Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between organic food and inorganic?
Organic food is produced without pesticides, chemical fertilizers, sewage sludge, irradiation, or genetic modification. Organic farming practices promote soil health, water quality and animal welfare.
Inorganic foods are grown with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and sewage sludge. Radiation can be used to destroy food, while genetically modified organisms are created by biological engineering.
"Natural" is sometimes used interchangeably in the context of "organic." Natural does not always mean organic. You may also find products that are labeled as "natural", which could contain synthetic ingredients.
Organic produce is often more nutritious than conventional produce, as the soil has fewer pesticides and harmful chemicals. Organic farmers also don't use synthetic fertilizers or hormones, pesticides, or antibiotics.
What is an Organic Food Producer?
Organic food producers create products that are grown without pesticides and chemical fertilizers. These foods include fruits, vegetables, grains, and dairy products.
Organic food production occurs on farms that have their crops grown naturally. This includes soil preparation and pest control as well as crop rotation.
To be organic, an agricultural product must meet the strict criteria of USDA (United States Department of Agriculture).
These guidelines make it possible for consumers to have safe, healthy, and delicious food.
Organic foods have higher nutritional content and better flavor, as well as lower pesticide residues.
USDA certified organic products must bear the USDA Certified Organic label.
This certification means that the product meets standards established by the National Organic Program.
Organic food helps us eat healthier and also protects the environment.
Organic farming techniques conserve water and land. Organic methods also reduce greenhouse gas emissions that can cause climate change.
Organic agriculture uses fewer chemicals, and less pollution runoff.
Because harmful gases such as ammonia or nitrates are less likely in the atmosphere, it also improves air quality.
There are many types of organic farming, including conventional, regenerative, agroecological, and permaculture.
Conventional farming involves the use artificial inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides.
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.
Why is organic foods important?
Our health is dependent on organic produce. Organic produce is the best way to eat healthy foods. It's healthier for us as well as more environmentally-friendly because it doesn’t rely on pesticides, fertilizers, or other chemicals.
Organic farming relies on natural methods to cultivate crops, without the use of harmful chemicals. This results in fewer environmental pollutants and makes organic farming safer. Organic food is a way to help the environment and protect yourself.
Organic food has many benefits that go beyond health. We all know how unhealthy processed foods can make us feel. Did you know that organic fruits and veggies aren't subject to chemical spray? This means they are more fresh tasting, last longer and look better.
Because of this, organic foods are so important. Because it's not only healthy for you, it's healthier for the world.
What are my top priorities when buying organic products
USDA-certified organic label are desirable. This guarantee that the product has met specific standards set forth by USDA. On all packages, boxes and cartons, look for the USDA Organic seal.
When shopping for meat, ensure it comes from cows fed 100% organic feed. Cattle are ruminants. This means they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle can be found with four stomach compartments: the rumen, the reticulum, omasum, abomasum and omasum. If a cow is to be labeled organically, all parts must be organically fed.
Chicken should be only purchased from chickens raised on organic feed, and not given antibiotics. Chickens are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and animals. The digestive tract of an omnivorous chicken is composed of a crop and proventriculus, gizzard as well as small intestine, large intestinale, and anus.
When buying dairy products, ensure they come from cows fed 100% organically grown feed. Just like ruminants have four stomachs, dairy cows have four. The fourth stomach compartment is the udder.
To find out the percent of the feed the animals received when you purchase other types livestock, be sure to read the labels. A label for pork might say "95% organic", which means that 95% of the feed used by the pork came from organic sources.
Why should you buy organic?
There have been many health problems linked to conventional farming, including allergies, asthma, diabetes, obesity, cancer, birth defects and hormone imbalances. When buying food, you must make wise choices.
The Environmental Working Group offers these tips:
Always purchase organic fruits, vegetables and other products whenever possible.
USDA organic labels for meat, poultry eggs, milk and cheese as well butter and honey are recommended.
Avoid processed foods marked "natural" or with "no additives."
Carefully review ingredient lists. If an ingredient isn’t listed, it might be added during processing.
Choose fresh meats over frozen or canned ones. Cans and frozen foods are often less nutritious than fresh meats, such as high fructose corn syrup.
What are organic foods?
Organic produce is free from synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, sewage sludge and confinement feeding. There is no use of growth hormones and no animal testing. These crops are allowed natural growth, so farmers don't use chemicals to kill pests and weeds.
Organic farming practices help maintain soil quality and reduce erosion. Organics are also better for your health as they contain more nutrients that conventional food. Organic foods are often higher in fiber, lower in fat, and less calories than those produced conventionally.
What are organic products for the skin?

Organic skincare products don't contain artificial colours or fragrances.
They also have the ability to support healthy skin, prevent premature ageing, promote healing after injuries and overall well-being.

How To
5 Reasons to Buy Organic Products
Organic foods are organically grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. They are free from genetically modified organisms and irradiated substances. They do not use industrial solvents or sewage effluent in their production. During its growth, the food's natural environment remains unaffected by contamination. It is free of preservatives as well as artificial additives. There is no use hormones or anti-biotics. They are also grown in conditions that ensure they retain their nutritional value for longer periods of time.
- Health benefits. Nonorganic produce is more chemically-laden than organic. This means it's less likely to cause allergies and sensitivities. This also means that you are consuming less toxins and carcinogens.
- Eco-friendliness. Produce grown without synthetic fertilizer and pesticides requires very little water. Organic farms are often located far from areas with high levels of pollution because it takes so much energy for conventional agriculture to grow. This helps to reduce air pollution.
- Sustainability. Organic farming relies more on soil fertility than chemical fertilizers. This results is healthier soils with higher organic matter. The rotation of crops and the letting of land fallow can improve soil health. When farm animals eat only grasses and grains raised without any added hormones or antibiotics, they develop strong immune systems.
- Taste. Because they are picked at their peak ripeness and then shipped long distances to supermarkets, conventional fruits and vegetables can often taste bland. Organic produce tastes richer and sweeter because it was harvested while still unripe.
- Nutrition. Many conventional processed foods contain harmful substances like BPA and GMOs. Stick to whole foods, including meat, eggs fish, nuts seeds, beans and fruit.
