Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most loved organic products?
Today, organic foods are the fastest-growing industries. Even though we have come a long ways from our roots there is still plenty of room for growth.
Organic products are the future. Organic products are safer, more sustainable, and cheaper for consumers.
They also tend to have higher prices. That's why we created the Organic Food Index. We wanted to determine which foods are the most popular among shoppers today and whether these trends are changing.
These findings show that organic foods are becoming more popular. Between 2011 and 2012 the number of Americans buying organic food increased nearly 50%.
According to USDA, organic food production increased by 10% only last year. Organic food now makes up 9% U.S. agriculture output.
While organic food is certainly gaining ground, it seems that it is still an expensive choice for consumers. According to the Organic Trade Association (OTA), average retail prices for organic food are almost double those of conventional alternatives.
However, organic food is growing more quickly than any other part of the food market. You can see that organic food has been steadily increasing since 2009.
According to OTA's data, organic products sold in supermarkets grew at 14% between 2010 - 2011.
This is because consumers are looking for healthier foods. Organic food sales have been increasing in all age groups.
Younger generations are also leading the way in organic food choices. Millennials have twice the likelihood of buying organic food as baby boomers. And young adults under 35 years old account for 25% of all organic food purchases.
What is inorganic?
Organic food is not produced with pesticides or artificial fertilizers. Inorganic foods contain these chemicals, which may cause health problems.
Organic food is produced naturally and without any harmful substances, such as chemical fertilizers or pesticides. These chemicals can be dangerous for both humans and animals.
Inorganic food can include meat, fish eggs, buttermilk cheese, buttermilk, yogurt, honey grains, vegetables, fruits spices, and herbs.
Organic refers specifically to the method an agricultural product has been grown. For example, organic farming uses natural methods and soil amendments to grow crops, while conventional farming uses synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), must ensure that organic food meets strict standards. According to the National Organic Program Standards, all certified organic food must be free from prohibited materials such as antibiotics, growth hormones, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and industrial solvents. Organic food must also be free from toxic chemicals, petroleum based fertilizers, sewage effluents and ionizing radiation.
What are organic food products?
Organic produce is grown without pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, irradiation, genetic engineering, or confinement feeding. No growth hormones or animal testing are done. These crops are allowed natural growth, so farmers don't use chemicals to kill pests and weeds.
Organic farming methods also help to preserve soil quality, reduce erosion, and conserve water resources. In addition, organics are better for our health because they contain more nutrients than conventional food. Organic products have a higher fiber content and are lower in calories and fat than conventionally manufactured ones.
What are the benefits to organic farming?
Organic farming is a way for farmers to grow food naturally without the use chemicals. Organic farming is a way for farmers to produce food without using harmful pesticides.
Organic farming also offers more natural fertilizers. These fertilizers are good for plants that are healthy and reduce chemical waste.
Organic farming is also sustainable. To recycle nutrients back into soil, farmers often resort to composting. This helps to reduce pollution and conserve valuable resources.
Organic farming can increase crop yields and help the environment. This is because organic agriculture uses less water in the growing season.
Organic production methods also mean that farmers receive higher prices for their produce. Consumers who are more aware about the dangers associated with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and other chemicals will choose healthier foods.
This has increased the demand for organic foods. Organic farming has become increasingly popular.
What should I be looking out for when shopping organic products
USDA-certified organic labels are recommended. This seal signifies that the product meets specific USDA standards. Look for the "USDA Organic" seal on packages, boxes, cartons, cans, and jars.
When shopping for meat, ensure it comes from cows fed 100% organic feed. Cattle are ruminants which means that they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle have 4 stomach compartments: Rumen, reticulum and omasum. Organic feeding must be done on all organs of the animal in order to get the cow labelled organic 100 percent.
Make sure you only buy chicken from chicken farms that are fed organically and have never been given antibiotics. Chickens are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and animals. Omnivorous chickens possess a digestive tract made up of a crop.
It is important to ensure that dairy products are from cows that were fed 100% organic feed. Dairy cows have four stomach compartments, just like ruminants. The fourth stomach, or the udder is where you get milk.
When purchasing other types of livestock, check the label to see what percentage of the diet the animals were fed. A label for pork might say "95% organic", which means that 95% of the feed used by the pork came from organic sources.

While organic food is generally more expensive than traditional foods, prices do vary depending upon where you live. The price of organic food is affected by several factors. One factor is the availability of land suitable for organic agriculture. Another factor is the price of inputs as well as labour for organic farming. Transport costs, marketing costs and taxes are also important. In Europe, for example, organic food prices are 10% more than regular food.
