Frequently Asked Questions
How do you know if your food is organic?
If you ask any chef, he'll tell you there's nothing more important than fresh ingredients. That's because when we eat well, we feel better.
The same applies to our food. When we buy organics, we know exactly where it came from and how it was grown. We also know it was not treated using harmful chemicals.
Organic foods are produced without using synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics, or genetically modified organisms (GMO). These substances aren't permitted for organic farmers.
Organic farming doesn't have to be difficult. You have many options to safely grow them.
Organic farming is often called sustainable agriculture. This is because organic farming uses less resources than conventional methods but provides enough nutrients for life to last.
Organic farming practices include crop rotation, composting manure, cover cropping, and intercropping. These techniques help prevent soil erosion and improve water quality.
They reduce the amount of chemical runoff that can enter waterways. Since most of us live in urban areas, we can find local farms that raise organic produce.
There are two types certified programs for organic products. One is certified through the USDA National Organic Program and the other by independent certifying agents. Both require strict organic standards to be adhered to.
USDA seals and O Seals are symbols that indicate organic certification.
What is an organic food manufacturer?
Organic food producers create products that are grown without pesticides and chemical fertilizers. These foods include fruits as well vegetables, grains and dairy products.
Organic food production is only possible on farms where the crops are grown naturally. This includes soil preparation, pest controls, and 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.
The benefits of eating organic range from lower levels of pesticide residues and heavy metal contamination to higher nutrient content and better flavour.
USDA Certified Organic products must be labeled with the seal "USDA certified organic".
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 help preserve natural resources such as water and land. In addition, organic methods reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which cause climate change.
Organic agriculture uses fewer chemical inputs and pollutes less.
It also improves air quality because harmful gases like ammonia and nitrates are less likely to build up in the atmosphere.
There are many types of organic farming, including conventional, regenerative, agroecological, and permaculture.
Conventional agriculture refers to the use synthetic inputs, such as pesticides/fertilizers.
Regenerative farming includes compost, cover crops, as well as green manures that improve soil health. It encourages biodiversity.
Agroecology concentrates on the sustainable relationship between people, plants and animals.
Permaculture promotes self sufficiency through the creation of systems that imitate nature.
Are organic foods better for us?
According to the Environmental Working Group's latest report on pesticide residues in foods, organic fruits and vegetables had nearly half the level of pesticides compared with non-organic versions. 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 that pregnant mothers should avoid eating conventional fish because of the high levels mercury.
Organic food seems to be safer than the non-organic. Experts recommend eating fresh fruits and veggies whenever possible to reduce the chance of developing cancer.
What's the difference between organic foods and inorganic food?
Organic food is free from pesticides, chemical fertilizers and sewage sludge. It can also be grown without irradiation or genetic modification. Organic farming practices support soil health, water quality, and animal welfare.
Inorganic food is grown with pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Radiated foods can be treated with radiation. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are created by biological engineering techniques.
"Natural" is sometimes used interchangeably in the context of "organic." Natural does not necessarily have to mean organic. There are also products labelled "natural" which may contain synthetic ingredients.
Organic produce is usually more nutritious that conventional produce. This is because organic soil contains fewer toxic chemicals and pesticides. Organic farmers do not use pesticides, artificial fertilizers, hormones, anti-biotics, and other harmful chemicals.
What is inorganic foods?
Organic food is made without pesticides or artificial fertilizers. Inorganic foods contain these chemicals, which may cause health problems.
Organic food is organically grown without the use of harmful chemicals such as pesticides or herbicides. These chemicals can cause harm to animals and humans.
Inorganic food can include meat, fish eggs, buttermilk cheese, buttermilk, yogurt, honey grains, vegetables, fruits spices, and herbs.
Organic refers the way an agricultural product grows. Organic farming is based on natural methods, soil amendments, and crop growth. Conventional farming uses pesticides, fertilizers, and chemicals.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) must set strict guidelines for organic foods. According to the National Organic Program Standards, all certified organic food must be free from prohibited materials such as antibiotics, growth hormones, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and industrial solvents. Organic food must not contain toxic chemicals, petroleum-based fertilizers or sewage sludges.
Statistics
- 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)
- Once certified by the USDA, it can fall into one of four categories: "100 percent organic", "organic," "made with organic ingredients," or "made with less than 70 percent organic ingredients. (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)
- Popular clothing brands, like Patagonia, are labelled as organic by using 100 percent organic cotton for many of their styles. (en.wikipedia.org)

How To
5 Reasons You Should Buy Organic Products
Organic foods are organically grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. They contain no genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or irradiated ingredients. Their production does not use sewage sludge and industrial solvents. During the course of its growth cycle, the natural environment of the food is protected from contamination. It is completely free from artificial preservatives, additives, and other harmful chemicals. It does not contain hormones or antibiotics. They are also produced in conditions that preserve their nutritional value and freshness over longer periods.
- Health benefits. Organic produce contains less chemicals that nonorganic. This makes it less likely to cause allergies or sensitivities. It also means that you consume less toxic chemicals and carcinogens.
- Eco-friendliness. Produce grown without pesticides and synthetic fertilizer requires very little water. Organic farms are typically located far away form areas of high pollution and where conventional growth is difficult because it requires so much effort. 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. Rotating crops and allowing the soil to rest between harvests improves soil health. Strong immune systems are developed when farm animals only eat grasses and grains that have not been treated with hormones or antibiotics.
- Taste. Due to being picked at peak quality, vegetables and fruits are often bland. Organic produce is more rich and sweetened because it was harvested when it was still unripe.
- Nutrition. GMOs and BPA are common in processed foods. Stick to whole foods, including meat, eggs fish, nuts seeds, beans and fruit.
