Frequently Asked Questions

What should I be looking out for when shopping organic products

USDA-certified organic labels are recommended. This seal signifies that the product meets specific USDA standards. Look out for the USDA Organic seal on boxes, cartons cans and jars.

When purchasing meat, ensure it is 100% organic. Cattle are ruminants which means that they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle can be found with four stomach compartments: the rumen, the reticulum, omasum, abomasum and omasum. To be labeled '100% organic, all animal parts must be organically nourished.

When buying chicken, make sure it comes only from chickens fed 100% organic feed and never given antibiotics. Chickens are omnivores. This means they can eat both plant and animal food. Omnivorous chickens possess a digestive tract made up of a crop.

Buy dairy products that are 100% organically produced. Like ruminants and dairy cows, they have four stomach compartments. The fourth stomach compartment--the cow's udder--is where milk is produced.

Check the label when purchasing livestock of any other type to find out what percentage was used in the animal's diet. One example is pork that may be labeled '95% Organic'. This means that 95 percent came from organic sources.

What are organic fruits?

Organic foods are grown without pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, hormones, or antibiotics. They also contain more nutrients, such as vitamins A, C, E, and K, plus omega-3 fatty acids. Organic food is healthier for the environment and our bodies.

Organic foods are made using sustainable agricultural practices, which protect soil quality and promote biodiversity. They are free of harmful chemicals and sewage sludge.

Organics are often associated with produce. However, organic products can include dairy, meat, poultry and eggs as well as personal care items and pet food.

The USDA defines organic as crops grown in accordance with strict federal regulations. Non-organic methods cannot be used by farmers to grow these foods. However, they may use approved natural pest control methods, such as crop rotation and cover cropping, and animal feed made from organic materials.

A farmer must also adhere to guidelines about how much fertilizer or pesticide he applies during the growing season. Also, he must rotate his fields between different crops. GMOs (genetically modified organisms), synthetic growth hormones and insecticides as well as synthetic fertilizers are prohibited by farmers.

Produces labelled as 100% organic meet all requirements. But not all farms will label their products 100% organic. That would confuse consumers. Instead, they will say that their product is "made with organic components". "

What are organic food products?

Organic produce is free from synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, sewage sludge and confinement feeding. There are no growth hormones used and animal testing is not performed. These crops can naturally grow, so no chemicals are used by farmers to combat pests or weeds.

Organic farming practices can also preserve soil quality by reducing erosion, and conserving water resources. In addition, organics are better for our health because they contain more nutrients than conventional food. Organic products have a higher fiber content and are lower in calories and fat than conventionally manufactured ones.

What are some of the benefits of organic agriculture?

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 allows for natural fertilizers to be used. These fertilizers aid in the growth of healthy plants as well as reducing the amount chemical waste.

Organic farming is also sustainable. Organic farming is also environmentally friendly. Farmers often use composting to recycle nutrients back into their soil. This reduces pollution and preserves valuable resources.

Organic farming also helps the environment by increasing crop yields. This is because there is much less water used during the growing season.

Organic production also means that farmers get higher prices for their products. Consumers who are more informed about the dangers of pesticides or chemical fertilizers will demand healthier food.

This drives up the demand for organic products. Organic farming has become increasingly popular.
