What is an organic food manufacturer?
Organic food producers create products that are grown without pesticides and chemical fertilizers. These foods include fruits, veggies, grains, and dairy goods.
Organic food production occurs on farms that have their crops grown naturally. This includes crop rotation, soil preparation, and pest control.
The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture), must set strict criteria for organic agricultural products.
These guidelines ensure that consumers can access safe, wholesome, nutritious food.
The benefits of eating organic range from lower levels of pesticide residues and heavy metal contamination to higher nutrient content and better flavour.
USDA organic products must carry the USDA Certified Organic seal.
This certification signifies that the product meets all standards set by the National Organic Program.
Organic food helps us eat healthier and also protects the environment.
Organic farming techniques preserve water and land. Organic farming also helps to reduce greenhouse gases emissions, which are responsible for climate change.
Organic agriculture is more sustainable and uses less chemicals.
Because harmful gases such as ammonia or nitrates are less likely in the atmosphere, it also improves air quality.
There are many kinds of organic farming: permaculture, regenerative and conventional.
Conventional farming is the use of synthetic inputs like pesticides or fertilizers.
Regenerative farming uses compost, cover crops, green manures, and other methods to improve the soil's health. It also encourages biodiversity.
Agroecology emphasizes sustainable relationships between people and plants.
Permaculture encourages self sufficiency by designing systems that mirror nature.
Is organic food good for you?
There are two types of foods; those we grow ourselves and those we buy from someone else. While there are exceptions, the general answer is yes to both. Organic food is safer because it does not contain any harmful chemicals.
In supermarkets all over North America, Europe Asia, Latin America, Latin America, and Africa, you can find organic food. Many grocery stores now sell organic food. This makes it easier for customers to select organic products.
Organic food tastes better and is more nutritious, as it has higher levels of vitamins and minerals. 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. They require farmers to follow strict guidelines so that organic produce can be eaten safely. There are currently over 30 million acres of US farmland certified as organic.
As an added benefit, organic food is often much cheaper than conventional food. The same amount of nutrients, calories, and protein is being offered by organic food, but consumers are often paying less. 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 the Environmental Working Group (EWG), organic food actually costs 10% less per pound. Switching to organic food is a smart move if you care about your health and that of your family.
Organic food has become an increasingly popular alternative to American standard diets. Although many may think that organic food is only available at specialty markets and gourmet restaurants, this isn't true. Organic food can easily be found in any regular grocery store across the United States.
Organic food sales have increased significantly in recent years. The US market value of organic foods was $43Billion in 2012, up from $21B in 2007.
What are some things I should look out for when purchasing organic goods?
Look for USDA-certified organic labels. This guarantees that the product meets certain USDA standards. You will find the USDA Organic seal on all boxes, cartons and cans.
When shopping for meat, ensure it comes from cows fed 100% organic feed. Cattle are ruminants which means that 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. The digestive tract of an omnivorous chicken is composed of a crop and proventriculus, gizzard as well as small intestine, large intestinale, and anus.
You should ensure you only buy dairy products made from milk that has been produced by cows who have been fed 100% organically grown food. Like ruminants and dairy cows, they have four stomach compartments. The fourth stomach compartment, the udder, is where milk comes from.
When purchasing other types of livestock, check the label to see what percentage of the diet the animals were fed. For example, pork may be labelled '95% organic.' This means 95 percent of the pig's feed came from organic sources.

How To
5 Reasons to buy organic products
Organic foods do not use pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. They do not contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs), or radioactive ingredients. Their production does not use sewage sludge and industrial solvents. The food's natural environment is protected from contamination during its growth cycle. It does not contain artificial preservatives or additives. No hormones or antibiotics are used. They are also made in conditions that maintain their nutritional value and freshness for longer times.
- Health benefits. Nonorganic produce has more chemicals than organic. Organic produce is healthier. This means it's less likely to cause allergies and sensitivities. It also means that you consume less toxic chemicals and carcinogens.
- Eco-friendliness. Produce grown without pesticides or synthetic fertilizer needs very little water. Organic farms are located far from cities where there is a lot of pollution, because they require so much energy to grow. This reduces air pollution.
- Sustainability. Organic farming is based on soil fertility and not chemical fertilizers. This results in soils that are healthier and have higher levels of organic matter. Soil health improves when farmers rotate crops and leave land fallow periodically. When farm animals eat only grasses and grains raised without any added hormones or antibiotics, they develop strong immune systems.
- Taste. Traditional fruits and vegetables are often bland due to the fact that they are picked at peak ripeness and shipped long distances for grocery stores. Organic produce tastes richer and sweeter because it was harvested while still unripe.
- Nutrition. GMOs and BPA can be found in many processed foods. Avoid these harmful chemicals by eating whole foods, such as meat, eggs and fish, seeds, legumes, fruits, vegetables, herbs, and beans.
