Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between organic and inorganic foods?
Organic food is free from pesticides, chemical fertilizers and sewage sludge. It can also be grown without irradiation or genetic modification. Organic farming practices contribute to soil health, water purity, and animal welfare.
Inorganic foods are produced using chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and sewage effluent. Radiation is used to treat irradiated food; biological engineering techniques are used to create genetically modified organisms (GMO).
The term "natural" is often used interchangeably with "organic." Natural does not always mean organic. Natural products can also be labeled with synthetic ingredients.
Organic produce is often more nutritious than conventional produce, as the soil has fewer pesticides and harmful chemicals. Organic farmers are free from artificial fertilizers and pesticides.
What are some of the most popular organic products in your country?
Today, organic food is the fastest growing industry. However, we still have a lot to learn from our roots.
Organic products are the future. Organic products are safer and better for the environment. They also make it more affordable for consumers.
They are also generally more expensive. That's why we created the Organic Food Index. We wanted to know which foods are popular today and whether trends are changing.
These results indicate that organic food is growing in popularity. Between 2011 & 2012, almost half of Americans purchased organic food.
The USDA reports that organic production increased 10% last year. 9% now comes from organic foods in the United States.
Although organic food is gaining popularity, it appears that consumers still have to pay a premium for it. The average retail price for organic food is almost twice that of conventional foods, according to the Organic Trade Association (OTA).
Organic food is growing faster that any other sector of the food industry. If you look closely at the data, it will be apparent that organic food consumption has steadily increased since 2009.
In fact, according to OTA, the volume of organic products sold in supermarkets grew by 14% between 2010 and 2011.
This increase is due to consumers' demand for healthier foods. It is why organic food sales are growing across all ages.
However, younger generations are leading the charge when choosing organic food. Millennials are twice likely to choose organic food than the baby boomers. Young adults aged below 35 account for 25%.
Is organic meat more nutritious?
This question is probably answered if you've been paying close attention. The problem is that organic food is increasingly popular, but conventional food continues its decline.
Organic foods continue to be popular because they offer a healthier alternative. In addition to being safer for our health, organic products also help the environment by reducing pollution and waste.
However, this coin has two sides. Organic produce takes longer to grow and requires more resources to do so. Organic food is generally more expensive than nonorganic.
Organic meats tend to be more expensive than those raised conventionally. However, it is possible to reduce costs without compromising on quality.
Locally grown produce is a great way to save money. Locally grown fruits and veggies help to lower prices because farmers get incentives to grow good crops.
Another way to cut costs is to look for deals. Organics often come with discounts.
A third way to save money on meat consumption is to eat less. The feed required to raise cattle can make meat production expensive.
While there are many reasons organic food is better for our bodies as well as the planet, we must not forget the cost.
What are organic foods?
Organic produce does not contain synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and sewage sludge. It is also grown without irradiation or genetic engineering. No growth hormones are used. Animal testing is also not done. These crops can naturally grow, so no chemicals are used by farmers to combat pests or weeds.
Organic farming practices help maintain soil quality and reduce erosion. Organics have more nutrients than traditional food, which makes them better for our health. Organic products are typically higher in fiber and lower in fat and calories than conventionally produced ones.
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)
- To provide the highest quality products and services to every customer, with a dedicated workforce that puts the customer first and takes the extra step to achieve 100% customer satisfaction and loyalty. (hollinsorganic.com)
- 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)
- Nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids were up to 50 percent higher in organic meats and milk than in conventionally raised products.[3] (en.wikipedia.org)

How To
What happens to your Body When You Switch To Organic Products?
Organic products are free from synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, hormones, and genetic manipulation. They are derived from clean water and animals that have been free to roam. Organic products are those that do not contain chemicals or other additives. This product was produced by nature and therefore contains no harmful substances.
The term "natural" refers to how food is grown. It is usually used to describe foods that haven't been processed into their final form (e.g., fruits). Natural foods are usually fresher than processed foods, as they haven’t been exposed to heat, radiation, chemical preservatives, or other treatments. Natural doesn't necessarily have to be healthy, however. Experts agree that organic and conventional foods are very similar. Both types of food have been tested for safety and quality. Organic produce has less pesticide residues and pollutant than conventionally grown food.
Most grocery stores offer organic options. Organic meat, poultry or eggs can be found at most local markets. Some companies offer only organic products while others have separate sections. USDA Certified Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified are some of the options.
You should avoid eating these items if you are pregnant or nursing. Unborn babies and infants can be affected by pesticides.
