Frequently Asked Questions

What should I be looking out for when shopping organic products

USDA-certified organic labels are desirable. This guarantees that the product meets certain USDA standards. On packages, boxes, cartons or cans, look out for the USDA Organic seal.

When shopping for meat ensure it comes only from cows that are fed 100% organic feed. Cattle are ruminants which means that they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle are divided into four stomach compartments, the rumen and reticulum as well as the omasum and abmasum. If a cow is to be labeled organically, all parts must be organically fed.

Make sure you only buy chicken from chicken farms that are fed organically and have never been given antibiotics. Chickens are omnivores. This means they can eat both plant and animal food. Omnivorous chickens have a digestive system that includes a crop (proventriculus), gizzard and small intestine.

Buy dairy products that are 100% organically produced. Like ruminants and dairy cows, they have four stomach compartments. The fourth stomach compartment--the cow's udder--is where milk is produced.

To find out the percent of the feed the animals received when you purchase other types livestock, be sure to read the labels. A label for pork might say "95% organic", which means that 95% of the feed used by the pork came from organic sources.

Why is organic food so important?

However, organic food is good for our health. We are all well aware of how harmful processed food can make our bodies feel. Organic fruits and vegetables aren’t subject to chemicals spray. It means that organic fruits, vegetables and other foods are fresher tasting, more vibrant and last longer.

This is why organic food is so important. Because it's not only healthy for you, it's healthier for the world.

There are also fewer additives used during processing. Organic products are healthier than those that use additives during processing.

Studies have shown that organic foods are more nutritious and rich in antioxidants than fruits and veggies grown from conventional sources.

Even though organic farming methods can be more costly than conventional farming methods they are often more productive. Organic farming promotes soil fertility as well as biodiversity.

This helps to prevent erosion and conserve water resources. Plus, because organic farms aren't treated with toxic chemicals, these farms typically require less energy and fuel.

People worry that organic foods will be more expensive than those made from conventional food. However, prices vary depending on where you live. Organic apples, on the other hand, tend to be more expensive that conventional apples.

You'll be able to see the difference in price if you add up all of the fruits in a single basket.

It all depends on who you are. You shouldn't bother if you don't enjoy organic food.

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 about twice those of conventional products.

That said, organic food is growing faster than any other segment of the food sector. If you look closely at the data, it will be apparent that organic food consumption has steadily increased since 2009.

According to OTA's data, organic products sold in supermarkets grew at 14% between 2010 - 2011.

This increase reflects consumer demand for healthier foods, which explains why organic food sales are increasing across all age groups.
