Frequently Asked Questions
Are organic foods good for your health?
Organic foods may not be healthy for everyone. They can be beneficial for your health if you eat them often.
Organic food does not contain artificial fertilizers or pesticides. It also doesn't contain fungicides. This means that organic produce is grown without harmful chemicals that could harm human health.
Organic products also have fewer additives. Organic products are healthier than those that use additives during processing.
Studies have shown that organic foods are more nutritious and rich in antioxidants than fruits and veggies grown from conventional sources.
Even though organic farming methods can be more costly than conventional farming methods they are often more productive. Organic farming promotes soil fertility as well as biodiversity.
This helps protect against erosion and conserve water resources. Organic farms do not require toxic chemicals to operate. They also use less energy and fuel.
Some people worry that organic foods are more expensive than conventional ones. However, prices vary depending on where you live. For example, organic apples can be more costly than conventional apples.
But if you look at the total price of a basket of both types of fruit, you'll see that buying organic is cheaper.
Do you really need to buy organic?
It all depends on who you are. It doesn't matter if organic food isn't for you.
Organic food is available if you are a fan of good food. Organic food is safer because organic produce is not grown by commercial growers who use pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
Organic agriculture protects our environment by conserving natural resources and promoting biodiversity.
What are the most loved organic products?
Organic food is the fastest-growing industry today. However, we still have a lot to learn from our roots.
Organic products are the future. They are safer and more cost-effective for consumers.
However, they are also more expensive. 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 of the study show that organic food has become more popular. Between 2011 & 2012, almost half of Americans purchased organic food.
The USDA reports that organic production increased 10% last year. The U.S. now produces 9% of its agricultural output from organic food.
Organic food is certainly on the rise but consumers are still not able to afford it. 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 is due to consumers' demand for healthier foods. It is why organic food sales are growing across all ages.
However, the younger generation is leading the charge in choosing organic food. Millennials are twice likely to choose organic food than the baby boomers. Young adults below 35 years of age account for 25%.
Organic meat is better
If you've been paying attention for any time, you probably already know the answer to this question. But here's the rub, organic food is becoming more popular while conventional food continues to fall out of favour.
The reason why organic foods continue to rise in popularity is that they are healthier for us. Organic products are healthier for us and the environment.
But there are two sides to this coin. Organic produce takes longer to grow and requires more resources to do so. This means that organic food costs more money than its non-organic counterpart.
Organic meats are generally more expensive than conventionally raised animals. There are however ways to lower these costs without sacrificing the quality of organic meats.
Locally grown produce is a great way to save money. Locally grown fruits and veggies help to lower prices because farmers get incentives to grow good crops.
You can also look for deals to reduce costs. Organics often come with discounts.
You can also save money by eating less meat. Because of the amount of feed required to raise livestock, meat production can become expensive.
Organic food is healthier for the planet and our bodies than conventional food, but it's important to not overlook its cost.

How To
What You Should Know About Organic Foods
Organic foods are made from animals and plants without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. They are not subject to genetic engineering or the use of ionizing radioactive radiation. The food must contain no artificial ingredients, colourings, flavour enhancers, or preservatives. It should not contain genetically modified animals (GMOs).
In 1845, Justus Von Liebig, an aspiring chemist and entrepreneur, created the term "organic" to describe the properties found in manure. Most people associate organic production with food. Organic is a product that contains only naturally occurring substances, such a proteins, fats, or minerals.
In the past decades, the consumption of organic products has grown dramatically worldwide. According to recent statistics, about 50% of the global population consumes at-least one organic product every day. This percentage is increasing and will reach 70%, 80% and 90% by 2020.
There are many factors that consumers choose organic produce. 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.
Organic foods are usually more expensive than conventional ones, although prices vary depending on countries and regions. 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. 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.
