You probably know the answer if you have been paying attention for a while. However, the truth is organic food is gaining popularity at a time when conventional food is falling out of favor.
The reason why organic foods continue to rise in popularity is that they are healthier for us. In addition to being safer for our health, organic products also help the environment by reducing pollution and waste.

Why is organic foods important?

Organic food has many benefits that go beyond health. We all know how unhealthy processed foods can make us feel. But did you know that most organic fruits and vegetables aren't treated with chemical spray either? This means they are more fresh tasting, last longer and look better.
This is why organic food is so important. Organic is healthy for your health and for the environment.
What are some of the most popular organic products in your country?
Today organic food is the fastest-growing sector. However, we still have a lot to learn from our roots.
Organic products are the future. They are safer, better for our environment, and more affordable 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 show that organic food is becoming increasingly popular. Between 2011 and 2012 the number of Americans buying organic food increased nearly 50%.
According to USDA, organic food production increased by 10% only last year. Currently, organic food accounts for 9% in the U.S. agricultural production.
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.
That said, organic food is growing faster than any other segment of the food sector. If you look closely at the data, it will be apparent that organic food consumption has steadily increased since 2009.
According to OTA's data, organic products sold in supermarkets grew at 14% between 2010 - 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. 25 percent of organic food purchases are made by young adults younger than 35.

How To
5 Reasons to buy organic products
Organic food is grown without synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. They contain no genetically modified or irradiated food ingredients. They are not made with sewage sludge, industrial solvents, or any other chemical substances. During the growth process, food is kept clean from any contamination. It is completely free from artificial preservatives, additives, and other harmful chemicals. There is no use hormones or anti-biotics. They are also made in conditions that maintain their nutritional value and freshness for longer times.
- Health benefits. Nonorganic produce is more chemically-laden than organic. This means that organic produce is less likely cause allergic reactions and sensitivities. This means you're also consuming less toxic and carcinogens.
- Eco-friendliness. Produce grown without pesticides and synthetic fertilizer requires very little water. Because it takes so much energy to grow conventionally, organic farms tend to be located far away from urban areas where there's plenty of pollution. That helps reduce air pollution.
- Sustainability. Organic farming relies on soil fertility, rather than chemical fertilisers. This results in healthier soils and higher levels organic matter. It is better for soil health to rotate crops and allow the land to fallow regularly. Strong immune systems are developed when farm animals only eat grasses and grains that have not been treated with hormones or antibiotics.
- Taste. Due to being picked at peak quality, vegetables and fruits are often bland. Organic produce is more rich and sweetened because it was harvested when it was still unripe.
- Nutrition. GMOs are harmful chemicals found in many conventional processed foods. Avoid these harmful chemicals by eating whole foods, such as meat, eggs and fish, seeds, legumes, fruits, vegetables, herbs, and beans.
