How To
What Organic Foods Are You Looking For?
Organic foods are produced from plants and animals that have been grown without the use of pesticides, chemical fertilizers or other additives. They can't be genetically modified or exposed to ionizing radiation. Food must not contain artificial colours, flavour enhancers or preservatives. It should not include genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
When Justus von Liebig, a chemical chemist, coined "organic", which means "life-giving," to describe the properties in manure, the term "organic" was used for the first time. Nowadays, most people associate the term organic with the production of food. Organic simply means the product is made from only naturally occurring substances such proteins, carbohydrate, and minerals.
The consumption of organic foods has risen dramatically in the past decades. According to recent statistics, about 50% of the global population consumes at-least one organic product every day. This percentage is increasing and will reach 70%, 80% and 90% by 2020.
There are many factors that consumers choose organic produce. Organic produce can be preferred for its taste; others prefer them for being healthier. Some people believe organic farming to be more environmentally friendly. Some consumers choose non-organic products because of ethical concerns about farm workers' and animal treatment.
Organic food tends to be more expensive that conventional foods, but prices can vary depending upon the country or region. The price of organic food is affected by several factors. One is the availability and cost of land that can be used for organic agriculture. Another factor is the price of inputs as well as labour for organic farming. Transport costs, marketing costs and taxes are also important. In Europe, for example, organic food prices are 10% more than regular food.
