Frequently Asked Questions
Is organic food healthy?
There are two types of foods; those we grow ourselves and those we buy from someone else. There are exceptions, but the majority of the time, both options will be available. Organic food is healthier since it doesn't include any harmful chemicals.
Organic food can be found in supermarkets throughout North America, Europe and Asia. Organic food is now available in most grocery stores, making it easier to find organic foods.
Organic food is better tasting and healthier because it contains more vitamins and minerals. Organics can be grown without pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. This ensures that organics do not pollute our soil or water supply.
Organic farming is regulated by the USDA. Farmers must follow strict guidelines to ensure safe eating. There are over 30 million acres of US organic farmland.
As an added benefit, organic food is often much cheaper than conventional food. Customers pay less for the same amount in calories, protein and nutrients. Organic farms don't have the expense of expensive chemical inputs, such as insecticides and/or fungicides. They can charge lower prices.
According to the Environmental Working Group Organic food is actually 10 percent more expensive per pound than conventionally grown food. Switching to organic food is a smart move if you care about your health and that of your family.
Organic food has been a popular alternative for standard American diets. It is often believed that organic food is exclusive to specialty markets and gourmet restaurants. Organic food is readily available at regular grocery stores all across the United States.
Recent years have seen a significant increase in organic food sales. In the US, organic food sales reached $43Billion in 2012, an increase of $21Billion in 2007.
What are some of the benefits of organic agriculture?
Organic farming provides farmers with a way of producing food without using chemicals. Farmers do not need to worry about harmful pesticides harming their crops or animals.
Organic farming also allows for more natural fertilizers. These fertilizers help to grow healthy plants and help to reduce the amount of chemical waste produced.
Organic farming is also sustainable. Farmers often use composting techniques to recycle nutrients back into the soil. This reduces pollutants and conserves precious resources.
Organic farming also helps the environment by increasing crop yields. This is due to the fact that organic farming uses much less water during growth season.
Organic production methods also mean that farmers receive higher prices for their produce. Healthier foods are demanded by consumers who are more aware of the dangers posed by pesticides and chemical fertilisers.
This raises the demand to produce organic food products. Organic farming has become increasingly popular.
What are some things I should look out for when purchasing organic goods?
USDA-certified organic label are desirable. This guarantees that the product meets certain USDA standards. On packages, boxes, cartons or cans, look out for the USDA Organic seal.
When buying meat, make sure it is from organically fed cows. Cattle are ruminants, which means they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle can be found with four stomach compartments: the rumen, the reticulum, omasum, abomasum and omasum. To be labeled '100% organic, all animal parts must be organically nourished.
Make sure you only buy chicken from chicken farms that are fed organically and have never been given antibiotics. Chickens are omnivores. This means they can eat both plant and animal food. Omnivorous chickens have a digestive tract composed of a crop, proventriculus, gizzard, small intestine, large intestine, and anus.
When buying dairy products, ensure they come from cows fed 100% organically grown feed. Like ruminants, dairy cattle have four stomachs. The fourth stomach compartment, the udder, is where milk comes from.
If you are buying other types of livestock, make sure to check the label to determine the percentage of their diet. For example, pork may be labelled '95% organic.' This means 95 percent of the pig's feed came from organic sources.
How can I tell if my produce has been certified organic?
These are the labels you should look for to ensure you are purchasing organic produce
USDA Organic Certified - Produce certified by the USDA as being 100% organic.
Certified Naturally Grown: Produce that has been grown in accordance with organic practices, but has yet to receive certification from USDA.

These labels signify that the product meets a specific set of criteria.
- No synthetic fertilizers or pesticides
- No genetically modified organisms
- Animals are not given antibiotics.
- Animals are not ever given hormones.
- No growth-promoting drugs
- No feed additives
- No artificial ingredients
- No irradiation

Why should organic be my first choice?
There have been many health problems linked to conventional farming, including allergies, asthma, diabetes, obesity, cancer, birth defects and hormone imbalances. You must make healthy choices when buying food.
The Environmental Working Group offers these tips:
Always buy organic fruits & vegetables.
USDA organic labels for meat, poultry eggs, milk and cheese as well butter and honey are recommended.
Avoid processed foods that are labeled "natural" or "no added ingredients."
Be sure to read all ingredient labels. It is possible to add an ingredient during processing if it isn't already listed.
Choose fresh meats over frozen or canned ones. Canned and frozen foods can often have lower nutritional content like high fructose syrup.

How To
What Organic Foods Are You Looking For?
Organic foods are made from animals and plants without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. They are produced without genetic engineering or the application of ionizing radiation. The food must not contain artificial flavours, colours, flavour enhancements, or preservatives. It cannot contain genetically modified organisms.
The term "organic", as it is commonly known, was first used by Justus von Loig in 1845. He coined the phrase "organisch", which means life-giving, to describe manure's properties. Most people associate organic production with food. In this context, organic means that the product contains only naturally occurring substances such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and minerals that occur in nature.
Globally, organic product consumption has increased significantly over the last decade. Recent statistics indicate that approximately half of the world’s population eats at least one organic food per day. This number is rising and is expected increase to 70%, 90%, and 80% by 2020.
There are many reasons consumers choose organic products. Organic produce can be preferred for its taste; others prefer them for being healthier. Some people believe organic farming to be more environmentally friendly. There are ethical concerns regarding farm workers and animals. This is why some people choose organic products.
Although organic foods tend to be more expensive than regular ones, prices can vary depending on where they are located. There are different factors influencing the price of organic food. The availability of suitable land for organic agriculture is one factor. Another factor is the price of inputs as well as labour for organic farming. The cost of transportation, marketing, and taxes are just a few other factors. The average European price for organic food is 10% lower than the regular price.
