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.

The way that an agricultural product is grown organically is what the term means. Organic farming, for example, uses natural methods and soil amendments in order to grow crops. Conventional farming, however, uses pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.

Organic foods must comply with strict guidelines set forth by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The National Organic Program Standards state that organic food must be freed from banned substances like antibiotics, growthhormones, genetically altered organisms (GMOs) and industrial solvents. Organic food must also be free from toxic chemicals, petroleum based fertilizers, sewage effluents and ionizing radiation.

What is organic?

Organic meat is organic food that has been grown naturally without the use of pesticides, artificial fertilizers or hormones. It also means that the animals weren't fed any genetically modified feed. The meat is safe to consume because it contains no harmful chemicals.

Organic meats are healthier for our environment. When we eat organic foods, we reduce the pollution in landfills, rivers, lakes, etc. We can also help wildlife by eating organic foods. Organic farmers do not often use toxic chemicals that can kill birds or insects.

It is best to buy organic meats locally as much as possible. Buying local helps keep more money circulating within the community rather than going out of state. Local businesses often pass on savings to customers shopping locally. Buy local to save jobs and not send them overseas.

Is organic meat more nutritious?

You probably know the answer if you have been paying attention for a while. However, the truth is organic food is gaining popularity at a time when conventional food is falling out of favor.

The reason why organic foods continue to rise in popularity is that they are healthier for us. Organic foods are also safer for our overall health and reduce pollution.

However, this coin has two sides. Organic produce takes more time to grow and requires greater resources. This means that organic food costs more money than its non-organic counterpart.

Organic meats tend to be more expensive than those raised conventionally. There are however ways to lower these costs without sacrificing the quality of organic meats.

Locally grown produce is a great way to save money. Buy locally grown vegetables and fruits to help keep prices low. Farmers receive incentives to grow healthier crops.

Another way to cut costs is to look for deals. Organics often come with discounts.

You can also save money by eating less meat. Meat production can be costly due to the feed needed to raise livestock.

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.

5 Reasons to buy organic products

Organic foods are grown without pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. They contain no genetically modified or irradiated food ingredients. Their production methods do not involve sewage sludge or industrial solvents. The food's natural environment is protected from contamination during its growth cycle. It is free of artificial preservatives and additives. There is no use of antibiotics or hormones. They are also made in conditions that maintain their nutritional value and freshness for longer times.

1. Health benefits. Organic produce contains fewer chemicals than nonorganic produce. This means that organic produce is less likely cause allergic reactions and sensitivities. It also means that you consume less toxic chemicals and carcinogens.
2. Eco-friendliness. Produce grown without pesticides and synthetic fertilizer requires very little water. Organic farms are often located far from areas with high levels of pollution because it takes so much energy for conventional agriculture 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. Soil health improves when farmers rotate crops and leave land fallow periodically. 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. Because it was picked while still unripe, organic produce is richer and more flavorful.
5. Nutrition. GMOs and BPA can be found in many processed foods. If you want to avoid these, stick to whole foods such as meat, eggs, fish, nuts, seeds, beans, fruit, veggies, and herbs.
