Which organic products are most in demand?
The fastest-growing industry is organic food. We've come far from our roots but there is still room for improvement.
Organic products are the future. Organic products are safer and better for the environment. They also make it more affordable for consumers.
But they tend to be more expensive. This is why we created the Organic Food Index. We wanted to know which foods are popular today and whether 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%.
The USDA reports that organic production increased 10% last year. Organic food now accounts for 9% of U.S. agricultural output.
Although organic food is gaining popularity, it appears that consumers still have to pay a premium for it. According to the Organic Trade Association (OTA), average retail prices for organic food are almost double those of conventional alternatives.
Organic food is growing faster that any other sector of the food industry. You can see that organic food has been steadily increasing since 2009.
According to OTA however, the volume in supermarkets of organic products grew by 14% from 2010 to 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 more likely to purchase organic food than baby boomers. Young adults below 35 years of age account for 25%.
Why should you buy organic?
Conventional agriculture has been linked with many health problems including asthma, allergies. When buying food, you must make wise choices.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG), offers these tips to help you choose "cleaner" foods:
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 are labeled "natural" or "no added ingredients."
Always read the ingredient lists. If an ingredient isn’t listed, it might be added during processing.
Choose fresh meats over frozen or canned ones. Many frozen and canned foods contain less nutrients, like high fructose Corn Syrup.
What are organic foods and how do they compare?
Organic produce is free from synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, sewage sludge and confinement feeding. No growth hormones are used, and there is no animal testing. These crops can grow naturally so that farmers don't have to use pesticides or weed control.
Organic farming methods also help to preserve soil quality, reduce erosion, and conserve water resources. Organics have more nutrients than traditional food, which makes them better for our health. Organic products tend to be higher in fiber and lower fat than conventionally produced foods.
What are the health benefits of organic foods?
Organic foods may not be healthy for everyone. For those who consume them regularly, however, they can offer certain health benefits.
Organic food does not contain artificial fertilizers or pesticides. It also doesn't contain fungicides. Organic produce is free from harmful chemicals that could cause harm to human health.
Additionally, organic products are less likely to contain additives during processing. So when you buy an organic product, you're likely eating healthier than non-organic products.
Research shows that organic produce contains more nutrients and antioxidants compared to conventionally grown fruit and vegetables.
Although organic farming methods tend to cost more than conventional farming methods, they often yield better results. Organic farming encourages soil fertility and 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 worry that organic foods are more expensive than conventional ones. However, prices vary depending on where you live. For example, organic apples tend to be more expensive than traditional 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.

They found that organic apples contained eight times fewer pesticides than non-organic apples, while organic strawberries were four times cleaner than their conventional counterparts.
Another study suggests that organic food can reduce exposure to toxic metals such as lead and mercury. A study concluded that children who ate organic meat had 33% lower levels of blood lead than those who didn’t. Another study concluded conventional fish consumption should be stopped by pregnant women because it contains high levels of mercury.
Organic food tends to be healthier than nonorganic. Experts recommend that you choose fresh fruits and vegetables whenever possible to lower your chance of developing cancer or other diseases.
Statistics
- Nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids were up to 50 percent higher in organic meats and milk than in conventionally raised products.[3] (en.wikipedia.org)
- As for organic meat, regulations require that animals be raised in living conditions that accommodate their natural behaviours (like the ability to graze on pasture), fed 100% organic feed and forage, and not administered antibiotics or hormones. (usda.gov)
- Brands participating in this challenge are committed to using 100 percent sustainable cotton by 2025.[5] (en.wikipedia.org)
- According to a study performed by consumerreports.org, organic products, compared to non-organic products, ranged anywhere from 13 percent cheaper to 303 percent more expensive. (en.wikipedia.org)

How To
Organic foods: Are organic foods healthier?
Organic food is produced without chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. They are grown in natural conditions and without the use of any artificial inputs like fungicides or herbicides. 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).
The USDA National Organic Program (NOP), established in 2002 to regulate production, handling and processing of organic products sold in the United States. NOP regulations ensure organic agricultural products conform to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The NOP regulations also require that organic products are free of prohibited substances such as pesticide residues and genetically modified organisms.
In the U.S., there are two types of certification programs available for producers who want their products labelled "organic": one for farmers and ranchers and another for manufacturers. Both programs require audits of operations each year to ensure that they are meeting strict standards. There are several certifying organizations that offer these services. These include the CCOF Certified Organic Farmers & Ranchers as well as Quality Assurance International and the American Grassfed Association. Each of these organizations provides third-party verification to verify that farms are following strict guidelines in regards to environmental stewardship, labour practices and care for livestock.
According to USDA's Economic Research Service in 2013, organic agriculture generated $4.7 billion in revenue. The retail spending on organic products accounted for nearly $1.5 billion in 2013, a 23 percent increase over 2009. Groceries sales increased by 12 per cent during this time. Spending on organic produce directly increased by 29.9%, while meat, poultry eggs, and seafood spending grew only by 1%.
While organic food costs more, consumers say its quality justifies the added expense. Consumer Reports conducted a 2015 survey and found that 88% would pay more if organic food had better nutritional value. Another study published in Health Affairs found that people who eat organic foods are less likely to suffer health problems like cancer, diabetes, obesity, asthma, heart disease, and depression.
Although there is no evidence eating organic foods prevents or treats any diseases, some studies suggest that consuming them might improve overall health by reducing exposure to specific contaminants and pesticides. 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 eleven studies published in 2012 led to similar conclusions.
A 2014 report from the Environmental Working Group looked at data from the Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Resource Center and found that the incidence of foodborne illness caused by E. coli, salmonella, listeria monocytogenes, campylobacter, and verotoxin-producing E. coli O157:H7 decreased when comparing organic to non-organic chicken, pork, beef, lamb, milk, and cheese. The Environmental Working Group also found that E.coli O157 has been associated with fewer human illnesses in children and adults since 2006, when USDA began requiring stricter organic standards for animal production.
