Frequently Asked Questions

What are organic fruits?

Organic food is free from pesticides, synthetic fertilizers and hormones. They also contain more nutrients, such as vitamins A, C, E, and K, plus omega-3 fatty acids. These healthy ingredients make organic food better for our bodies and the planet.

Organic foods are made using sustainable agricultural practices, which protect soil quality and promote biodiversity. They are produced without harmful chemicals, irradiation, or sewage sludge.

While most consumers associate organics with produce, many organic products include dairy, meat, poultry, eggs, baked goods, personal care items, pet food, and household cleaning supplies.

"Organic" is defined by the USDA as crops that have been grown following strict guidelines set forth in federal government standards. Farmers cannot use conventional (non-organic) methods to grow these foods. However, they can use approved natural methods to control pests, like crop rotation and cover crops, or animal feed made of organic materials.

A farmer must also adhere to guidelines about how much fertilizer or pesticide he applies during the growing season. Also, he must rotate his fields between different crops. GMOs (genetically modified organisms), synthetic growth hormones and insecticides as well as synthetic fertilizers are prohibited by farmers.

Fruits and vegetables labelled "100% organic" meet all the requirements above. But, not all farms label their produce as 100% organic. It would confuse consumers. Instead, they will label the product as "made from organic ingredients". "

Why should I choose organic?

Conventional agriculture has been linked to several health problems, including asthma, allergies, obesity, diabetes, cancer, birth defects, hormone imbalances, and other diseases. Healthy choices must be made when purchasing food.

The Environmental Working Group has the following tips for choosing "cleaner" food.

As much as possible, purchase organic fruits or vegetables

Look for USDA organic labels on meat, poultry, eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, and honey.

Avoid processed foods that claim to be "natural" and "no additives."

Check ingredient lists carefully. If an ingredient is not listed, it can be added during processing.

Fresh meats are better than canned or frozen. Many frozen and canned foods contain less nutrients, like high fructose Corn Syrup.

What is an Organic Food Producer?

Organic food producers make products that are organically grown. These foods include fruits and vegetables, grains, as well as dairy products.

When crops are naturally nurtured, organic food production can be achieved. This includes crop rotation, soil preparation, and pest control.

Organic products must meet certain criteria established by USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) before they can be considered organic.

These guidelines are designed to ensure consumers have access to safe, healthy and nutritious food.

Organic foods have higher nutritional content and better flavor, as well as lower pesticide residues.

USDA certified organic products must bear the USDA Certified Organic label.

This certification indicates that the product meets the requirements of the National Organic Program.

Organic food helps us eat healthier and also protects the environment.

Organic farming methods preserve natural resources, such as water or land. In addition, organic methods reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which cause climate change.

Organic agriculture uses fewer chemical inputs and pollutes less.

Because harmful gases such as ammonia or nitrates are less likely in the atmosphere, it also improves air quality.

There are many kinds of organic farming: permaculture, regenerative and conventional.

Conventional farming is the use of synthetic inputs like pesticides or fertilizers.

Regenerative agriculture uses cover crops and green manures to improve soil quality. It encourages biodiversity.

Agroecology emphasizes sustainable relationships between people and plants.

Permaculture is a system that mimics nature and promotes self-sufficiency.

How To

What you should know about organic food

Organic foods are made from animals and plants without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. They are not subject to genetic engineering or the use of ionizing radioactive radiation. Food must not contain artificial colours, 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 means the product has only natural substances like proteins, carbohydrates, and fats that are found in nature.

The global consumption of organic products has increased dramatically over the past decade. According to recent statistics, around 50% of the world's population consumes at least one organic product daily. This number is rising and is expected increase to 70%, 90%, and 80% by 2020.

There are many reasons why consumers choose organic products. Some prefer the flavor, while others prefer them because they are healthier. Others also believe organic farming makes it more sustainable. 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 food tends to be more expensive that conventional foods, but prices can vary depending upon the country or region. There are many factors that affect the cost of organic food. One is the availability and cost of land that can be used for organic agriculture. Another is the cost for inputs and labour required to grow organic crops. Transportation costs, marketing expenses, and taxes are all factors. In Europe, for instance, the average price for organic food in Europe is 10% higher than its regular price.
