How To
What you should know about organic food
Organic foods are made from animals and plants without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. They can't be genetically modified or exposed to ionizing radiation. The food must not contain artificial flavours, colours, flavour enhancements, or preservatives. It must not contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
The term "organic" was first used in 1845 when chemist Justus von Liebig coined the word "organisch" meaning life-giving, to describe the properties of manure. Today, organic is synonymous with food production. Organic means the product has only natural substances like proteins, carbohydrates, and fats that are found in nature.
In the past decades, the consumption of organic products has grown dramatically worldwide. Recent statistics show that around half of the world's population consumes at most one organic product per day. This percentage is increasing and will reach 70%, 80% and 90% by 2020.
There are many reasons that organic products are chosen by consumers. Some consumers prefer organic products for the taste. Other people prefer them because organic produce is more nutritious. Still others believe organic farming is better for the environment. There are ethical concerns regarding farm workers and animals. This is why some people choose organic products.
Organic foods are more expensive than those made from conventional food, though prices may vary by country and region. There are many factors that influence the cost of organic foods. The availability of suitable land for organic agriculture is one factor. Another is the cost for inputs and labour required to grow organic crops. Other factors include transportation costs, marketing costs, and taxes. For example, in Europe, the average price of organic food is 10% higher than the regular price.
