Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I choose organic?

Many health issues have been linked to conventional agriculture, including obesity, diabetes and cancer. Healthy choices must be made when purchasing food.

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 for meat, poultry eggs, milk and cheese as well butter and honey are recommended.

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

Carefully review ingredient lists. If an ingredient is not listed, it can be added during processing.

Frozen and canned meats should be preferred to fresh. Many frozen and canned foods contain less nutrients, like high fructose Corn Syrup.

What are some of the most popular organic products in your country?

Today, organic food is the fastest growing industry. But even though we've come a long way from our roots, there is still much room for growth.

Organic products are the future. They are safer, healthier for the environment, and easier to afford for consumers.

However, they are also more expensive. That is why we developed the Organic Food Index. We wanted to know which foods are popular today and whether trends are changing.

The results of the study show that organic food has become more popular. Between 2011 & 2012, almost half of Americans purchased organic food.

The USDA reports that organic production increased 10% last year. 9% now comes from organic foods in the United States.

Organic food is certainly on the rise but consumers are still not able to afford it. The Organic Trade Association (OTA) reports that organic food retail prices average almost double the price of conventional foods.

Despite this, organic food is growing at a faster rate than any other food segment. Looking closely at the data, you'll see that organic food consumption has grown steadily since 2009.

According to OTA, organic products sold in supermarkets grew 14% between 2010-2011.

This is due to consumer demand for healthier food, which explains why organic foods sales are rising across all age groups.

However, the younger generation is leading the charge in choosing organic food. Millennials have twice the likelihood of buying organic food as baby boomers. 25 percent of organic food purchases are made by young adults younger than 35.

What is an organic food processor?

Organic food producers grow organic products without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers. These foods include fruits, vegetables, grains, and dairy products.

Organic food production happens on farms where crops have been naturally nurtured. This includes soil preparation, pest controls, and crop rotation.

To be organic, an agricultural product must meet the strict criteria of USDA (United States Department of Agriculture).

These guidelines are designed to ensure consumers have access to safe, healthy and nutritious food.

Organic food has many benefits, including lower pesticide residues and higher levels of heavy metal contamination as well as better nutrition and flavor.

USDA Organic Products must have the "USDA Certified organic" label.

This certification means the product has met the standards of the National Organic Program.

Organic food not only makes us healthier but also helps to protect 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.

It also improves air quality because harmful gases like ammonia and nitrates are less likely to build up in the atmosphere.

There are many kinds of organic farming: permaculture, regenerative and conventional.

Conventional farming involves the use artificial inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides.

Regenerative agriculture uses cover crops and green manures to improve soil quality. It encourages biodiversity.

Agroecology emphasizes sustainable relationships between people and plants.

Permaculture promotes self-sufficiency through the design of systems that mimic nature.

How can you tell organic food from non-organic?

Fresh ingredients are essential for any chef. Because we feel better when we eat well.

The same is true of our food. Organics can be traced back to their source and whereabouts. It was not treated with 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 ways to safely grow organic crops.

Sustainable agriculture is sometimes called 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 help prevent soil erosion and improve water quality.

They also reduce chemical contamination of waterways. Local farms can be found in cities that raise organic produce.

There are two types for organic products certification. The USDA National Organic Program certifies the one while the independent certifying agency certifies the other. Both require strict compliance with organic standards.

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

How To

Five Reasons to Purchase Organic Products

Organic foods do not use pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. They are free from genetically modified organisms and irradiated substances. Their production processes do not include sewage or industrial solvents. During the course of its growth cycle, the natural environment of the food is protected from contamination. It is free from artificial additives and preservatives. No hormones or antibiotics are used. They are also produced in conditions that preserve their nutritional value and freshness over longer periods.

1. Health benefits. Organic produce contains fewer chemicals than nonorganic produce. This means that it is less likely to cause allergies. This also means that you are consuming less toxins and carcinogens.
2. Eco-friendliness. Produce grown without pesticides and synthetic fertilizer requires very little water. Organic farms are typically located far away form areas of high pollution and where conventional growth is difficult because it requires so much effort. That helps reduce air pollution.
3. Sustainability. Organic farming relies less on chemical fertilizers and more on soil fertility. This results with healthier soils with greater organic matter. Rotating crops and allowing the soil to rest between harvests improves soil health. Strong immune systems are developed when farm animals only eat grasses and grains that have not been treated with hormones or antibiotics.
4. Taste. The taste of conventional fruits and veggies is often bland. This is because they are picked at the peak of ripeness. They then get shipped long distances to their destination. Organic produce is more rich and sweetened because it was harvested when it was still unripe.
5. Nutrition. GMOs are harmful chemicals found in many conventional processed foods. If you want to avoid these, stick to whole foods such as meat, eggs, fish, nuts, seeds, beans, fruit, veggies, and herbs.
