How To

What you need to know about organic foods

Organic foods are produced from plants and animals that have been grown without the use of pesticides, chemical fertilizers or other additives. They are produced without genetic engineering or the application of ionizing radiation. The food must contain no artificial ingredients, colourings, flavour enhancers, or preservatives. It must not contain genetically altered organisms (GMOs).

In 1845, Justus Von Liebig, an aspiring chemist and entrepreneur, created the term "organic" to describe the properties found in manure. Nowadays, most people associate the term organic with the production of food. Organic simply means the product is made from only naturally occurring substances such proteins, carbohydrate, and minerals.

Over the past decade, organic products have seen a dramatic increase in consumption. According to statistics, approximately 50% of the world’s population consumes at minimum one organic product each day. This number increases constantly and is expected to reach 70%, 80%, and 90% by 2020.

There are many reasons that organic products are chosen by consumers. 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. However, there are also ethical concerns regarding the treatment of farm workers and animals, which is why some consumers opt for non-organic products.

Organic foods are more expensive than those made from conventional food, though prices may vary by country and region. Organic food prices are affected by many factors. One factor is the availability of land suitable for organic agriculture. Another factor is the cost of inputs, labour and materials required for organic agriculture. Other factors include transportation costs, marketing costs, and taxes. The average European price for organic food is 10% lower than the regular price.
