmers aren't allowed to use these substances.
Organic farming doesn't have to be difficult. There are many safe ways to grow them.
Sustainable agriculture is sometimes called organic farming. It is a less resource-intensive alternative to conventional farming, but still provides enough nutrients to sustain life.
Organic farming methods include crop rotations, composting manure and cover cropping. These techniques reduce soil erosion and increase water quality.
They also reduce chemical contamination of waterways. Local farms can be found in cities that raise organic produce.
Two types of organic product certification programs exist. One is certified under the USDA National Organic Program. The other is certified independently by certifying authorities. Both require strict organic standards to be adhered to.
USDA seals and O Seals may be used to identify organic products that meet federal standards.

How To
How to save money on organic meat
Here are some tips and tricks that will help you save money on organic meat.
You will learn where to buy cheap organic meats, and what they cost per pound. You will be able to make the most of what you have purchased.
For healthy eating, you don’t have to spend a lot. Sometimes creativity is required to make money while still eating healthy. Here are my top tips for keeping food costs down and still enjoying the many benefits of organic meat.
- Wholesale clubs - Sams Club and Costco are great places for bulk food like chicken breasts or pork chops. If you're lucky enough to live near one of these stores, you can often get deals on large quantities of meat (up to 50 pounds). This way, you won't waste any meat. And if you buy it in bulk, you can freeze it, so it lasts longer.
- Online shopping is a great way to find meat at a discounted price. For example, Amazon has a weekly deal called Prime Pantry, which includes free shipping on orders over $35. There are also discounts on lamb steaks (lamb steaks), ground beef, pork loins, and beef roasts. It's easy to browse their website and see what's available at different times.
- Locate a farmer in your area. Local farmers are usually cheaper than big box retailers as they don’t pay high stocking fees. They know exactly what the animals ate and drank to ensure they are fully informed about what is in their bodies.
- Choose lean cuts of meat - It is usually cheaper to cook lean meat than fatty. You should always look for the best cuts. The most common ones are sirloin steak, tenderloin roast, top round steak, and flank steak. These cuts are very low in fat and high in protein.
- Try new recipes. One of the easiest ways to reduce your grocery bill is to start cooking meals with ingredients you haven't used before. It's possible to create delicious meals with fresh tomatoes, onions and garlic using olive oil, spices, and garlic.
- Use leftovers to create new recipes. You can make quick meals or lunches from leftover meat.
So, there you are! Here are some tips on how you can afford organic meat despite being on a strict budget. Do you have other tips? Have any other tips for me about where to buy cheap meat?
