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.

In fact, according to OTA, the volume of organic products sold in supermarkets grew by 14% between 2010 and 2011.

This increase is due to consumers' demand for healthier foods. It is why organic food sales are growing across all ages.

Buy organic meats whenever possible. This is the best way for you to eat healthy, organic meats. Local shopping helps keep more money in your community than it does out of state.

How To

Five Reasons to Purchase Organic Products

Organic foods do not use pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. They contain no genetically modified or irradiated food 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 does not contain artificial preservatives or additives. No hormones or antibiotics are used. They are also grown in conditions that ensure they retain their nutritional value for longer periods of time.

1. Health benefits. Nonorganic produce is more chemically-laden than organic. This means it's less likely to cause allergies and sensitivities. It also means you're consuming fewer toxins and carcinogens.
2. Eco-friendliness. Organic produce is low in water consumption. Organic farms are located far from cities where there is a lot of pollution, because they require so much energy to grow. This reduces air pollution.
3. Sustainability. Organic farming relies more on soil fertility than chemical fertilizers. This results is healthier soils with higher organic matter. It is better for soil health to rotate crops and allow the land to fallow regularly. Farm animals that eat only grasses, grains and no antibiotics develop strong immune systems.
4. Taste. Because they are picked at their peak ripeness and then shipped long distances to supermarkets, conventional fruits and vegetables can often taste bland. Organic produce is more rich and sweetened because it was harvested when it was still unripe.
5. Nutrition. GMOs, BPA, and other harmful chemicals are often found in conventional processed foods. If you want to avoid these, stick to whole foods such as meat, eggs, fish, nuts, seeds, beans, fruit, veggies, and herbs.
