Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits to organic farming?
Organic farming provides farmers with a way of producing food without using chemicals. Farmers don't have worry about whether harmful pesticides are affecting their crops or animals.
Organic farming also allows for more natural fertilizers. These fertilizers can be used to help grow healthier plants and to reduce the amount produced chemical waste.
Organic farming is also environmentally friendly. Many farmers use composting methods to replenish soil nutrients. This reduces pollutants and conserves precious resources.
Organic farming is good for the environment and increases crop yields. This is because there is much less water used during the growing season.
Organic production methods also mean that farmers receive higher prices for their produce. Consumers who are more aware about the dangers associated with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and other chemicals will choose healthier foods.
This raises the demand to produce organic food products. Organic farming is growing in popularity.
Are organic foods better for us?
According to the Environmental Working Group, organic vegetables and fruits had half the amount of pesticides as non-organic. They discovered that organic apples contained eight more pesticides per gram than non-organic ones, while organic strawberries contained four times as many pesticides.
Some studies also suggest that eating organic food helps reduce your exposure to toxic metals, such as mercury and lead. For example, one study showed that children who ate organic meat had 33 percent lower blood lead levels than those who didn't consume organic meats. Another study concluded that pregnant women should avoid consuming conventional fish due to high levels of mercury.
Organic food seems to be safer than the non-organic. Experts recommend that fresh produce and vegetables be used whenever possible to reduce your chances of developing cancer.
Is organic a guarantee that the product is pesticide-free
Organic food is chemical-free and grown without pesticides. This means there is little or no exposure to chemicals such as fertilizers and herbicides.
Because organic produce is free of harmful additives, it also has more nutrients than conventionally grown foods.
The USDA National Organic Program requires that organic farming practices be followed by farmers.
These guidelines address soil preparation, crop rotations, pest control, water conservation, harvesting, and other practices.
Organic farming methods are also beneficial for wildlife and natural habitats.
What is organic?
Organic meat is organic food that has been grown naturally without the use of pesticides, artificial fertilizers or hormones. Organic meat is also a guarantee that the animals weren’t fed any genetically altered feed. This means that the meat is safe for consumption as there aren’t any harmful chemicals.
Organic meats are also better for our environment. We reduce the amount of pollution in our rivers, lakes, and landfills by eating organic food. Organic farmers don't use harmful chemicals to kill birds and insects, which helps wildlife.
You can eat organic meats and produce whenever you can. Local purchasing helps keep money local, not out of the state. Local businesses often pass along savings to customers when shopping locally. Shopping locally helps to keep American workers employed, as opposed to sending them overseas.
How can I tell if my produce has been certified organic?
These three labels are essential if you want to be certain that you are purchasing organic produce.
USDA Organic Certified - Produce certified by the USDA as being 100% organic.
Certified Naturally Grown – Produce that meets strict organic standards but has not received USDA certification.
Pastured/Free Range - Produce from animals who live outdoors and graze freely on grass and herbs.
These labels are used to indicate that the product meets specified criteria.
- No pesticides or synthetic fertilizers
- No genetically modified organisms
- Animals are never given antibiotics
- Animals never receive hormones
- No growth-promoting drugs
- No feed additives
- No artificial ingredients
- No irradiation
- No sewage effluent
- GMOs not allowed
- Antibiotics have never been administered
- No hormones ever given
- No growth-promoting drug
- No feed-additives
- No artificial ingredients
- No sewage solids (if it's not GMO).
- No irradiation

What are the most popular organic products?
Today organic food is the fastest-growing sector. But even though we've come a long way from our roots, there is still much room for growth.
Organic products are the future. They are safer, healthier for the environment, and easier to afford for consumers.
They are also generally more expensive. That's why we created the Organic Food Index. We wanted the ability to identify which foods are currently most popular and whether these trends have changed.
The results of the study show that organic food has become more popular. Between 2011 and 2012, the number of Americans who shop for organic food increased by almost 50%.
The USDA reports that organic production increased 10% last year. Organic food now makes up 9% U.S. agriculture output.
Organic food is certainly on the rise but consumers are still not able to afford it. The Organic Trade Association (OTA) reports that organic food retail prices average almost double the price of conventional foods.
Despite this, organic food is growing at a faster rate than any other food segment. 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 is because of consumer demand for healthier products, which explains the rise in organic food sales across all age categories.
Younger generations are choosing organic food more often than older generations. Millennials are twice as likely than baby boomers to buy organic foods. The 25% of organic food purchase made by younger adults below 35 are made up of young adults.
What should I look out for when buying organic products?
USDA-certified organic labels are desirable. This guarantee that the product has met specific standards set forth by USDA. Look for the "USDA Organic" seal on packages, boxes, cartons, cans, and jars.
When shopping for meat, ensure it comes from cows fed 100% organic feed. Cattle are ruminants which means that they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle have 4 stomach compartments: Rumen, reticulum and omasum. Organic feeding must be done on all organs of the animal in order to get the cow labelled organic 100 percent.
When buying chicken, make sure it comes only from chickens fed 100% organic feed and never given antibiotics. Chickens can eat both animal and plant food. Omnivorous chickens have a digestive tract composed of a crop, proventriculus, gizzard, small intestine, large intestine, 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 have four stomachs, dairy cows have four. Milk comes from the fourth stomach compartment--the udder.
Check the label when purchasing livestock of any other type to find out what percentage was used in the animal's diet. For example, pork may be labelled '95% organic.' This means 95 percent of the pig's feed came from organic sources.
Statistics
- 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)
- 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)
- Cosmetic brands such as Laurel and Rose Mira are 100 percent organic and have a wide array of skincare products. (en.wikipedia.org)
- 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)

How To
What happens to your body when you switch to organic products?
Organic products can be grown without synthetic fertilizers, hormones or antibiotics. They are free-range and come from clean water sources. The term "organic", which means they don't contain additives or chemicals, refers to their non-containing any. This product was produced by nature and therefore contains no harmful substances.
The term "natural" refers to how food is grown. It's usually used to describe foods not processed into their final form (such as fruits). Natural foods are often more fresh than others, because they haven’t been processed with heat, radiation or chemical preservations. Some people think natural does not necessarily mean healthy. Experts say that there aren't many differences between organic and conventional food. Both types of food are tested for safety, quality, and purity. Organic produce has less pesticide residues and pollutant than conventionally grown food.
Most grocery stores now sell organic products. Check with your local market if you want organic meat, poultry, dairy, eggs, and seafood. Some companies offer only organic products while others have separate sections. USDA Certified Organic is a non-GMO Project Verified company.
These foods should be avoided by women who are pregnant or breast-feeding. Pesticides have been shown to harm infants and unborn babies.
