Frequently Asked Questions

What are some of the most popular organic products in your country?

Today, organic foods are the fastest-growing industries. 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, healthier for the environment, and easier to afford for consumers.

They also tend to have higher prices. That is why we developed the Organic Food Index. We wanted to find out which foods are most popular with shoppers today, and whether these 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 production grew by 10% last year. 9% now comes from organic foods in the United States.

Although organic food is gaining popularity, it appears that consumers still have to pay a premium for it. According to the Organic Trade Association, (OTA), organic food retail prices are nearly twice as expensive than conventional options.

Organic food is growing faster that any other sector of the food industry. If you look closely at the data, it will be apparent that organic food consumption has steadily increased since 2009.

According to OTA the volume of organic products sold at supermarkets grew by 14% in 2010 and 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 choosing organic food more often than older generations. Millennials have twice the likelihood of buying organic food as baby boomers. Young adults aged below 35 account for 25%.

What is organic food?

Organic produce does not contain synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and sewage sludge. It is also grown without irradiation or genetic engineering. No growth hormones are used, and there is no animal testing. These crops are allowed to grow naturally, so farmers do not use chemicals to prevent weeds or pests.

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.

Organic food is organic and free of pesticides. This means that organic food is often free of pesticides and fertilizers.

Organic produce contains more nutrients and is healthier than conventionally manufactured foods, as it does not contain any harmful additives.

These guidelines include soil preparation and crop rotation, pest management, water conservation, as well as harvesting practices.

Organic farming also promotes healthy ecosystems which are beneficial to wildlife and natural habitats.

How do you determine if food has been grown organically?

Fresh ingredients are what chefs value the most. That's because when we eat well, we feel better.

The same applies to our food. Organics are traceable back to the source and provenance of their products. We also know that it didn't have any harmful chemicals.

Organic foods are made without the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, hormones, steroids, antibiotics, or genetically altered organisms (GMO). These substances aren't permitted for organic farmers.

Sustainable agriculture is sometimes called organic farming. It is a less resource-intensive alternative to conventional farming, but still provides enough nutrients to sustain life.

Organic farming methods include crop rotations, composting manure and cover cropping. These practices help to prevent soil erosion and improve water purity.

They also reduce chemical contamination of waterways. Many of us live in urban areas so we have access to local farms that produce organic produce.

There are two types of certification programs for organic products. One is certified through the USDA National Organic Program and the other by independent certifying agents. Both require strict conformity to organic standards.

USDA seals or O Seals can be applied to organic products. This symbol indicates that the product meets federal requirements.

1. Health benefits. Organic produce contains less chemicals than nonorganic. This means that it is less likely to cause allergies. This also means that you are consuming less toxins and carcinogens.
2. Eco-friendliness. Produce grown without pesticides and synthetic fertilizer requires very little water. Organic farms are located far from cities where there is a lot of pollution, because they require so much energy to grow. This helps to reduce the amount of air pollution.
3. Sustainability. Organic farming relies less on chemical fertilizers and more on soil fertility. This results with healthier soils with greater organic matter. Farmers should rotate crops and let the land go bare periodically to improve soil health. Strong immune systems develop when farm animals are fed only grasses grown without antibiotics or added hormones.
4. Taste. The taste of conventional fruits and veggies is often bland. This is because they are picked at the peak of ripeness. They then get shipped long distances to their destination. Organic produce is more rich and sweetened because it was harvested when it was still unripe.
5. Nutrition. GMOs are harmful chemicals found in many conventional processed foods. If you want to avoid these, stick to whole foods such as meat, eggs, fish, nuts, seeds, beans, fruit, veggies, and herbs.
