Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between organic food and inorganic?
Organic food is free from pesticides, chemical fertilizers and sewage sludge. It can also be grown without irradiation or genetic modification. Organic farming practices contribute to soil health, water purity, and animal welfare.
Inorganic foods are produced using chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and sewage effluent. Radiation is used to treat irradiated food; biological engineering techniques are used to create genetically modified organisms (GMO).
The term "natural" is often used interchangeably with "organic." But natural does not necessarily imply organic. Products labelled "natural", however, may contain synthetic chemicals.
Because organic produce contains fewer harmful chemicals, pesticides, and fertilizers than conventional produce it is more nutritious. Organic farmers don't use any artificial fertilizers, hormones or antibiotics.
What is an organic food producer?
Organic food producers grow organic products without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers. These foods include fruits as well vegetables, grains and dairy products.
Organic food production happens on farms where crops have been naturally nurtured. This includes soil preparation and pest control as well as crop rotation.
To be organic, an agricultural product must meet the strict criteria of USDA (United States Department of Agriculture).
These guidelines will ensure that consumers have safe, healthy, and nutritious food.
The benefits of eating organic range from lower levels of pesticide residues and heavy metal contamination to higher nutrient content and better flavour.
USDA organic products must carry the USDA Certified Organic seal.
This certification signifies that the product meets all standards set by the National Organic Program.
Organic food not only makes us healthier but also helps to protect the environment.
Organic farming methods preserve natural resources, such as water or land. Organic farming techniques also help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions which contributes to climate change.
Organic agriculture uses fewer chemicals and reduces pollution runoff.
It improves air quality as harmful gases such nitrates or ammonia are less likely to accumulate in the atmosphere.
There are many kinds of organic farming: permaculture, regenerative and conventional.
Conventional farming refers to the use of synthetic inputs such as pesticides and fertilizers.
Regenerative farming includes compost, cover crops, as well as green manures that improve soil health. It encourages biodiversity.
Agroecology is concerned with sustainable relationships between humans, plants, animals, and the environment.
Permaculture encourages self sufficiency by designing systems that mirror nature.
What are the health benefits of organic foods?
Organic foods may not be healthy for everyone. However, regular consumption of organic foods can have health benefits.
Organic food does not contain artificial fertilizers or pesticides. It also doesn't contain fungicides. This means that organic produce is grown without harmful chemicals that could harm human health.
There are also fewer additives used during processing. Organic products are healthier than those that use additives during processing.
Studies show that organic foods contain more nutrients and antioxidants than conventionally grown fruits and vegetables.
Although organic farming methods tend to cost more than conventional farming methods, they often yield better results. Organic farming promotes soil fertility as well as biodiversity.
This helps to prevent erosion and conserve water resources. Organic farms require less fuel and energy because they don't contain toxic chemicals.
Some people worry that organic foods are more expensive than conventional ones. Prices will vary depending where you live. For example, organic apples can be more costly than conventional apples.
If you take a look at the cost of a basket containing both types of fruits, you will see that organic is less expensive.
So should you go organic?
It all depends upon who you are. You shouldn't bother if you don't enjoy organic food.

What is organic meat?
Organic meat is real food grown without pesticides, artificial fertilizers, or hormones. Organic meat is also a guarantee that the animals weren’t fed any genetically altered feed. The meat is safe to consume because it contains no harmful chemicals.
Organic meats are good for the environment. The pollution levels in our environment are reduced when we eat organic foods. Organic farmers generally don't use toxic chemicals that kill birds and insects. We help to protect wildlife.
The best way to ensure that you eat healthy organic meats is to buy them locally whenever possible. Local purchasing helps keep money local, not out of the state. Local businesses often pass on savings to customers shopping locally. Buy local to save jobs and not send them overseas.

Organics are often associated with produce. However, organic products can include dairy, meat, poultry and eggs as well as personal care items and pet food.
The USDA defines organic as crops grown in accordance with strict federal regulations. Farmers cannot use conventional (non-organic) methods to grow these foods. However, they can use approved natural methods to control pests, like crop rotation and cover crops, or animal feed made of organic materials.
A farmer must also adhere to guidelines about how much fertilizer or pesticide he applies during the growing season. Also, he must rotate his fields between different crops. Farmers cannot use genetically modified organisms (GMOs), artificial growth hormones, synthetic insecticides, or synthetic fertilizers.
All the above requirements are met by vegetables and fruits that are labeled "100% Organic". However, some farms won't claim that their products are 100% organic. This would confuse the consumers. They will instead label their product "made with organic ingredients." "
What are the most popular organic products?
The fastest-growing industry is organic food. But even though we've come a long way from our roots, there is still much room for growth.
Organic products are the future. They are safer and more cost-effective for consumers.
They are also generally more expensive. This is why we created the Organic Food Index. We wanted the ability to identify which foods are currently most popular and whether these trends have changed.
The results show that organic food is becoming increasingly popular. Between 2011 and 2012, the number of Americans who shop for organic food increased by almost 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 definitely on the rise, but it still seems expensive for consumers. According to the Organic Trade Association OTA, organic food retail prices are about twice those of conventional products.
That said, organic food is growing faster than any other segment of the food sector. Looking closely at the data, you'll see that organic food consumption has grown steadily since 2009.
According to OTA's data, organic products sold in supermarkets grew at 14% between 2010 - 2011.
This increase is due to consumers' demand for healthier foods. It is why organic food sales are growing across all ages.
The younger generation is however leading the charge for organic food. Millennials are twice likely to choose organic food than the baby boomers. Young adults below 35 years of age account for 25%.

How To
What happens to your body when you switch to organic products?
Organic products can be grown without synthetic fertilizers, hormones or antibiotics. They come only from natural sources of water and free-range animals. They are organic because they don't contain any additives or chemicals. This product was produced by nature and therefore contains no harmful substances.
The term "natural" refers how food is grown. This term is often used to refer to foods that are not processed into final forms (such as fruits). Natural foods are often fresher than others because they haven't been treated with heat, radiation, or chemical preservatives. Some people don't believe that natural means healthy. Experts aren't sure if there is much to be different between organic and traditional foods. Both types are tested for safety as well as quality. Organic produce has less pesticide residues and pollutant than conventionally grown food.
Most grocery shops now carry organic options. Check with your local market if you want organic meat, poultry, dairy, eggs, and seafood. Some companies only sell organic products, while others offer separate sections. Look for USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Biodynamic Association Certified, Rainforest Alliance Certified, etc.
These foods should be avoided by women who are pregnant or breast-feeding. Pesticides can harm unborn infants and babies.
