How To
What Organic Foods Are You Looking For?
Organic foods are those that come from plants or animals, and do not contain any chemical pesticides, fertilizers, or additives. They are not subject to genetic engineering or the use of ionizing radioactive radiation. No artificial colourings, flavour enhancers, preservatives, or colourings must be used in the food. It must not contain genetically altered organisms (GMOs).
In 1845, Justus von Liebig, a chemist, first coined the term "organic", meaning "life-giving", to describe the properties and characteristics of manure. Today, organic is synonymous with food production. Organic means the product has only natural substances like proteins, carbohydrates, and fats that are found in nature.
The global consumption of organic products has increased dramatically over the past decade. According to recent statistics, around 50% of the world's population consumes at least one organic product daily. This number increases constantly and is expected to reach 70%, 80%, and 90% by 2020.
There are many reasons consumers choose organic products. Some like the taste, others prefer them because they believe organic produce is healthier, while some think organic farming is more environmentally friendly. However, there are also ethical concerns regarding the treatment of farm workers and animals, which is why some consumers opt for non-organic products.
While organic food is generally more expensive than traditional foods, prices do vary depending upon where you live. There are different factors influencing the price of organic food. One factor is the availability of land suitable for organic agriculture. Another factor is the price of inputs as well as labour for organic farming. Transportation costs, marketing expenses, and taxes are all factors. For example, in Europe, the average price of organic food is 10% higher than the regular price.
