Frequently Asked Questions
What is organic food?
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 can naturally grow, so no chemicals are used by farmers to combat pests or weeds.
Organic farming practices help maintain soil quality and reduce erosion. Organics have more nutrients than traditional food, which makes them better for our health. Organic products tend to be higher in fiber and lower fat than conventionally produced foods.
What is inorganic food?
Organic food is produced without the use of artificial fertilizers and pesticides. These chemicals can be harmful for your health.
Organic food is grown naturally without harmful substances such as chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides. These chemicals can cause harm to animals and humans.
Inorganic food includes meat, fish, eggs, milk, cheese, butter, yogurt, honey, grains, vegetables, fruits, spices, and herbs.
Organic refers specifically to the method an agricultural product has been grown. Organic farming uses natural methods to grow crops. Conventional farming uses pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.
U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines must be followed when organic food is labeled. According to the National Organic Program Standards all organic food must be free of banned materials such as antibiotics growth hormones genetically modified organisms GMOs, and industrial solvents. Organic food must not be produced with toxic chemicals, petroleum or sewage sludges or ionizing radioactive substances.
Are organic foods good for your health?
Organic foods may not be healthy for everyone. But for those who eat them regularly, there are definite health benefits.
Organic food is made without pesticides or herbicides, hormones or genetic engineering. Organic produce is free from harmful chemicals that could cause harm to human health.
Additionally, organic products are less likely to contain additives during processing. So when you buy an organic product, you're likely eating healthier than non-organic products.
Studies have shown that organic fruits and vegetables contain more nutrients than those grown conventionally.
Organic farming methods are more expensive than conventional methods but they can often produce better results. When farmers grow crops organically, they encourage soil fertility and biodiversity.
This helps preserve water resources and prevents erosion. Organic farms do not require toxic chemicals to operate. They also use less energy and fuel.
People are worried that organic foods may be more expensive then conventional. However, prices can vary depending upon where you live. For example, organic apples can be more costly than conventional apples.
However, organic fruit is more affordable if you compare the price of a basket of both types.
Do you want to go organic?
It depends on you. Organic food is not for you if you don’t like it.
You can purchase organic food if it is delicious. Organic foods are safer than conventional food because they don't contain chemical pesticides or fertilizers.
Organic agriculture preserves our environment by conserving natural resource and encouraging biodiversity.
Why should organic be my first choice?
Conventional agriculture has been linked with many health problems including asthma, allergies. Make healthy food choices.
The Environmental Working Group offers these tips:
Always purchase organic fruits, vegetables and other products whenever possible.
USDA organic labels are required for meat, poultry, eggs and milk.
Avoid processed foods that claim to be "natural" and "no additives."
Carefully review ingredient lists. It is possible to add an ingredient during processing if it isn't already listed.
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 some things I should look out for when purchasing organic goods?
USDA-certified organic labels are recommended. This certification means that the product is certified organic by USDA. On packages, boxes, cartons or cans, look out for the USDA Organic seal.
When shopping for meat ensure it comes only from cows that are fed 100% organic feed. Cattle are ruminants. They eat the whole animal. Ruminant cattle have four stomach compartments: rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. If the cow is to be labeled "100% organic", all of its parts must have been organically fed.
Chicken should be only purchased from chickens raised on organic feed, and not given antibiotics. Chickens are omnivores. This means they can eat both plant and animal food. A digestive tract that is omnivorous includes a crop, proventriculus and gizzard. It also contains small intestines, large intestines, and anus.
When buying dairy products, ensure they come from cows fed 100% organically grown feed. Dairy cows have four stomach compartments, just like ruminants. Milk comes from the fourth stomach compartment--the udder.
If you are buying other types of livestock, make sure to check the label to determine the percentage of their diet. A label for pork might say "95% organic", which means that 95% of the feed used by the pork came from organic sources.
Which organic vegetables are the best?
Organic vegetables are the most nutritious and healthy food source for humans. They are considered to be the healthiest foods on earth.
Organic produce is produced without pesticides or herbicides. These chemicals can be dangerous to our environment as well as our health.
Organic produce also has more nutrients, vitamins minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients. They also contain more fibre, essential fatty acids, enzymes, fiber, and enzymes. This makes them more healthy because organic produce absorbs nutrients better.
Organic vegetables taste great and are safe to eat. There are no known side effects associated with consuming organic produce.
All grocery stores can carry organic produce. They can be labeled organic if they are grown according to USDA guidelines.
Statistics
- According to a study performed by consumerreports.org, organic products, compared to non-organic products, ranged anywhere from 13 percent cheaper to 303 percent more expensive. (en.wikipedia.org)
- Once certified by the USDA, it can fall into one of four categories: "100 percent organic", "organic," "made with organic ingredients," or "made with less than 70 percent organic ingredients. (en.wikipedia.org)
- Cosmetic brands such as Laurel and Rose Mira are 100 percent organic and have a wide array of skincare products. (en.wikipedia.org)
- As for organic meat, regulations require that animals be raised in living conditions that accommodate their natural behaviours (like the ability to graze on pasture), fed 100% organic feed and forage, and not administered antibiotics or hormones. (usda.gov)

How To
Organic foods are healthier and more nutritious.
Organic food is produced without chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. They are grown under natural conditions without artificial inputs such as fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, hormones, antibiotics, or genetic engineering. Organic farming methods include crop rotation, cover, composting animal manure and recycling wastewater.
In 2002, USDA National Organic Programs (NOP) were established to regulate the production and handling of organic products that are sold in the United States. NOP regulations ensure organic agricultural products conform to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Additionally, organic products must not contain prohibited substances like pesticide residues or genetically modified organisms.
For producers in the USA who want their products "organic", there are two kinds of certification programs: one for farmers or ranchers and one for manufacturers. Both programs require an annual audit of the operations in order to confirm compliance with stringent standards. This service is offered by several certifying agents, such as the CCOF Certified Organic Farmers & Ranchers or Quality Assurance International. These organizations offer third-party verification that farms adhere to strict guidelines about environmental stewardship and labour practices.
According to USDA’s Economic Research Service, organic farming accounted for $4.7Billion in 2013 sales. In 2013, organic agriculture accounted for $4.7 billion in sales. This represents a 23-percent increase over 2009. This period saw a 12 percent increase in grocery store sales. Spending on direct purchases of organic produce increased by 29 percent, while spending on meat, poultry, eggs, dairy, and seafood grew by only 1 percent.
Organic food is more expensive but the quality of organic food is worth it. Consumer Reports conducted a 2015 survey and found that 88% would pay more if organic food had better nutritional value. Health Affairs also published a study showing that organic foods are less likely for people to get heart disease, diabetes, cancer, or obesity.
Although there is no evidence eating organic foods prevents or treats any diseases, some studies suggest that consuming them might improve overall health by reducing exposure to specific contaminants and pesticides. One example is the conclusion reached by a review of 31 studies, published in 2010, that organically reared beef was significantly less toxic than conventionally-raised beef. A separate analysis of 11 publications from 2012 produced similar results.
A 2014 report from the Environmental Working Group looked at data from the Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Resource Center and found that the incidence of foodborne illness caused by E. coli, salmonella, listeria monocytogenes, campylobacter, and verotoxin-producing E. coli O157:H7 decreased when comparing organic to non-organic chicken, pork, beef, lamb, milk, and cheese. After 2006, when USDA required stricter organic standards in animal raising for human consumption, the group noted that E.coli O157 was less common among children and adults.
