Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most popular organic products?
Today, organic food is the fastest growing industry. But even though we've come a long way from our roots, there is still much room for growth.
Organic products are the future. They are safer and more cost-effective for consumers.
They also tend to have higher prices. That is why we developed the Organic Food Index. We wanted to determine which foods are the most popular among shoppers today and whether these trends are changing.
The results showed that organic food is increasing in popularity. Between 2011 & 2012, almost half of Americans purchased organic food.
The USDA reports that organic production increased 10% last year. Organic food now makes up 9% U.S. agriculture output.
Organic food is certainly on the rise but consumers are still not able to afford it. According to the Organic Trade Association, (OTA), organic food retail prices are nearly twice as expensive than conventional options.
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 however, the volume in supermarkets of organic products grew by 14% from 2010 to 2011.
This is because consumers are looking for healthier foods. Organic food sales have been increasing in all age groups.
However, younger generations are leading the charge when choosing organic food. Millennials are twice as likely to buy organic food compared to baby boomers. And young adults under 35 years old account for 25% of all organic food purchases.
What are some of the benefits of organic agriculture?
Organic farming offers farmers a method of growing food that doesn't require the use of chemicals. Organic farming is a way for farmers to produce food without using harmful pesticides.
Organic farming also permits for the use of natural fertilizers. These fertilizers promote healthy plants and decrease the amount of chemicals used.
Organic farming is also beneficial for the environment. Many farmers use composting methods to replenish soil nutrients. This reduces the risk of pollution and helps conserve precious resources.
Organic farming can increase crop yields and help the environment. Because organic farming uses less water during the growing season, this is why it is so successful.
Organic production methods result in farmers receiving higher prices. Consumers who become more aware of the dangers of pesticides and chemical fertilizers demand healthier foods.
This raises the demand to produce organic food products. Organic farming is gaining popularity because of these reasons.
Is organic food good for you?

The USDA regulates organic farming practices and requires farmers to follow strict guidelines to ensure that organic produce is safe to eat. There are more than 30 million acres of US farmland that have been certified organic.
Organic food can often be cheaper 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.

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 are free-range and come from clean water sources. Organic means that they are free from chemicals and additives. This product was created by nature, and therefore does not contain harmful substances.
The term "natural", refers only to how food was grown. It is usually used to describe foods that haven't been processed 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. Many experts say there isn't much difference between conventional and organic foods. Both types of food are tested for safety, quality, and purity. Organic produce contains fewer pesticide and other pollutants than conventionally-grown produce.
Most grocery shops now carry organic options. You can find organic meat, poultry, eggs, and seafood at your local market. Some companies sell only organic products. Other companies have separate sections. USDA Certified Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified are some of the options.
These foods should be avoided by women who are pregnant or breast-feeding. Unborn babies and infants can be affected by pesticides.
