Frequently Asked Questions
Are there health benefits to eating organic food?
While organic foods may not be suitable for everyone's health, they are healthy for some people. But for those who eat them regularly, there are definite health benefits.
Organic food is free from artificial fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides as well as hormones, antibiotics and genetic engineering. This means that organic produce is grown without harmful chemicals that could harm human health.
Also, there are fewer additives that are used in processing. Organic products are more nutritious than those made from non-organic ingredients.
Studies have shown that organic fruits and vegetables contain more nutrients than those grown conventionally.
Although organic farming methods tend to cost more than conventional farming methods, they often yield better results. When farmers grow crops organically, they encourage soil fertility and biodiversity.
This helps protect against erosion and conserve water resources. Organic farms do not require toxic chemicals to operate. They also use less energy and fuel.
Many people are concerned that organic food is more expensive than regular foods. However, prices will vary depending on where one lives. Organic apples, on the other hand, tend to be more expensive that conventional apples.
But if you look at the total price of a basket of both types of fruit, you'll see that buying organic is cheaper.
So, should you buy organic?
It depends on what kind of person you are. If organic food doesn't appeal to you, you shouldn't bother.
However, if you enjoy good-tasting food, you can buy organic food. Organic foods are safer than conventional food because they don't contain chemical pesticides or fertilizers.
Organic agriculture conserves the environment and promotes biodiversity.
What are organic foods?
Organic produce is produced without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. There are no growth hormones used and animal testing is not performed. These crops can naturally grow, so no chemicals are used by farmers to combat pests or weeds.
Organic farming practices also maintain soil quality by reducing erosion and conserving water resources. In addition, organics are better for our health because they contain more nutrients than conventional food. Organic foods are often higher in fiber, lower in fat, and less calories than those produced conventionally.
What are the most loved organic products?
Today, organic foods are the fastest-growing industries. Even though we have come a long ways from our roots there is still plenty of room for growth.
Organic products are the future. They are safer and more cost-effective for consumers.
They also tend to have higher prices. That's 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.
The results of the study show that organic food has become more popular. The number of Americans shopping for organic food grew by nearly 50% between 2011 and 2012.
The USDA reports that organic production increased 10% last year. The U.S. now produces 9% of its agricultural output from organic food.
Organic food is growing in popularity but is still expensive. According to the Organic Trade Association (OTA), average retail prices for organic food are almost double those of conventional alternatives.
The organic food sector is growing faster than other segments of the food supply. 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 is because of consumer demand for healthier products, which explains the rise in organic food sales across all age categories.
Younger generations are also leading the way in organic food choices. Millennials are twice as likely to buy organic food compared to baby boomers. The 25% of organic food purchase made by younger adults below 35 are made up of young adults.
What is organic meat?
Organic meat is organic food that has been grown naturally without the use of pesticides, artificial fertilizers or hormones. It also means the animals were not fed any genetically modified foods. This makes it safe for human consumption because there aren't any harmful chemicals in the meat.
Organic meats are also better for our environment. We reduce the amount of pollution in our rivers, lakes, and landfills by eating organic food. We can also help wildlife by eating organic foods. Organic farmers do not often use toxic chemicals that can kill birds or insects.
It is best to buy organic meats locally as much as possible. Local purchasing helps keep money local, not out of the state. Local businesses often pass along savings to customers when shopping locally. In addition, buying local keeps jobs right here in America instead of sending them overseas.
How do you know if your 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.
The same goes for our food. Organics can be traced back to their source and whereabouts. It was not treated with harmful chemicals.
Organic food is produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. These substances are forbidden for organic farmers.
Growing organic crops is an art. There are many methods to safely grow them.
Organic farming is often called sustainable agriculture. 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 reduce soil erosion and increase water quality.
They reduce chemical runoff from waterways. We can also find organic farms in our urban surroundings.
There are two types for organic products certification. One is certified under the USDA National Organic Program. The other is certified independently by certifying authorities. Both require strict organic standards to be adhered to.
Certified organic products may bear the USDA seal or the symbol O Seal, which indicates that the product meets federal requirements.

How To
What happens when you switch from conventional products to organic?
Organic products are produced without the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. They come from clean water sources, and are raised on free-range animals. The term "organic", which means they don't contain additives or chemicals, refers to their non-containing any. This product was naturally produced and contains no harmful chemicals.
Natural means how food is grown. It's usually used to describe foods not processed into their final form (such as fruits). Natural foods are usually fresher than processed foods, as they haven’t been exposed to heat, radiation, chemical preservatives, or other treatments. Some people don't believe that natural means healthy. Experts believe there is no difference in organic and conventional food. Both types can be tested for safety and quality. Organic produce contains fewer pesticide and other pollutants than conventionally-grown produce.
Most grocery stores offer organic options. For organic meats, poultry, eggs and seafood, you should check with your local supermarket. Some companies only sell organic products. Others have separate sections. USDA Certified Organic is a non-GMO Project Verified company.
These foods should be avoided by women who are pregnant or breast-feeding. Unborn babies and infants can be affected by pesticides.
