Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Organic Food Producer?
Organic food producers use organic methods to grow their products. These foods include fruits and vegetables, grains, as well as dairy products.
Organic food production is only possible on farms where the crops are grown naturally. This includes soil preparation and pest control as well as crop rotation.
To be organic, an agricultural product must meet the strict criteria of USDA (United States Department of Agriculture).
These guidelines ensure that consumers can access safe, wholesome, nutritious food.
Organic food offers many health benefits. From lower levels of pesticide residues, heavy metal contamination, to higher nutrient contents and better flavour, organic foods are healthier.
Products certified organic by the USDA must bear the label "USDA Certified Organic" seal.
This certification means the product has met the standards of the National Organic Program.
Organic food can help us eat better and protect our environment.
Organic farming techniques preserve water and land. Organic farming also helps to reduce greenhouse gases emissions, which are responsible for climate change.
Organic agriculture uses less chemicals and reduces the amount of pollution runoff.
It improves air quality as harmful gases such nitrates or ammonia are less likely to accumulate in the atmosphere.
There are many types to organic farming.
Conventional agriculture refers to the use synthetic inputs, such as pesticides/fertilizers.
Regenerative farming involves compost, cover crops, and green manures to improve soil health. It promotes biodiversity.
Agroecology promotes healthy relationships between humans and plants.
Permaculture is a system that mimics nature and promotes self-sufficiency.
What are the benefits of organic farming?
Organic farming is a way for farmers to grow food naturally without the use chemicals. Farmers don't have worry about whether harmful pesticides are affecting their crops or animals.
Organic farming allows for natural fertilizers to be used. These fertilizers help to grow healthy plants and help to reduce the amount of chemical waste produced.
Organic farming can also be environmentally friendly. To recycle nutrients back into soil, farmers often resort to composting. This reduces pollution and preserves valuable resources.
Organic farming is good for the environment and increases crop yields. This is because organic farming requires less water to grow the crops.
Organic production also means that farmers get higher prices for their products. Consumers who become more aware of the dangers of pesticides and chemical fertilizers demand healthier foods.
This drives up the demand for organic products. Organic farming is becoming more popular because of this.
What are some things I should look out for when purchasing organic goods?
USDA-certified organic labels are recommended. This certifies that the product has met certain standards set by USDA. You will find the USDA Organic seal on all boxes, cartons and cans.
When buying meat, make sure it is from organically fed cows. Cattle are ruminants, which means they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle can be found with four stomach compartments: the rumen, the reticulum, omasum, abomasum and omasum. All parts of an animal must be organically fed if the cow is going to be labelled '100% organic.'
Buy chicken from only organic chickens that have been fed 100% organic food and are not given antibiotics. Omnivore chickens eat both animals and plants. Omnivorous chickens have a digestive system that includes a crop (proventriculus), gizzard and small intestine.
Buy dairy products that are 100% organically produced. Like ruminants and dairy cows, they have four stomach compartments. The fourth stomach compartment is the udder.
You should always check the label before purchasing any other livestock. This will let you know what percentage of the diet was given to the animals. One example is pork that may be labeled '95% Organic'. This means that 95 percent came from organic sources.
Statistics
- Popular clothing brands, like Patagonia, are labelled as organic by using 100 percent organic cotton for many of their styles. (en.wikipedia.org)
- Cosmetic brands such as Laurel and Rose Mira are 100 percent organic and have a wide array of skincare products. (en.wikipedia.org)
- 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)
- According to a study performed by consumerreports.org, organic products, compared to non-organic products, ranged anywhere from 13 percent cheaper to 303 percent more expensive. (en.wikipedia.org)

How To
What happens to your body when you switch to organic products?
Organic products can be grown without synthetic fertilizers, hormones or antibiotics. They come only from natural sources of water and free-range animals. The term "organic", which means they don't contain additives or chemicals, refers to their non-containing any. This product was produced by nature and therefore contains no harmful substances.
Natural means how food is grown. It's usually used to describe foods not processed into their final form (such as fruits). Natural foods are usually fresher than processed foods, as they haven’t been exposed to heat, radiation, chemical preservatives, or other treatments. But, not everyone believes that natural foods are healthy. Experts agree that organic and conventional foods are very similar. Both types can be tested for safety and quality. Organic produce has less pesticide residues and pollutant than conventionally grown food.
Most grocery stores offer organic options. Check with your local market if you want organic meat, poultry, dairy, eggs, and seafood. Some companies only sell organic products. Others have separate sections. You should look for USDA Certified Organic, Non GMO Project Verified (Biodynamic Association Certified), Rainforest Alliance Certified, and other certifications.
These products should not be consumed if you are pregnant. Pesticides are known to affect unborn babies and infants.
