Frequently Asked Questions
What are the health benefits of organic foods?
While organic foods may not be suitable for everyone's health, they are healthy for some people. However, regular consumption of organic foods can have health benefits.
Organic food is made without pesticides or herbicides, hormones or genetic engineering. Organic produce does not contain harmful chemicals that could be harmful to the human body.
The use of additives in the processing process is also less common. Organic products are more nutritious than those made from non-organic ingredients.
Studies have shown that organic foods are more nutritious and rich in antioxidants than fruits and veggies grown from conventional sources.
Even though organic farming methods can be more costly than conventional farming methods they are often more productive. Organic farming encourages soil fertility and biodiversity.
This helps conserve water resources and protects against erosion. Organic farms don't use toxic chemicals and require less fuel and energy.
People worry that organic foods will be more expensive than those made from conventional food. Prices can vary depending on where you live. Organic apples, for example, are more expensive than regular apples.
However, organic fruit is more affordable if you compare the price of a basket of both types.
Do you want to go organic?
It depends on what kind of person you are. Organic food is not for you if you don’t like it.
However, if you enjoy good-tasting food, you can buy organic food. Organic food is safer because organic produce is not grown by commercial growers who use pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
Organic agriculture protects our environment by conserving natural resources and promoting biodiversity.
What are my top priorities when buying organic products
Look for USDA-certified organic labels. This seal signifies that the product meets specific USDA standards. On packages, boxes, cartons or cans, look out for the USDA Organic seal.
When purchasing meat, ensure it is 100% organic. Ruminants are cattle that chew their cud. Ruminant cattle have four stomach areas: rumen (reticulum), omasum (omasum), and abomasum. If the cow is to be labeled "100% organic", all of its parts must have been organically fed.
Buy chicken from only organic chickens that have been fed 100% organic food and are not given antibiotics. Chickens are omnivores. This means they can eat both plant and animal food. Omnivorous chickens have a digestive system that includes a crop (proventriculus), gizzard and small intestine.
When buying dairy products, ensure they come from cows fed 100% organically grown feed. Just like ruminants have four stomachs, dairy cows have four. Milk comes from the fourth stomach compartment--the udder.
If you are buying other types of livestock, make sure to check the label to determine the percentage of their diet. Pork may be labeled "95% Organic" which means that 95 percent of its feed was organic.
What are the benefits to organic farming?
Organic farming provides farmers with a way of producing food without using chemicals. Organic farming is a way for farmers to produce food without using harmful pesticides.
Organic farming also offers more natural fertilizers. These fertilizers are good for plants that are healthy and reduce chemical waste.
Organic farming is also environmentally friendly. For example, organic farming uses composting techniques to re-use nutrients in the soil. This helps to reduce pollution and conserve valuable resources.
Organic farming is good for the environment and increases crop yields. This is due to the fact that organic farming uses much less water during growth season.
Organic production methods mean farmers can get higher prices. Consumers who become more aware of the dangers of pesticides and chemical fertilizers demand healthier foods.
This has increased the demand for organic foods. Organic farming is becoming more popular because of this.
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)
- 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)
- When packaged products indicate they are “made with organic [specific ingredient or food group],” they contain at least 70% organically produced ingredients. (usda.gov)
- 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)

How To
5 Reasons You Should Buy Organic Products
Organic foods are grown without pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. They are free from genetically modified organisms and irradiated substances. Their production processes do not include sewage or industrial solvents. During the course of its growth cycle, the natural environment of the food is protected from contamination. It is completely free from artificial preservatives, additives, and other harmful chemicals. There are no hormones and antibiotics used. They are also grown in conditions that ensure they retain their nutritional value for longer periods of time.
- Health benefits. Nonorganic produce is more chemically-laden than organic. This makes it less likely to cause allergies or sensitivities. It also means that you consume less toxic chemicals and carcinogens.
- Eco-friendliness. Produce grown without synthetic fertilizer and pesticides requires very little water. Organic farms are located far from cities where there is a lot of pollution, because they require so much energy to grow. This helps to reduce air pollution.
- Sustainability. Organic farming relies on soil fertility, rather than chemical fertilisers. This results in healthier soils and higher levels organic matter. Rotating crops and allowing the soil to rest between harvests improves soil health. Strong immune systems develop when farm animals are fed only grasses grown without antibiotics or added hormones.
- Taste. Traditional fruits and vegetables are often bland due to the fact that they are picked at peak ripeness and shipped long distances for grocery stores. Organic produce tastes richer and sweeter because it was harvested while still unripe.
- Nutrition. Many conventional processed foods contain harmful substances like BPA and GMOs. Avoid these harmful chemicals by eating whole foods, such as meat, eggs and fish, seeds, legumes, fruits, vegetables, herbs, and beans.
