Frequently Asked Questions

How do you determine if food has been grown organically?

If you ask any chef, he'll tell you there's nothing more important than fresh ingredients. This is because eating well makes us feel better.

The same applies to our food. When we buy organics, we know exactly where it came from and how it was grown. We also know that it wasn't treated with harmful chemicals.

Organic food is produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. These substances are forbidden for organic farmers.

Organic farming doesn't have to be difficult. There are many ways to safely grow organic crops.

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 rotation, composting manure, cover cropping, and intercropping. These techniques can prevent soil erosion, improve water quality, and help reduce the risk of it happening again.

They also reduce chemical contamination of 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 adherence of organic standards.

Certified organic products may bear the USDA seal or the symbol O Seal, which indicates that the product meets federal requirements.

Why should I go organic?

The health risks of conventional agriculture include asthma, allergies and diabetes. Make healthy food choices.

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) offers the following tips on how to pick "cleaner" food:

As much as possible, purchase organic fruits or vegetables

USDA organic labels should be used on meat, poultry and eggs as well as milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, honey, and other dairy products.

Avoid processed foods labelled "natural"/ "no additives."

Always read the ingredient lists. It is possible to add an ingredient during processing if it isn't already listed.

You should choose fresh meats rather than frozen or canned. Foods that are frozen or canned often have less nutritionally-rich ingredients, such as high fructosecorn syrup.

How can I tell if my produce has been certified organic?

These three labels can help you make sure you're buying organic produce.

USDA Organic Certified: Produces certified by USDA as 100% organic.

Certified Naturally Grown is produce that has met strict organic requirements but not yet been certified by the USDA.

Pastured/Free Range – Produced from animals that live outdoors and graze on grasses or herbs.

These labels are used to indicate that the product meets specified criteria.

• No synthetic pesticides and fertilizers
• No genetically modified organisms
• No antibiotics are ever given to the animal
• The animal is never given any hormones
• No growth-promoting medications
• No feed additives
• No artificial ingredients
• No irradiation
• There is no sewage sludge
• GMOs are not allowed
• No antibiotics ever given
• No hormones ever given
• No growth-promoting drugs
• No feed-additives
• No artificial ingredients
• No sewage effluent (if it isn't a GMO).
• No irradiation

What is the difference in organic and non-organic foods?

Organic food is made without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Organic farming practices promote soil health, water quality and animal welfare.

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

The term "natural" is often 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.

Organic produce is usually more nutritious that conventional produce. This is because organic soil contains fewer toxic chemicals and pesticides. Organic farmers are free from artificial fertilizers and pesticides.

How To

5 Reasons to buy organic products

Organic foods are free from pesticides and synthetic fertilisers. They contain no genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or irradiated ingredients. They are not made with sewage sludge, industrial solvents, or any other chemical substances. During its growing cycle, the food's natural environment will be protected from contamination. It is free of artificial preservatives and additives. No hormones or antibiotics are used. They are also grown in conditions that ensure they retain their nutritional value for longer periods of time.

1. Health benefits. Nonorganic produce is more chemically-laden than organic. This means that it is less likely to cause allergies. It also means that you consume less toxic chemicals and carcinogens.
2. Eco-friendliness. Organically grown produce doesn't require synthetic fertilizer or pesticides. Organic farms are typically located far away form areas of high pollution and where conventional growth is difficult because it requires so much effort. This helps to reduce the amount of air pollution.
3. Sustainability. Organic farming relies on soil fertility rather than chemical fertilizers; this results in healthier soils with higher levels of organic matter. The rotation of crops and the letting of land fallow can improve soil health. Farm animals develop strong immune systems when they eat only grasses/grains raised without adding hormones or antibiotics.
4. Taste. Conventional fruits and vegetables often taste bland because they're picked at peak ripeness, then shipped long distances to grocery stores. Organic produce tastes sweeter and more rich because it was picked when it was still young.
5. Nutrition. GMOs, BPA, and other harmful chemicals are often found in conventional processed foods. Stick to whole foods, including meat, eggs fish, nuts seeds, beans and fruit.
