Frequently Asked Questions

Is organic meat more nutritious?

If you've been paying any attention, you likely already know the answer. But here's the rub, organic food is becoming more popular while conventional food continues to fall out of favour.

Organic foods continue to be popular because they offer a healthier alternative. In addition to being safer for our health, organic products also help the environment by reducing pollution and waste.

There are many sides to this coin. Organic produce takes longer and requires more resources. Organic food is generally more expensive than nonorganic.

Organic meats can be more expensive that those from conventionally raised animals. However, there are ways to reduce these costs without sacrificing quality.

One way to save money is to buy locally. Locally grown fruits and veggies help to lower prices because farmers get incentives to grow good crops.

Look for bargains to cut down on costs. There are often discounts offered when purchasing organics.

Consuming less meat is another way to save cash. Because of the amount of feed required to raise livestock, meat production can become expensive.

There are many reasons why organic food is better for our bodies and the planet, but we should be careful not to overlook the cost.

Is organic food healthier?

There are two types. One is those that we grow ourselves, and the other is those that we buy from someone else. There are exceptions to these categories, but most people will answer your question yes. Organic food is healthier because it doesn't contain any harmful chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, preservatives, or genetically modified organisms (GMO).

Organic food can be found in supermarkets throughout North America, Europe and Asia. Many grocery stores now sell organic food. This makes it easier for customers to select organic products.

Organic food has higher levels vitamins, minerals and antioxidants which makes it more delicious and nutritious. Organics are also grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, so they don't pollute our soils and water supplies.

The USDA regulates organic agriculture practices. This means that farmers must adhere to strict guidelines to make sure organic produce is safe to consume. There are over 30,000,000 acres of US agricultural land that has been certified organic.

Organic food is often cheaper than traditional food. For the same amount, consumers pay less. Organic farms can charge lower prices for their crops since they aren't required to pay for expensive chemical inputs such as insecticides or fungicides.

According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), organic food actually costs 10% less per pound. Switching to organic food is a smart move if you care about your health and that of your family.

Organic food is a popular choice to traditional American cuisines. Although many may think that organic food is only available at specialty markets and gourmet restaurants, this isn't true. Organic food is readily available at regular grocery stores all across the United States.

The sales of organic food have increased dramatically in recent years. The market value of organic food in the US was $43 billion in 2012, up from $21 billion in 2007.

What are the most popular organic products?

Organic food is the fastest-growing industry today. However, we still have a lot to learn from our roots.

Organic products are the future. They are safer, better for our environment, and more affordable for consumers.

But they also tend to be higher priced. This is why we created the Organic Food Index. We wanted the ability to identify which foods are currently most popular and whether these trends have changed.

The results show that organic food is becoming increasingly popular. Between 2011 and 2012 the number of Americans buying organic food increased nearly 50%.

The USDA reports that organic production increased 10% last year. Organic food now makes up 9% U.S. agriculture output.

Organic food is definitely on the rise, but it still seems expensive for consumers. The average retail price for organic food is almost twice that of conventional foods, according to the Organic Trade Association (OTA).

That said, organic food is growing faster than any other segment of the food sector. Looking closely at the data, you'll see that organic food consumption has grown steadily since 2009.

According to OTA the volume of organic products sold at supermarkets grew by 14% in 2010 and 2011.

This increase reflects consumer demand for healthier foods, which explains why organic food sales are increasing across all age groups.

Younger generations are also leading the way in organic food choices. Millennials are twice more likely to purchase organic food than baby boomers. Young adults below 35 years of age account for 25%.

Why is organic food so important?

Organic produce is vital for our health. It's the best method to ensure you eat healthy foods. Not only is it better for us, but it's also more environmentally friendly because it doesn't rely on pesticides and fertilizers.

Organic farming uses natural methods to grow crops without harmful chemicals. This makes organic farming safer for both humans and animals. Organic food is a way to help the environment and protect yourself.

But organic food offers more than just health benefits. We all know how unhealthy processed foods can make us 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.

Because of this, organic foods are so important. Organic food is not only healthier for you but also for the whole world.

How To

Organic food: Are they healthier and better for you?

Organic foods are produced without the use of chemical pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. They are grown under natural conditions without artificial inputs such as fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, hormones, antibiotics, or genetic engineering. Organic farming practices include crop rotation and cover crops, the composting of animal manure, the recycling of wastewater, as well as integrated pest management (IPM).

In 2002, the USDA National Organic Program (NOP), was established to regulate the sale, purchase, labelling, production, and distribution of organic products in the United States. NOP regulations assure that organic agricultural products comply with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Furthermore, the NOP rules require organic products to be free of banned substances such as pesticides residues and growth hormones.

For producers in the USA who want their products "organic", there are two kinds of certification programs: one for farmers or ranchers and one for manufacturers. Both programs require annual audits of operations to verify compliance with rigorous standards. Many certifying agents offer this service, including CCOF Certified Organic Farmers & Ranchers (QA International), American Grassfed Association, and Quality Assurance International. All three organizations provide third-party verification of farms' adherence to strict guidelines regarding environmental stewardship, labour practices, and livestock care.

The USDA's Economic Research Service estimates that organic agriculture was responsible for $4.7 billion of 2013 sales. That year, retail spending on certified organic products totalled nearly $1.5 billion, representing a 23 percent increase since 2009. Groceries sales increased by 12 per cent during this time. Spending directly on organic produce grew by 29 percent while that on meat, poultry, eggs and seafood only grew by 1 percent.

While organic food costs more, consumers say its quality justifies the added expense. 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. Health Affairs also reported that organic food intake is associated with fewer health problems, such as obesity, diabetes and heart disease.

Even though there is no evidence organic foods cause or treat diseases, some studies show that they can improve overall health by reducing pesticide and other contaminants exposure. 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.

According to a 2014 report by the Environmental Working Group, the incidence of foodborne disease caused by E.coli, salmonella or listeria monocytogenes, E. coli and E. coli O157H7 was lower when organic chicken, non-organic pork, beef, lamb and milk were compared. 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.
