Organic food is the fastest-growing industry today. There is still much to be done, even though we have come so far from our roots.
Organic products are the future. They are safer, better for our environment, and more affordable for consumers.
However, they are also more expensive. That's why we created the Organic Food Index. We wanted to determine which foods are the most popular among shoppers today and whether these trends are changing.
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%.
According to USDA, organic production grew by 10% last year. 9% now comes from organic foods in the United States.
Organic food is growing in popularity but is still expensive. According to the Organic Trade Association (OTA), average retail prices for organic food are almost double those of conventional alternatives.
The organic food sector is growing faster than other segments of the food supply. If you examine the data closely, you will see that organic foods have grown steadily in consumption since 2009.
According to OTA, organic products sold in supermarkets grew 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 are twice likely to choose organic food than the baby boomers. And young adults under 35 years old account for 25% of all organic food purchases.
Do organic foods have health benefits?
Some organic foods may not prove to be good for you. There are certain health benefits to those who consume organic foods regularly.
Organic food is produced without artificial fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, hormones, antibiotics, or genetic engineering. Organic produce is not grown with harmful chemicals that could pose a risk to human health.
Organic products also have fewer additives. Organic products are likely to be healthier than nonorganic.
Studies show that organic foods contain more nutrients and antioxidants than conventionally grown fruits and vegetables.
Although organic farming methods tend to cost more than conventional farming methods, they often yield better results. Organic farming promotes soil fertility as well as biodiversity.
This helps protect against erosion and conserve water resources. Organic farms require less fuel and energy because they don't contain toxic chemicals.
Some people fear that organic foods can be more costly than conventional foods. However, prices vary depending on where you live. Organic apples, on the other hand, tend to be more expensive that conventional apples.
But if you look at the total price of a basket of both types of fruit, you'll see that buying organic is cheaper.
So should you go organic?
It all depends on your personality. If you don't like the taste of organic food, then you probably shouldn't bother.
Organic food is available if you are a fan of good food. And since most commercial growers use chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs), organic foods are safer for consumers.
Organic agriculture protects our environment by conserving natural resources and promoting biodiversity.
Are organic foods healthier?
According to the Environmental Working Group's recent report on pesticide residues within foods, organic fruits & vegetables contained nearly half of the pesticides that non-organic varieties. 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. One study revealed that children who ate organic meat had 33 per cent lower blood lead levels than their counterparts who didn't eat organic meats. Another study concluded that pregnant women should avoid consuming conventional fish due to high levels of mercury.
Organic food tends to be healthier than nonorganic. Experts recommend eating fresh fruits and veggies whenever possible to reduce the chance of developing cancer.
Why should I go organic?
There have been many health problems linked to conventional farming, including allergies, asthma, diabetes, obesity, cancer, birth defects and hormone imbalances. It is important to make informed choices about food purchases.
Here are some tips from the Environmental Working Group (EWG).
Always purchase organic fruits, vegetables and other products whenever possible.
Look for USDA organic labels on meat, poultry, eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, and honey.
Avoid processed foods that are labeled "natural" or "no added ingredients."
Make sure you read through all the ingredients. If an ingredient doesn't appear on the list, it could be added to the product during processing.
Frozen and canned meats should be preferred to fresh. Many frozen and canned foods contain less nutrients, like high fructose Corn Syrup.
What is organic meat?
Organic meat is food that has not been treated with pesticides or artificial fertilizers. This also means that animals weren't given any genetically modified feed. Because there are no harmful chemicals in the meat, it is safe for human consumption.
Organic meats are good for the environment. The pollution levels in our environment are reduced when we eat organic foods. Organic farmers generally don't use toxic chemicals that kill birds and insects. We help to protect wildlife.
The best way to ensure that you eat healthy organic meats is to buy them locally whenever possible. Local shopping helps keep more money in your community than it does out of state. Local businesses often offer discounts to their customers by shopping locally. In addition, buying local keeps jobs right here in America instead of sending them overseas.

How To
Organic foods are healthier and more nutritious.
Organic foods are produced without the use of chemical pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. They are grown naturally without artificial inputs such pesticides and herbicides. Crop rotation, cover crops and the use of compost animal manure, wastewater recycling, and integrated pest management (IPM) are some examples of organic farming.
In 2002, USDA National Organic Program was established. It regulates the handling, processing, labelling and sale of organic products within the United States. The NOP regulations ensure that organic agricultural products are produced according to federal standards outlined in the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Additionally, organic products must not contain prohibited substances like pesticide residues or genetically modified organisms.
Two types of certification programs are available in the United States for producers who wish to have their products labeled organic. One is for farmers and ranchers; one is for manufacturers. Both programs require an annual audit of the operations in order to confirm compliance with stringent standards. Many certifying agents offer this service, including CCOF Certified Organic Farmers & Ranchers (QA International), American Grassfed Association, and Quality Assurance International. The three organizations all provide verification by third parties that farms have followed strict guidelines for environmental stewardship as well as labour practices and the care of livestock.
According to USDA's Economic Research Service (ERS), organic agriculture accounted in 2013 for $4.7 Billion in sales. It was a 23 percent rise in retail spending for certified organic products since 2009. Groceries sales increased by 12 per cent during this time. Direct purchases of organic produce saw a 29 percent increase in spending, while seafood, meat, poultry and eggs experienced a 1 percent growth.
While organic food may be more expensive, consumers think its superior quality justifies the higher price. According to a 2015 survey conducted by Consumer Reports, 88 percent of respondents said they would pay more for organic food if it meant higher nutritional value. A Health Affairs study also found that organic food consumers are less likely to develop health problems such as diabetes, cancer, obesity, heart disease, depression, and other diseases.
While there is no evidence that organic food can prevent or treat any diseases, there are some studies suggesting that eating them may improve your overall health by reducing your exposure to pesticides and other contaminants. A review of 31 studies that were published in 2010 found that organically raised beef has significantly lower levels than conventionally raised beef. A separate analysis of 11 publications from 2012 produced similar results.
The Environmental Working Group produced a 2014 report that compared organic and non-organic chickens, pork, beef and lamb. The group also observed that E.coliO157 is a less prevalent cause of illness in humans among children than adults. This was because the USDA has imposed stricter organic standards on animals raised for human consumption.
