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 may be grown with chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or sewage sludge. Irradiated foods are treated with radiation; genetically modified organisms (GMO) are created through biological engineering techniques.
"Organic" and "natural" are often interchangeable. But, "natural" does not necessarily refer to organic. Some products labeled "natural" may also contain synthetic ingredients.
Organic produce is usually more nutritious that conventional produce. This is because organic soil contains fewer toxic chemicals and pesticides. Organic farmers do not use pesticides, artificial fertilizers, hormones, anti-biotics, and other harmful chemicals.
Is organic a guarantee that the product is pesticide-free
Organic food is organic and free of pesticides. This means that organic food is not exposed to pesticides or fertilizers.
Because organic produce does not contain harmful additives it has more nutrients that conventionally produced foods.
The USDA National Organic Program (NOP) requires farmers to follow strict guidelines for growing crops certified as organic.
These guidelines include soil preparation and crop rotation, pest management, water conservation, as well as harvesting practices.
Organic farming techniques also contribute to healthy ecosystems that benefit wildlife as well as natural habitats.
What are organic food products?
Organic produce can be grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. There are no growth hormones used and animal testing is not performed. These crops are allowed to grow naturally, so farmers do not use chemicals to prevent weeds or pests.
Organic farming methods also help to preserve soil quality, reduce erosion, and conserve water resources. Organics are also better for your health as they contain more nutrients that conventional food. Organic products tend to be higher in fiber and lower fat than conventionally produced foods.
Statistics
- Popular clothing brands, like Patagonia, are labelled as organic by using 100 percent organic cotton for many of their styles. (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)
- 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)
- Nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids were up to 50 percent higher in organic meats and milk than in conventionally raised products.[3] (en.wikipedia.org)

How To
5 Reasons to buy organic products
Organic foods do not use pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. They are free from genetically modified organisms and irradiated substances. They do not use industrial solvents or sewage effluent in their production. During the growth process, food is kept clean from any contamination. It is free of artificial preservatives and 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. It's therefore less likely that it will cause allergies and other sensitivities. You also consume fewer toxic substances and carcinogens.
- Eco-friendliness. Produce grown without synthetic fertilizer and pesticides requires very little water. Because conventional farming requires so much energy, organic farms are usually located far from places where pollution is high. This reduces air pollution.
- 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. Farm animals that eat only grasses, grains and no antibiotics 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 is sweeter and richer because it was harvested at the peak of its ripeness.
- Nutrition. GMOs, BPA, and other harmful chemicals are often found in conventional processed foods. These harmful substances can be avoided by sticking to whole foods like meat, eggs, fish and nuts as well as seeds, beans, fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
