Frequently Asked Questions

Is organic food better for us?

The Environmental Working Group's most recent report on pesticide residues found in food shows that organic fruits and veggies had almost half the pesticide content of non-organic. The Environmental Working Group found that organic apples contained eight-times less pesticides than other non-organic fruits, and organic strawberries had fourfold more than their conventional counterparts.

Studies have also shown that organic foods reduce the risk of mercury and lead poisoning. For instance, one study showed that children who consumed organic meat had 33% less blood lead levels than children who did not. A second study found that conventional fish should be avoided by pregnant women due to the high levels of mercury.

Organic food appears to be more safe than non-organic. Experts recommend that you choose fresh fruits and vegetables whenever possible to lower your chance of developing cancer or other diseases.

Why should you buy organic?

Conventional agriculture has been linked to several health problems, including asthma, allergies, obesity, diabetes, cancer, birth defects, hormone imbalances, and other diseases. Healthy choices must be made when purchasing food.

The Environmental Working Group offers these tips:

Buy organic fruits and vegetables whenever possible.

USDA organic labels are required for meat, poultry, eggs and milk.

Avoid processed foods that claim to be "natural" and "no additives."

Make sure you read through all the ingredients. If an ingredient doesn't appear on the list, it could be added to the product during processing.

It is better to eat fresh meats than canned or frozen. Many frozen and canned foods contain less nutrients, like high fructose Corn Syrup.

What are the top organic products?

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

Organic products are the future. Organic products are safer and better for the environment. They also make it more affordable for consumers.

They are also generally more expensive. We created the Organic Food Index. We wanted to know which foods are popular today and whether trends are changing.

The results showed that organic food is increasing in popularity. The number of Americans shopping for organic food grew by nearly 50% between 2011 and 2012.

According to the USDA, organic production increased by 10% last year alone. 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 average retail price for organic food is almost twice that of conventional foods, according to the Organic Trade Association (OTA).

The organic food sector is growing faster than other segments of the food supply. If you look closely at the data, it will be apparent that organic food consumption has steadily increased 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.

The younger generation is however leading the charge for organic food. Millennials have twice the likelihood of buying organic food as baby boomers. The 25% of organic food purchase made by younger adults below 35 are made up of young adults.

What you need to know about organic foods

Organic foods are those that come from plants or animals, and do not contain any chemical pesticides, fertilizers, or additives. They are made without genetic engineering and the application of ionizing radiance. No artificial colourings, flavour enhancers, preservatives, or colourings must be used in the food. It must not contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

When Justus von Liebig, a chemical chemist, coined "organic", which means "life-giving," to describe the properties in manure, the term "organic" was used for the first time. 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, about 50% of the global population consumes at-least one organic product every day. This percentage is increasing and will reach 70%, 80% and 90% by 2020.

Organic products are preferred for many reasons. 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. Some consumers choose non-organic products because of ethical concerns about farm workers' and animal treatment.

Organic food tends to be more expensive that conventional foods, but prices can vary depending upon the country or region. There are many factors that affect the cost of organic food. One factor is the availability of land suitable for organic agriculture. Another factor is the price of inputs as well as labour for organic farming. Transportation costs, marketing expenses, and taxes are all factors. The average price of organic food in Europe is 10% less than regular.
