Frequently Asked Questions
Which organic products are most in demand?
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 are the future. Organic products are safer, more sustainable, and cheaper for consumers.
But they also tend to be higher priced. This is why we created the Organic Food Index. We wanted to find out which foods are most popular with shoppers today, and whether these trends are changing.
These findings show that organic foods are becoming more popular. Between 2011-2012, nearly half of Americans shopped for organic foods.
According to the USDA, organic production increased by 10% last year alone. Organic food now accounts for 9% of U.S. agricultural output.
Organic food is certainly on the rise but consumers are still not able to afford it. According to the Organic Trade Association, (OTA), organic food retail prices are nearly twice as expensive than conventional options.
Despite this, organic food is growing at a faster rate than any other food segment. You can see that organic food has been steadily increasing since 2009.
According to OTA's data, organic products sold in supermarkets grew at 14% between 2010 - 2011.
This increase reflects consumer demand for healthier foods, which explains why organic food sales are increasing across all age groups.
The younger generation is however leading the charge for organic food. Millennials are twice as likely to buy organic food compared to baby boomers. And young adults under 35 years old account for 25% of all organic food purchases.
Organic meat is better
This question is probably answered if you've been paying close attention. The problem is that organic food is increasingly popular, but conventional food continues its decline.
Organic foods continue rising in popularity because they are healthier. Organic foods are safer for our bodies and help to reduce pollution.
However, there are also two sides to this coin. Organic produce takes longer and requires more resources. Organic food is generally more expensive than nonorganic.
Organic meats tend to be more expensive than those raised conventionally. But, you can reduce the cost of organic meats without compromising quality.
Locally grown produce is a great way to save money. Locally grown fruits and veggies help to lower prices because farmers get incentives to grow good crops.
A great way to save money is to search for deals. When you purchase organics, there are often discounts.
Another way to save money? Eat less meat. Due to the cost of raising livestock, meat production can be expensive.
There are many reasons that organic food is better than regular food for our bodies, and also for the planet. However, it is important to remember the price.
Is organic a guarantee that the product is pesticide-free
Organic food is chemical-free and grown without pesticides. This means there is little or no exposure to chemicals such as fertilizers and herbicides.
Because organic produce is free of harmful additives, it also has more nutrients than conventionally grown foods.
The USDA National Organic Program requires that organic farming practices be followed by farmers.
These guidelines include soil preparation, crop rotating, pest control and water conservation.
Organic farming methods are also beneficial for wildlife and natural habitats.
What is organic meat?
Organic meat refers to real food grown without the use artificial fertilizers, pesticides, or hormones. Organic meat also indicates that animals were not fed genetically modified food. Because there are no harmful chemicals in the meat, it is safe for human consumption.
Organic meats are better for the environment. Organic foods reduce pollution in rivers, lakes and landfills. We can also help wildlife by eating organic foods. Organic farmers do not often use toxic chemicals that can kill birds or insects.
You can eat organic meats and produce whenever you can. Local purchases help keep more money within the community than traveling out of state. Local businesses often pass along savings to customers when shopping locally. Shopping locally helps to keep American workers employed, as opposed to sending them overseas.
What should I look out for when buying organic products?
USDA-certified organic label are desirable. This certification means that the product is certified organic by USDA. On packages, boxes, cartons or cans, look out for the USDA Organic seal.
When shopping for meat ensure it comes only from cows that are fed 100% organic feed. Cattle are ruminants, which means they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle have four stomach areas: rumen (reticulum), omasum (omasum), and abomasum. All parts of an animal must be organically fed if the cow is going to be labelled '100% organic.'
When buying chicken, make sure it comes only from chickens fed 100% organic feed and never given antibiotics. Chickens can eat both animal and plant food. The digestive tract of an omnivorous chicken is composed of a crop and proventriculus, gizzard as well as small intestine, large intestinale, and anus.
When buying dairy products, ensure they come from cows fed 100% organically grown feed. Like ruminants, dairy cattle have four stomachs. Milk comes from the fourth stomach compartment--the udder.
Check the label when purchasing livestock of any other type to find out what percentage was used in the animal's diet. For example, pork may be labelled '95% organic.' This means 95 percent of the pig's feed came from organic sources.

How To
How to buy organic meat even on a tight budget
This post will share some tips and tricks to help you buy organic meat without breaking the bank.
Here are my tips for finding cheap organic meats. I'll also tell you how much each pound costs. This will teach you how to get the most out of your purchase.
You don't need to spend a lot of money to eat healthily. Sometimes creativity is required to make money while still eating healthy. Here are my top tips for keeping food costs down and still enjoying the many benefits of organic meat.
- Buy bulk food at wholesale clubs. Sams Club and Costco both offer great options for buying bulk foods like pork chops and chicken breasts. You may be able to get large quantities of meat for as low as 50 pounds if your home is near one of these stores. This way, you won't waste any meat. It's also possible to freeze meat purchased in bulk so that it lasts longer.
- Look online to save money on meat. For example, Amazon has a weekly deal called Prime Pantry, which includes free shipping on orders over $35. You can get discounts on ground beef, beef roasts, lamb steaks and pork loins. It's easy to browse their website and see what's available at different times.
- Local farmers often charge less than big box retailers due to the fact that they don't have large overheads for stocking their shelves. Local farmers also know exactly what their animals have eaten and drank so they can determine what's in their bodies.
- Look for meat cuts that are leanest - Lean meat is generally cheaper to cook than fatty meat. Therefore, choose the leanest cuts. These include sirloin, tenderloin, top round, flank, and top-round steaks. These cuts have high protein and low fat.
- Try new recipes - Don't be afraid to try new things! You can cut down on your grocery costs by starting to cook with ingredients you don't have before. You'll be surprised at how many delicious dishes can you create using fresh tomatoes.
- Use leftovers to create new recipes. You can make quick meals or lunches from leftover meat.
So, there you are! These are my top tips for how to get organic meat on a tight budget. Do you have any other tips? Any other suggestions?
