Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most loved organic products?

Today organic food is the fastest-growing sector. We've come far from our roots but there is still room for improvement.

Organic products are the future. They are safer, better for our environment, and more affordable for consumers.

They are also generally more expensive. This is why we created the Organic Food Index. We wanted the ability to identify which foods are currently most popular and whether these trends have changed.

The results of the study show that organic food has become more popular. Between 2011 and 2012 the number of Americans buying organic food increased nearly 50%.

According to USDA, organic food production increased by 10% only last year. The U.S. now produces 9% of its agricultural output from organic food.

Organic food is definitely on the rise, but it still seems expensive for consumers. The average retail price for organic food is almost twice that of conventional foods, according to the Organic Trade Association (OTA).

However, organic food is growing more quickly than any other part of the food market. You'll notice that organic food consumption has increased steadily since 2009.

In fact, according to OTA, the volume of organic products sold in supermarkets grew by 14% between 2010 and 2011.

This is because of consumer demand for healthier products, which explains the rise in organic food sales across all age categories.

However, younger generations are leading the charge when choosing organic food. Millennials have twice the likelihood of buying organic food as baby boomers. Young adults aged below 35 account for 25%.

Is organic meat more nutritious?

If you've been paying attention for any time, you probably already know the answer to this question. But here's the rub, organic food is becoming more popular while conventional food continues to fall out of favour.

Organic foods are more appealing because they are healthier. Organic products are healthier for us and the environment.

But there are two sides to this coin. Organic produce is more difficult to grow and takes more resources. This means organic food will cost more than its non-organic counterpart.

Organic meats will typically be more expensive than those that are raised in conventional conditions. However, there are ways to reduce these costs without sacrificing quality.

Locally grown produce is a great way to save money. Buying locally grown fruits and vegetables helps keep prices low because farmers receive incentives to grow healthy crops.

A great way to save money is to search for deals. There are often discounts offered when purchasing organics.

A third way to save money on meat consumption is to eat less. Meat production can be costly due to the feed needed to raise livestock.

Organic food is healthier for the planet and our bodies than conventional food, but it's important to not overlook its cost.

How do you determine if food has been grown organically?

Ask any chef and he will tell you that fresh ingredients are the most important thing. That's because when we eat well, we feel better.

The same is true of our food. When we buy organics, we know exactly where it came from and how it was grown. We also know it was not treated using harmful chemicals.

Organic foods are made without the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, hormones, steroids, antibiotics, or genetically altered organisms (GMO). These substances aren't permitted for organic farmers.

Organic farming doesn't have to be difficult. There are many methods to safely grow them.

Sustainable agriculture is also known as 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 rotations and cover crops, manure composting, intercropping, and cover cropping. These practices help to prevent soil erosion and improve water purity.

They also reduce chemical pollution of waterways. Since most of us live in urban areas, we can find local farms that raise organic produce.

Two types of organic product certification programs exist. One is certified by the USDA National Organic Program, and the other is certified by independent certifying agencies. Both require strict organic standards to be adhered to.

USDA seals and O Seals may be used to identify organic products that meet federal standards.

Are organic foods healthy?

There are two types: foods that we grow and those that we purchase from others. There are exceptions to these categories, but most people will answer your question yes. Organic food is healthier than conventional food because it doesn’t contain harmful chemicals, pesticides or herbicides. It also doesn’t contain preservatives or genetically modified organisms.

You can find organic food in supermarkets across North America, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Most grocery stores now carry organic food, making it easier for consumers to choose organic products.

Organic food is healthier and tastes better because it contains more vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other nutrients. Organics are often grown without pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. This means that they do not pollute the soil and water sources.

The USDA regulates organic farming practices. It requires that farmers follow strict guidelines in order to ensure organic produce is safe for consumption. There are currently more than 30,000,000 acres of US farmland which have been designated organic.

Organic food can often be cheaper than conventional food. Consumers are paying less for the same amount of calories, protein, and nutrients. Organic farms are free to charge less for their crops, as they don't need to pay expensive chemical inputs such insecticides orfungicides.

According to Environmental Working Group, organic food can be 10 percent cheaper per pound when compared to conventionally produced food. You can make a change to organic food if your family is concerned about their health.

Organic food is becoming a popular option to the standard American diet. Organic food is not only available in gourmet restaurants and specialty markets, as many people may believe. Organic food can be purchased in most grocery stores across the United States.

Recent years have seen a significant increase in organic food sales. In 2012, the US market value for organic food was $43 Billion. This is an increase of $21 Billion from 2007.

What's the difference?

Organic food is free from pesticides, chemical fertilizers and sewage sludge. It can also be grown without irradiation or genetic modification. Organic farming practices promote soil health, water quality and animal welfare.

Inorganic foods can be grown using pesticides, chemical fertilizers and sewage sludge. Irradiated foods are treated with radiation; genetically modified organisms (GMO) are created through biological engineering techniques.

Sometimes, the term "natural", is used interchangeably with "organic." However, natural does not necessarily mean organic. You may also find products that are labeled as "natural", which could contain synthetic ingredients.

Because organic produce contains fewer harmful chemicals, pesticides, and fertilizers than conventional produce it is more nutritious. In addition, organic farmers do not use artificial fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics, or pesticides.

What Organic Foods Are You Looking For?

Organic foods are plants and animals grown without pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or additives. They are not subject to genetic engineering or the use of ionizing radioactive radiation. The food must not contain artificial flavours, colours, flavour enhancements, or preservatives. It cannot contain genetically modified organisms.

The term "organic" was first used in 1845 when chemist Justus von Liebig coined the word "organisch" meaning life-giving, to describe the properties of manure. Today, organic is synonymous with food production. Organic simply means the product is made from only naturally occurring substances such proteins, carbohydrate, and minerals.

Globally, organic product consumption has increased significantly over the last decade. According to recent statistics, around 50% of the world's population consumes at least one organic product daily. This percentage continues to rise and is projected to increase by 70%, 80%, or 90% by 2020.

There are many reasons why consumers choose organic products. Some consumers prefer organic products for the taste. Other people prefer them because organic produce is more nutritious. Still others believe organic farming is better for the environment. Non-organic products are often chosen because they do not pose ethical issues regarding the treatment of farm workers or animals.

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 land suitable for organic agricultural. Another is the cost of inputs and labour needed for organic cultivation. There are other factors such as transportation costs, marketing and taxes. For example, in Europe, the average price of organic food is 10% higher than the regular price.
