How To
What you need to know about organic foods
Organic foods are made from animals and plants without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. They are produced without genetic engineering or the application of ionizing radiation. Food must not contain artificial colours, flavour enhancers or preservatives. It cannot contain genetically modified organisms.
In 1845, Justus von Liebig, a chemist, first coined the term "organic", meaning "life-giving", to describe the properties and characteristics of manure. Most people associate organic with food production. Organic refers to products that only contain naturally occurring substances, such as carbohydrates, proteins, and minerals, which are all found in nature.
The consumption of organic foods has risen dramatically in the past decades. According to statistics, approximately 50% of the world’s population consumes at minimum one organic product each day. This figure is on the rise and it is predicted to grow to 70%, 88%, and 90% in 2020.
Organic products are preferred for many reasons. Some prefer the flavor, while others prefer them because they are healthier. Others also believe organic farming makes it more sustainable. Non-organic products are often chosen because they do not pose ethical issues regarding the treatment of farm workers or animals.
While organic food is generally more expensive than traditional foods, prices do vary depending upon where you live. There are many factors that influence the cost of organic foods. One factor is whether there are enough land available for organic farming. 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.
