Frequently Asked Questions
Which organic products are most in demand?
Organic food is the fastest-growing industry today. 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 and more cost-effective for consumers.
But they also tend to be higher priced. The Organic Food Index was created to address this. We wanted to find out which foods are most popular with shoppers today, and whether these trends are changing.
These results indicate that organic food is growing in popularity. Between 2011 and 2012, the number of Americans who shop for organic food increased by almost 50%.
According to USDA, organic production grew by 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. According to the Organic Trade Association (OTA), average retail prices for organic food are almost double those of conventional alternatives.
Organic food is growing faster that any other sector of the food industry. You'll notice that organic food consumption has increased steadily since 2009.
According to OTA's data, organic products sold in supermarkets grew at 14% between 2010 - 2011.
This increase is due to consumers' demand for healthier foods. It is why organic food sales are growing across all ages.
Younger generations are also leading the way in organic food choices. Millennials have twice the likelihood of buying organic food as baby boomers. And young adults under 35 years old account for 25% of all organic food purchases.

Why is organic food important?
Our health is dependent on organic produce. Organic produce is the best way to eat healthy foods. It is healthier for us than any pesticides or fertilizers and it is also more eco-friendly.
Organic farming uses natural methods to grow crops without harmful chemicals. This makes organic farming safer for both humans and animals. When you choose organic food, both you and the earth are protected.
The benefits of organic food go beyond our health, though. We all know how toxic processed food can make you feel. You might not know this, but organic fruits and vegetables don't have to be treated with chemicals. This means they are more fresh tasting, last longer and look better.
Organic food is so important. It's healthy for you and the planet.

How To
5 Reasons to buy organic products
Organic foods are free from pesticides and synthetic fertilisers. They contain no genetically modified or irradiated food ingredients. They are not made with sewage sludge, industrial solvents, or any other chemical substances. The food's natural environment is protected from contamination during its growth cycle. It is free from artificial additives and preservatives. No hormones or antibiotics are used. They are also grown in conditions that ensure they retain their nutritional value for longer periods of time.
- Health benefits. Organic produce contains less chemicals that nonorganic. It's therefore less likely that it will cause allergies and other sensitivities. It also means you're consuming fewer toxins 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. That helps reduce air pollution.
- Sustainability. Organic farming relies on soil fertility rather than chemical fertilizers; this results in healthier soils with higher levels of organic matter. It is better for soil health to rotate crops and allow the land to fallow regularly. Strong immune systems develop when farm animals are fed only grasses grown without antibiotics or added hormones.
- Taste. Due to being picked at peak quality, vegetables and fruits are often bland. Because it was picked while still unripe, organic produce is richer and more flavorful.
- Nutrition. GMOs and BPA are common in processed foods. You can avoid them by sticking with whole foods such meat, fish, eggs, seafood, seeds and beans, as well as fruits, veggies, herbs, and vegetables.
