Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between organic foods and inorganic food?
Organic food is grown without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers, sewage effluent, radiation, or genetic modification. Organic farming practices contribute to soil health, water purity, and animal welfare.
Inorganic foods can be grown using pesticides, chemical fertilizers and sewage sludge. Radiation can be used to destroy food, while genetically modified organisms are created by biological engineering.
The term "natural", often used interchangeably to mean "organic," is frequently used. Natural does not always mean organic. You may also find products that are labeled as "natural", which could contain synthetic ingredients.
Organic produce is often more nutritious than conventional produce, as the soil has fewer pesticides and harmful chemicals. In addition, organic farmers do not use artificial fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics, or pesticides.
Why is organic produce important?
Organic produce is important for our health. Organic produce is the best way to eat healthy foods. It's healthier for us as well as more environmentally-friendly because it doesn’t rely on pesticides, fertilizers, or other chemicals.
Organic farming relies on natural methods to cultivate crops, without the use of harmful chemicals. This results in fewer environmental pollutants and makes organic farming safer. By choosing organic food, you are protecting the planet as well as yourself.
But organic food offers more than just health benefits. We all know how bad processed food can make us feel. You might not know this, but organic fruits and vegetables don't have to be treated with chemicals. It means that organic fruits, vegetables and other foods are fresher tasting, more vibrant and last longer.
This is why organic food is so important. Because it's not only healthy for you, it's healthier for the world.
What are organic foods?
Organic produce is grown without pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, irradiation, genetic engineering, or confinement feeding. No growth hormones or animal testing are done. These crops are allowed natural growth, so farmers don't use chemicals to kill pests and weeds.
Organic farming practices preserve soil quality and help conserve water resources. Organics are also better for your health as they contain more nutrients that conventional food. Organic products are more nutritious than conventionally grown foods and have lower calories and fiber.
How do I know if my produce is organic?
These three labels are essential if you want to be certain that you are purchasing organic produce.
USDA Organic Certified – Produced by USDA and certified as 100% organic.
Certified Naturally Grown – Produce that meets strict organic standards but has not received USDA certification.
Pastured/Freerange - Products made from animals who graze freely and are outdoors.
These labels signify that the product meets a specific set of criteria.
- No synthetic fertilizers or pesticides
- No genetically modified organisms
- No antibiotics are ever given to the animal
- Animals are not ever given hormones.
- There are no growth-promoting drugs
- No feed additives

How can you tell whether food is organic?
If you ask any chef, he'll tell you there's nothing more important than fresh ingredients. Because we feel better when we eat well.
This holds true for our food. Organics can be traced back to their source and whereabouts. It was not treated with harmful chemicals.
Organic foods are produced without using synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics, or genetically modified organisms (GMO). These substances are not allowed for organic farmers.
Growing organic crops is an art. There are plenty of ways to grow them safely.
Sustainable agriculture is sometimes called organic farming. This means that while it uses fewer resources than conventional methods, it provides the necessary nutrients to sustain life.
Organic farming practices include crop rotation, composting manure, cover cropping, and intercropping. These techniques help prevent soil erosion and improve water quality.
They also reduce chemical pollution of waterways. Local farms can be found in cities that raise organic produce.
There are two types certified programs for organic products. One is certified through the USDA National Organic Program and the other by independent certifying agents. Both require strict conformity to organic standards.
USDA seals, or O Seals, may be attached to certified organic products. These symbols indicate that the product meets federal requirements.
What are the top organic products?
The fastest-growing industry is organic food. Even though we have come a long ways from our roots there is still plenty of room for growth.
Organic products will be the future. Organic products are safer and better for the environment. They also make it more affordable for consumers.
They also tend to have higher prices. That is why we developed the Organic Food Index. We wanted to know which foods are popular today and whether trends are changing.
These results indicate that organic food is growing in popularity. Between 2011-2012, nearly half of Americans shopped for organic foods.
The USDA reported that organic production rose by 10% in the last year. Currently, organic food accounts for 9% in the U.S. agricultural production.
While organic food is certainly gaining ground, it seems that it is still an expensive choice for consumers. The Organic Trade Association (OTA) reports that organic food retail prices average almost double the price of conventional foods.
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 however, the volume in supermarkets of organic products grew by 14% from 2010 to 2011.
This is because of consumer demand for healthier products, which explains the rise in organic food sales across all age categories.
Younger generations are choosing organic food more often than older generations. Millennials are twice as likely than baby boomers to buy organic foods. Young adults aged below 35 account for 25%.

How To
Are there downsides to buying organic products?
Organic food has many benefits. However, organic foods have their drawbacks. These include higher consumer price, lower quality standards, fewer options, and fewer choice.
There is nothing wrong with wanting more variety in groceries. But we've been conditioned to expect cheap foods that taste awful. It's because most grocery stores carry identical prepackaged food.
Organic food is increasingly becoming popular, thanks to the fact that it has better nutrition and tastes amazing. So how do you convince people it's worth paying a little extra?
But you could still tell them that organic foods are more expensive. This doesn't necessarily mean organic food tastes better. This might make them suspicious about your motives.
Instead, highlight its strengths. Organic food is more nutritious and has fewer pesticides or antibiotics. It's also grown without synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, so it's better for the environment and us.
Many people turn down organic food simply because it is too costly. But as long as they consider the health benefits, they may decide that spending a few dollars per week is worth it.
Organic food tastes great because it is made according to strict guidelines. It tends also to retain more vitamins and minerals.
Organic food is also better for you because it's picked later. This makes organic food fresher and easier for you to digest.
Finally, organic food is generally cheaper because farmers grow it organically, which requires less labour and fertilizer.
