What you should know about organic food

Organic foods are produced from plants and animals that have been grown without the use of pesticides, chemical fertilizers or other additives. They can be produced without the use of genetic engineering or ionizing radiation. The food must contain no artificial ingredients, colourings, 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. In this context, organic means that the product contains only naturally occurring substances such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and minerals that occur in nature.

Globally, organic product consumption has increased significantly over the last decade. According to recent statistics, around 50% of the world's population consumes at least one organic product daily. This percentage is increasing and will reach 70%, 80% and 90% by 2020.

There are many reasons why consumers choose organic products. Some prefer the flavor, while others prefer them because they are healthier. Others also believe organic farming makes it more sustainable. But, non-organic products can be a good choice because there are ethical concerns over the treatment and welfare of farm workers.

Although organic foods tend to be more expensive than regular ones, prices can vary depending on where they are located. There are different factors influencing the price of organic food. One factor is the availability land suitable for organic agricultural. 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.
