Frequently Asked Questions
Is organic food healthier?
There are two types of foods; those we grow ourselves and those we buy from someone else. There are exceptions, but the majority of the time, both options will be available. Organic food is healthier than conventional food because it doesn’t contain harmful chemicals, pesticides or herbicides. It also doesn’t contain preservatives or genetically modified organisms.
Organic food can be found in supermarkets throughout North America, Europe and Asia. Organic food can now be found in many grocery stores making it easier for shoppers to choose organic products.
Organic food tastes better and is more nutritious, as it has higher levels of vitamins and minerals. In addition, organics are usually grown without applying synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, which means they do not pollute our soil and water supply.
The USDA regulates organic farming practices. It requires that farmers follow strict guidelines in order to ensure organic produce is safe for consumption. There are over 30 million acres of US organic farmland.
Organic food is often more affordable than conventional food. Organic food is often cheaper than conventional food because it contains the same amount calories, protein, as well as nutrients. Organic farms are able to charge lower prices for their crops because they don't have to purchase expensive chemical inputs like insecticides and fungicides.

What is organic?
Organic meat means real food, grown without artificial fertilizers or pesticides. Organic meat is also a guarantee that the animals weren’t fed any genetically altered feed. It is safe to eat because it doesn't contain any harmful chemicals.
Organic meats are also better for our environment. The pollution levels in our environment are reduced when we eat organic foods. We can also help wildlife by eating organic foods. Organic farmers do not often use toxic chemicals that can kill birds or insects.
Locally purchasing organic meats is the best way to make sure you are eating healthy and organic meats. Local purchasing helps keep money local, not out of the state. Local businesses often pass down savings to customers when they shop locally. Shopping locally helps to keep American workers employed, as opposed to sending them overseas.
What are organic beauty products?
Organic Beauty Products don't contain synthetic chemicals such as parabens. These ingredients are present in all conventional beauty products including shampoos and cosmetics.
Organic beauty products are also free from animal testing and do not contain any genetically modified organisms (GMO).
The USDA defines organic production as "a system of production which fosters the cycle of resources" and it has been used since decades to refer to foods grown without pesticides.
Due to the adverse effects of chemicals on our bodies, there has been a growing demand for eco-friendly cosmetics in recent years.
These include skin irritation, hormone imbalance, premature ageing, and cancer.
Organic beauty companies believe in creating safe and healthy products while protecting the planet.
What's the difference?
Organic food is produced without pesticides, chemical fertilizers, sewage sludge, irradiation, or genetic modification. Organic farming practices support soil health, water quality, and animal welfare.
Inorganic foods can be grown using pesticides, chemical fertilizers and sewage sludge. Radiation is used to treat irradiated food; biological engineering techniques are used to create genetically modified organisms (GMO).
"Organic" and "natural" are often interchangeable. Natural does not always mean organic. There are also products labelled "natural" which may contain synthetic ingredients.
Organic produce is often more nutritious than conventional produce, as the soil has fewer pesticides and harmful chemicals. Organic farmers don't use any artificial fertilizers, hormones or antibiotics.
What are the health benefits of organic foods?
Some organic foods may not prove to be good for you. However, regular consumption of organic foods can have health benefits.
Organic food is produced without artificial fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, hormones, antibiotics, or genetic engineering. Organic produce is not grown with harmful chemicals that could pose a risk to human health.
Organic products also have fewer additives. Organic products are more nutritious than those made from non-organic ingredients.
Research shows that organic produce contains more nutrients and antioxidants compared to conventionally grown fruit and vegetables.
Although organic farming methods tend to cost more than conventional farming methods, they often yield better results. Organic farming encourages soil fertility and biodiversity.
This helps conserve water resources and protects against erosion. Organic farms don't use toxic chemicals and require less fuel and energy.
Some people worry that organic foods are more expensive than conventional ones. However, prices vary depending on where you live. For example, organic apples tend to be more expensive than traditional apples.
However, organic fruit is more affordable if you compare the price of a basket of both types.
Do you want to go organic?
It all depends on your personality. Organic food is not for you if you don’t like it.
Organic food can be purchased if you like 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 preserves our environment by conserving natural resource and encouraging biodiversity.

What happens to your Body When You Switch To Organic Products?
Organic products do not contain synthetic fertilizers or hormones. They come from clean water sources and free-range animals. The term "organic", which means they don't contain additives or chemicals, refers to their non-containing any. This product is natural and does not contain any harmful substances.
The term "natural", refers only to how food was grown. It's used to describe foods that have not been altered into their final form (e.g. fruits). Natural foods are often fresher because they're not subject to heat radiation, chemical preservatives or any other treatment. Some people think natural does not necessarily mean healthy. Experts agree that organic and conventional foods are very similar. Both types are tested for safety as well as quality. Organic produce is less likely to contain pesticide residues and pollutants than conventionally grown produce.
Most grocery stores now sell organic products. You can find organic meat, poultry, eggs, and seafood at your local market. Some companies only sell organic products, while others offer separate sections. USDA Certified Organic, Non GMO Project Verified. Biodynamic Association Certified. Rainforest Alliance Certified.
You should avoid eating these items if you are pregnant or nursing. Unborn babies and infants can be exposed to pesticides.
