Frequently Asked Questions

How can you tell if food is 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 applies to our food. When we buy organics, we know exactly where it came from and how it was grown. We also know that organics were not treated with harmful chemicals.

Organic food does not contain synthetic pesticides, fertilers, hormones or antibiotics. These substances are not permitted to organic farmers.

But that doesn't mean there isn't an art to growing organic crops. You have many options to safely grow them.

Sustainable agriculture is also known as organic farming. This is because organic farming uses less resources than conventional methods but provides enough nutrients for life to last.

Organic farming techniques include crop rotation and cover cropping. These techniques can prevent soil erosion, improve water quality, and help reduce the risk of it happening again.

They reduce the amount of chemical runoff that can enter waterways. Since most of us live in urban areas, we can find local farms that raise organic produce.

Two types of organic product certification programs exist. One is certified by the USDA National Organic Program, and the other is certified by independent certifying agencies. Both require strict conformity to organic standards.

USDA seals and O Seals are symbols that indicate organic certification.

What are organic products that can be used on the skin?

Organic skincare products don't contain any synthetic chemicals such as parabens or phthalates.

Organic skincare products are free from artificial colours, fragrances and preservatives.

They also have the ability to support healthy skin, prevent premature ageing, promote healing after injuries and overall well-being.

These are some of the terms that you will see when you shop for organic products

• Paraben Free: These are chemicals that keep certain cosmetic products stable. However, they can be toxic if used in large quantities.
• Fragrance-Free means that the product doesn't contain any essential oils or fragrances.
• Cruelty free - No animals were endangered during the manufacturing process.
• Natural Ingredients are ingredients that have been naturally extracted from plants or animals.
• Vegetarian/Vegetarian- The ingredients are either vegan/vegetarian.
• Gluten-Free is a label that indicates that no gluten was added to the product.
• Non-Toxic – The product is free of toxins, carcinogens and other dangerous compounds that can harm your health.
• Biodegradable: The product will be discarded as harmless components.
• Pesticide-Free - No pesticides have been used in the growing and harvesting process.
• GMO-Free refers to the fact that no ingredients in the product contain genetically modified organisms.
• Certified Organic means all ingredients were grown in ways that preserve the soil, water and air.

Is organic meat more nutritious?

This question is probably answered if you've been paying close attention. 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 foods are also safer for our overall health and reduce pollution.

However, there are also two sides to this coin. Organic produce takes longer and requires more resources. Organic food can be more expensive than its nonorganic counterpart.

Organic meats will typically be more expensive than those that are raised in conventional conditions. However, there are ways to reduce these costs without sacrificing quality.

Locally grown produce is a great way to save money. Buy locally grown vegetables and fruits to help keep prices low. Farmers receive incentives to grow healthier crops.

Another way to cut costs is to look for deals. Organics often come with discounts.

Another way to save money? Eat less meat. Because of the amount of feed required to raise livestock, meat production can become expensive.

There are many reasons why organic food is better for our bodies and the planet, but we should be careful not to overlook the cost.

What are the benefits of organic farming?

Organic farming gives farmers the opportunity to grow food without the use of chemical pesticides. Organic farming is a way for farmers to produce food without using harmful pesticides.

Organic farming can also use natural fertilizers. These fertilizers aid in the growth of healthy plants as well as reducing the amount chemical waste.

Organic farming is also beneficial for the environment. Many farmers use composting methods to replenish soil nutrients. This helps to reduce pollution and conserve 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 farming methods can also result in higher prices for farmers' produce. Consumers who are more aware about the dangers associated with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and other chemicals will choose healthier foods.

This raises the demand to produce organic food products. Organic farming is becoming more popular because of this.

What should I look out for when buying organic products?

USDA-certified organic label are desirable. This guarantees that the product meets certain USDA standards. You will find the USDA Organic seal on all boxes, cartons and cans.

When purchasing meat, ensure it is 100% organic. Cattle are ruminants, which means they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle are divided into four stomach compartments, the rumen and reticulum as well as the omasum and abmasum. If the cow is to be labeled "100% organic", all of its parts must have been organically fed.

When buying chicken, make sure it comes only from chickens fed 100% organic feed and never given antibiotics. Omnivore chickens eat both animals and plants. Omnivorous chickens have a digestive system that includes a crop (proventriculus), gizzard and small intestine.

It is important to ensure that dairy products are from cows that were fed 100% organic feed. Like ruminants, dairy cattle have four stomachs. The fourth stomach compartment, the udder, is where milk comes from.

