Frequently Asked Questions
Which organic products are most in demand?
Today organic food is the fastest-growing sector. But even though we've come a long way from our roots, there is still much room for growth.
Organic products are the future. Organic products are safer, more sustainable, and cheaper for consumers.
However, they are also more expensive. That is why we developed the Organic Food Index. We wanted to see which foods are most in demand today and how these trends are changing.
The results of the study show that organic food has become more popular. The number of Americans shopping for organic food grew by nearly 50% between 2011 and 2012.
The USDA reports that organic production increased 10% last year. The U.S. now produces 9% of its agricultural output from organic food.
While organic food is certainly gaining ground, it seems that it is still an expensive choice for consumers. According to the Organic Trade Association (OTA), average retail prices for organic food are almost double those of conventional alternatives.
That said, organic food is growing faster than any other segment of the food sector. If you examine the data closely, you will see that organic foods have grown steadily in consumption 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.
Younger generations are also leading the way in organic food choices. Millennials are twice as likely to buy organic food compared to baby boomers. Young adults aged below 35 account for 25%.
Are there health benefits to eating organic food?
Even though organic foods might not be for everyone, there are some health benefits. There are certain health benefits to those who consume organic foods regularly.
Organic food is free from artificial fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides as well as hormones, antibiotics and genetic engineering. Organic produce is free from harmful chemicals that could cause harm to human health.
Also, there are fewer additives that are used in processing. Organic products are more nutritious than those made from non-organic ingredients.
Studies have shown organic foods have more nutrients and antioxidants that conventionally grown fruits, vegetables.
Even though organic farming methods can be more costly than conventional farming methods they are often more productive. Organic farming increases soil fertility and biodiversity.
This helps prevent erosion and conserve water. Organic farms don't use toxic chemicals and require less fuel and energy.
Some people worry that organic foods are more expensive than conventional ones. Prices will vary depending where you live. Organic apples, for example, are more expensive than regular apples.
However, organic fruit is more affordable if you compare the price of a basket of both types.
Do you really need to buy organic?
It all depends upon who you are. Organic food is not for you if you don’t like it.
Organic food can be purchased if you like good-tasting food. Organic food is safer because organic produce is not grown by commercial growers who use pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
Organic agriculture is a way to preserve the environment, conserve natural resources, and encourage biodiversity.

These three labels can help you make sure you're buying organic produce.

How to buy organic meat even on a tight budget

Here are some tips to help you find low-cost organic meats. Also, how much per pound they cost. You will learn how to make the best out of what you purchase.
To eat well, you don't have to spend a lot. Sometimes creativity is required to make money while still eating healthy. Here are some ways you can cut down on food expenses while still getting the best from organic meat.
- Buy at wholesale clubs - Costco and Sams Club are great places to shop for bulk foods like chicken breasts and pork chops. You can often find deals on large quantities (up to 50 pounds) if you live close to one of these stores. This will ensure that you don't waste any meat. If you buy it in bulk you can freeze it so it lasts more.
- Online shopping is a great way to find meat at a discounted price.
