These labels indicate that the product meets specific criteria, which include:
- No synthetic fertilizers or pesticides
- There are no genetically modified organisms
- Animals are never given antibiotics
- No hormones are ever given to the animal
- No growth-promoting drugs
- No feed additives
- No artificial ingredients
- No irradiation
- No sewage sludge
- GMOs prohibited
- Antibiotics have never been administered

Organic foods are better for us.
According to the Environmental Working Group's recent report on pesticide residues within foods, organic fruits & vegetables contained nearly half of the pesticides that non-organic varieties. The Environmental Working Group found that organic apples contained eight-times less pesticides than other non-organic fruits, and organic strawberries had fourfold more than their conventional counterparts.
Studies have also shown that organic foods reduce the risk of mercury and lead poisoning. One study found that organic meats had 33 percent less lead in children than the levels of those who did not eat them. Another study concluded conventional fish consumption should be stopped by pregnant women because it contains high levels of mercury.
Organic food appears to be more safe than non-organic. Experts recommend eating fresh fruits and veggies whenever possible to reduce the chance of developing cancer.
How can you tell organic food from non-organic?
Fresh ingredients are essential for any chef. We feel better when our food is good.
The same goes for our food. Organics are traceable back to the source and provenance of their products. We also know it was not treated using harmful chemicals.
Organic foods can be made without synthetic pesticides. These substances are not allowed for organic farmers.
Growing organic crops is an art. There are many ways to safely grow organic crops.
Organic farming is often called sustainable agriculture. This means that while it uses fewer resources than conventional methods, it provides the necessary nutrients to sustain life.
Organic farming practices include crop rotations and cover crops, manure composting, intercropping, and cover cropping. These techniques help prevent soil erosion and improve water quality.
They also reduce chemical runoff into 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 by the USDA National Organic Program, and the other is certified by independent certifying agencies. Both require strict adherence of organic standards.
USDA seals or O Seals can be applied to organic products. This symbol indicates that the product meets federal requirements.
What are organic foods?
Organic produce is produced without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. No growth hormones or animal testing are done. These crops can be grown naturally by farmers, and they don't need to be treated with chemicals to control pests or weeds.
Organic farming practices help maintain soil quality and reduce erosion. Organics contain more nutrients than regular food and are therefore better for our overall health. Organic foods are often higher in fiber, lower in fat, and less calories than those produced conventionally.
What is an organic food manufacturer?
Organic food producers produce organic foods that are free from pesticides and other chemical fertilizers. These foods include fruits and vegetables, grains, as well as dairy products.
Organic food production happens on farms where crops have been naturally nurtured. 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 are designed to ensure consumers have access to safe, healthy and nutritious food.
Organic foods have higher nutritional content and better flavor, as well as lower pesticide residues.
USDA certified organic products must bear the USDA Certified Organic label.
This certification signifies that the product meets all standards set by the National Organic Program.
Organic food not only makes us healthier but also helps to protect the environment.
Organic farming techniques conserve water and land. Organic farming also helps to reduce greenhouse gases emissions, which are responsible for climate change.
Organic agriculture uses fewer chemicals, and less pollution runoff.
It improves air quality as harmful gases such nitrates or ammonia are less likely to accumulate in the atmosphere.
There are many forms of organic farming.
Conventional farming involves the use artificial inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides.
Regenerative farming involves compost, cover crops, and green manures to improve soil health. It promotes biodiversity.
Agroecology focuses on sustainable relationships between people, plants, and animals.
Permaculture promotes self sufficiency through the creation of systems that imitate nature.
Why should organic be my first choice?
Conventional agriculture has been linked with many health problems including asthma, allergies. When buying food, you must make wise choices.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG), offers these tips to help you choose "cleaner" foods:
Buy organic fruits and vegetables whenever possible.
USDA organic labels should be used on meat, poultry and eggs as well as milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, honey, and other dairy products.
Avoid processed foods labelled "natural"/ "no additives."
Make sure you read through all the ingredients. If an ingredient isn’t listed, it might be added during processing.
Choose fresh meats over frozen or canned ones. Foods that are frozen or canned often have less nutritionally-rich ingredients, such as high fructosecorn syrup.
Statistics
- When packaged products indicate they are “made with organic [specific ingredient or food group],” they contain at least 70% organically produced ingredients. (usda.gov)
- Popular clothing brands, like Patagonia, are labelled as organic by using 100 percent organic cotton for many of their styles. (en.wikipedia.org)
- 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)
- 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)

How To
5 Reasons You Should Buy Organic Products
Organic foods are grown without pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. They are free from genetically modified organisms and irradiated substances. Their production methods do not involve sewage sludge or industrial solvents. During its growth, the food's natural environment remains unaffected by contamination. It is free from artificial additives and preservatives. It does not contain hormones or antibiotics. They are also produced in conditions that enable them to preserve their nutritional value, freshness, and quality for longer periods.
- Health benefits. Nonorganic produce is more chemically-laden than organic. This means it's less likely to cause allergies and sensitivities. It also means you're consuming fewer toxins and carcinogens.
- Eco-friendliness. Organically grown produce doesn't require synthetic fertilizer or pesticides. Organic farms are located far from cities where there is a lot of pollution, because they require so much energy to grow. This reduces air pollution.
- Sustainability. Organic farming relies on soil fertility, rather than chemical fertilisers. This results in healthier soils and higher levels organic matter. It is better for soil health to rotate crops and allow the land to fallow regularly. Farm animals develop strong immune systems when they eat only grasses/grains raised without adding hormones or antibiotics.
- Taste. Because they are picked at their peak ripeness and then shipped long distances to supermarkets, conventional fruits and vegetables can often taste bland. Organic produce tastes sweeter and more rich because it was picked when it was still young.
- Nutrition. GMOs, BPA, and other harmful chemicals are often found in conventional processed foods. Avoid these harmful chemicals by eating whole foods, such as meat, eggs and fish, seeds, legumes, fruits, vegetables, herbs, and beans.