When purchasing other types of livestock, check the label to see what percentage of the diet the animals were fed. For example, pork may be marked "95% organic" to indicate that 95 percent of the pork's feed is organic.

What are the health benefits of organic foods?

Although organic foods are not for everyone, they can be very healthy. For those who consume them regularly, however, they can offer certain health benefits.

Organic food is free from artificial fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides as well as hormones, antibiotics and genetic engineering. Organic produce is free from harmful chemicals that could cause harm to human health.

Organic products also have fewer additives. Organic products are more nutritious than those made from non-organic ingredients.

Studies have shown that organic foods are more nutritious and rich in antioxidants than fruits and veggies grown from conventional sources.

While organic farming is generally more expensive than conventional farming, they often produce better results. Organic farming promotes soil fertility as well as biodiversity.

This helps conserve water resources and protects against erosion. Organic farms do not require toxic chemicals to operate. They also use less energy and fuel.

Some people fear that organic foods can be more costly than conventional foods. Prices can vary depending on where you live. For example, organic apples are generally more expensive 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.

So, should you buy organic?

It depends on you. If you don't like the taste of organic food, then you probably shouldn't bother.

You can still buy organic food if your preference is for good tasting food. And since most commercial growers use chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs), organic foods are safer for consumers.

Organic agriculture is a way to preserve the environment, conserve natural resources, and encourage biodiversity.

Statistics

• As for organic meat, regulations require that animals be raised in living conditions that accommodate their natural behaviours (like the ability to graze on pasture), fed 100% organic feed and forage, and not administered antibiotics or hormones. (usda.gov)
• When packaged products indicate they are “made with organic [specific ingredient or food group],” they contain at least 70% organically produced ingredients. (usda.gov)
• Once certified by the USDA, it can fall into one of four categories: "100 percent organic", "organic," "made with organic ingredients," or "made with less than 70 percent organic ingredients. (en.wikipedia.org)
• Popular clothing brands, like Patagonia, are labelled as organic by using 100 percent organic cotton for many of their styles. (en.wikipedia.org)

How To

Organic foods: Are they safer and more nutritious?

Organic foods are produced without the use of chemical pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. They are grown in natural conditions and without the use of any artificial inputs like fungicides or herbicides. Organic farming practices include crop rotation, cover crops, composting animal manure, recycling wastewater, and integrated pest management (IPM).

The USDA National Organic Program (NOP), established in 2002 to regulate production, handling and processing of organic products sold in the United States. The NOP regulations ensure that organic agricultural products are produced according to federal standards outlined in the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Furthermore, the NOP rules require organic products to be free of banned substances such as pesticides residues and growth hormones.

The United States offers two certification programs for producers that want their products to be certified organic: one for farmers, ranchers and the other for manufacturers. Both programs require annual audits of operations to verify compliance with rigorous standards. Many certifying agents offer this service, including CCOF Certified Organic Farmers & Ranchers (QA International), American Grassfed Association, and Quality Assurance International. Each of these organizations provides third-party verification to verify that farms are following strict guidelines in regards to environmental stewardship, labour practices and care for livestock.

According to the USDA's Economic Research Service, organic agriculture accounted for $4.7 billion in sales in 2013. Retail spending on certified organic products reached nearly $1.5 Billion in 2013. This is a 23 per cent increase from 2009. During this time, grocery store sales increased by 12 percent. Spending directly on organic produce grew by 29 percent while that on meat, poultry, eggs and seafood only grew by 1 percent.

Organic food is more expensive but the quality of organic food is worth it. Consumer Reports conducted a 2015 survey and found that 88% would pay more if organic food had better nutritional value. Health Affairs also reported that organic food intake is associated with fewer health problems, such as obesity, diabetes and heart disease.

While there is no evidence that organic food can prevent or treat any diseases, there are some studies suggesting that eating them may improve your overall health by reducing your exposure to pesticides and other contaminants. In 2010, a review that included 31 studies concluded that organically-raised beef had lower levels of parasites and toxic chemicals than conventionally reared beef. A separate analysis of 11 publications from 2012 produced similar results.

A 2014 report from the Environmental Working Group looked at data from the Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Resource Center and found that the incidence of foodborne illness caused by E. coli, salmonella, listeria monocytogenes, campylobacter, and verotoxin-producing E. coli O157:H7 decreased when comparing organic to non-organic chicken, pork, beef, lamb, milk, and cheese. The group also noted that the incidence of human illnesses due to E. coli O157 declined among children and adults after 2006, when the USDA started requiring more stringent organic standards for animals raised for consumption.
