Frequently Asked Questions
How can you tell if food is organic?
If you ask any chef, he'll tell you there's nothing more important than fresh ingredients. Because we feel better when we eat well.
The same applies to our food. We can identify exactly where and how organic foods were grown when we purchase them. We also know it was not treated using harmful chemicals.
Organic food is produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. These substances aren't permitted for organic farmers.
Organic farming doesn't have to be difficult. There are many safe ways to grow them.
Sustainable agriculture is also known as organic farming. This means that while it uses fewer resources than conventional methods, it provides the necessary nutrients to sustain life.
Crop rotation, crop rotation, cover cropping and composting manure are all organic farming methods. These techniques prevent soil erosion while improving water quality.
They reduce chemical runoff from waterways. Because most people live in urban areas, it is easy to find farms that grow organic produce.
Two types of certification programs are available for organic products. One is certified under the USDA National Organic Program. The other is certified independently by certifying authorities. Both require strict conformity to organic standards.
USDA seals, or O Seals, may be attached to certified organic products. These symbols indicate that the product meets federal requirements.
Why should organic be my first choice?
The health risks of conventional agriculture include asthma, allergies and diabetes. It is important to make informed choices about food purchases.
The Environmental Working Group has the following tips for choosing "cleaner" food.
As much as possible, purchase organic fruits or vegetables
USDA organic labels can be found on meat, poultry (eggs, eggs), milk, cheese and yogurt as well.
Avoid processed foods that claim to be "natural" and "no additives."
Carefully review ingredient lists. If an ingredient is not listed, it can be added during processing.
Fresh meats are better than canned or frozen. Canned and frozen foods can often have lower nutritional content like high fructose syrup.
What are the benefits to organic farming?
Organic farming allows farmers to produce food using only natural methods. Farmers don't need to worry that harmful pesticides could harm their crops or animals.
Organic farming can also use natural fertilizers. These fertilizers promote healthy plants and decrease the amount of chemicals used.
Organic farming is also eco-friendly. Farmers often use composting techniques to recycle nutrients back into the soil. This helps to reduce pollution and conserve valuable resources.
Organic farming improves crop yields while also helping the environment. Because organic farming uses less water during the growing season, this is why it is so successful.
Organic production methods mean farmers can get higher prices. Consumers who are more aware about the dangers associated with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and other chemicals will choose healthier foods.
This drives up the demand for organic products. Organic farming is becoming more popular because of this.
What are the things to look for when purchasing organic products?
Look for USDA-certified organic labels. This certification means that the product is certified organic by USDA. Look for the "USDA Organic" seal on packages, boxes, cartons, cans, and jars.
When purchasing meat, ensure it is 100% organic. Ruminants are cattle that chew their cud. Ruminant cattle have four stomach areas: rumen (reticulum), omasum (omasum), and abomasum. If a cow is to be labeled organically, all parts must be organically fed.
When buying chicken, make sure it comes only from chickens fed 100% organic feed and never given antibiotics. Chickens are omnivores. This means they can eat both plant and animal food. The digestive tract of an omnivorous chicken is composed of a crop and proventriculus, gizzard as well as small intestine, large intestinale, and anus.
You should ensure you only buy dairy products made from milk that has been produced by cows who have been fed 100% organically grown food. Just like ruminants, dairy cows also have four stomachs. The fourth stomach compartment is the udder.
To find out the percent of the feed the animals received when you purchase other types livestock, be sure to read the labels. For example, pork may be labelled '95% organic.' This means 95 percent of the pig's feed came from organic sources.
Do organic foods offer health benefits?
Organic foods may not be healthy for everyone. But for those who eat them regularly, there are definite health benefits.
Organic food is grown without the use of pesticides herbicides fungicides hormones antibiotics or genetic engineering. Organic produce does not contain harmful chemicals that could be harmful to the human body.
Additionally, organic products are less likely to contain additives during processing. You're more likely to eat organic products than you are non-organic.
Research shows that organic produce contains more nutrients and antioxidants compared to conventionally grown fruit and vegetables.
Even though organic farming methods can be more costly than conventional farming methods they are often more productive. Organic farming encourages soil fertility and biodiversity.
This helps prevent erosion and conserve water. Organic farms require less fuel and energy because they don't contain toxic chemicals.
Some people worry that organic foods are more expensive than conventional ones. However, prices can vary depending upon where you live. For example, organic apples are generally more expensive than conventional apples.
But, if we look at the total cost of a combination of both types and fruits, we'll see organic is much cheaper.
Do you want to go organic?
It all depends on your personality. Organic food is not for you if you don’t like it.
You can purchase organic food if it is delicious. Organic food is safer than traditional commercial produce, as they are not subject to chemical pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Organic agriculture preserves our environment by conserving natural resource and encouraging biodiversity.
What are the most loved organic products?
Organic food is the fastest-growing industry today. There is still much to be done, even though we have come so far from our roots.
Organic products are the future. Organic products are safer, more sustainable, and cheaper for consumers.
But they also tend to be higher priced. 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.
The results of the study show that organic food has become more popular. Between 2011-2012, nearly half of Americans shopped for organic foods.
According to USDA, organic production grew by 10% last year. 9% now comes from organic foods in the United States.
Organic food is growing in popularity but is still expensive. According to the Organic Trade Association, (OTA), organic food retail prices are nearly twice as expensive than conventional options.
Organic food is growing faster that any other sector of the food industry. If you examine the data closely, you will see that organic foods have grown steadily in consumption since 2009.
According to OTA however, the volume in supermarkets of organic products grew by 14% from 2010 to 2011.
This increase is due to consumers' demand for healthier foods. It is why organic food sales are growing across all ages.
However, the younger generation is leading the charge in choosing organic food. Millennials are twice likely to choose organic food than the baby boomers. 25 percent of organic food purchases are made by young adults younger than 35.
Statistics

How To
What you should know about organic food
Organic foods come from plants and animals without chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or additives. They can't be genetically modified or exposed to ionizing radiation. Food must not contain artificial colours, flavour enhancers or preservatives. It should not include genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
When Justus von Liebig, a chemical chemist, coined "organic", which means "life-giving," to describe the properties in manure, the term "organic" was used for the first time. Nowadays, most people associate the term organic with the production of food. Organic means the product has only natural substances like proteins, carbohydrates, and fats that are found in nature.
The global consumption of organic products has increased dramatically over the past decade. According to recent statistics, around 50% of the world's population consumes at least one organic product daily. This percentage continues to rise and is projected to increase by 70%, 80%, or 90% by 2020.
There are many reasons consumers choose organic products. Some consumers prefer organic products for the taste. Other people prefer them because organic produce is more nutritious. Still others believe organic farming is better for the environment. Some consumers choose non-organic products because of ethical concerns about farm workers' and animal treatment.
Organic foods are usually more expensive than conventional ones, although prices vary depending on countries and regions. There are different factors influencing the price of organic food. One is the availability and cost of land that can be used for organic agriculture. Another factor is the price of inputs as well as labour for organic farming. There are other factors such as transportation costs, marketing and taxes. The average European price for organic food is 10% lower than the regular price.
