Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of organic farming?
Organic farming offers farmers a method of growing food that doesn't require the use of chemicals. Farmers don't have worry about whether harmful pesticides are affecting their crops or animals.
Organic farming allows for natural fertilizers to be used. These fertilizers are good for plants that are healthy and reduce chemical waste.
Organic farming can also be environmentally friendly. To recycle nutrients back into soil, farmers often resort to composting. This reduces pollution and conserves valuable resources.
Organic farming also helps the environment by increasing crop yields. This is because organic agriculture uses less water in the growing season.
Organic production methods result in farmers receiving higher prices. Consumers who are more aware about the dangers associated with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and other chemicals will choose healthier foods.
This leads to a greater demand for organic food products. Organic farming is becoming more popular because of this.
Are organic foods better?
According to the Environmental Working Group’s latest report on pesticide residues, organic fruits/vegetables had nearly half as many pesticides than non-organic. The Environmental Working Group found that organic apples contained eight-times less pesticides than other non-organic fruits, and organic strawberries had fourfold more than their conventional counterparts.
Other studies suggest that eating organic food reduces exposure to toxic metals like lead and mercury. For instance, one study showed that children who consumed organic meat had 33% less blood lead levels than children who did not. Another study concluded traditional fish should not be consumed by pregnant women, due to high mercury levels.
Organic food is generally safer than non-organic. Experts recommend eating fresh fruits and veggies whenever possible to reduce the chance of developing cancer.
Organic meat is better
If you've been paying any attention, you likely already know the answer. However, the truth is organic food is gaining popularity at a time when conventional food is falling out of favor.
Organic foods continue to be popular because they offer a healthier alternative. Organic products are not only safer for our health but also reduce pollution and waste.
However, this coin has two sides. Organic produce takes longer and requires more resources. Organic food is generally more expensive than nonorganic.
Organic meats will typically be more expensive than those that are raised in conventional conditions. There are however ways to lower these costs without sacrificing the quality of organic meats.
Locally grown produce is a great way to save money. Locally grown fruits and veggies help to lower prices because farmers get incentives to grow good crops.
A great way to save money is to search for deals. When you purchase organics, there are often discounts.
You can also save money by eating less meat. Due to the cost of raising livestock, meat production can be expensive.
There are many reasons why organic food is better for our bodies and the planet, but we should be careful not to overlook the cost.
How can I determine if my produce was organic?
If you want to make sure that you are buying organic produce, look for these three labels:
USDA Organic Certified - Produce certified by the USDA as being 100% organic.
Certified Naturally-Grown - Produce which has passed strict organic practices requirements, but not yet received USDA certification.
Pastured/Free Range - Produce from animals who live outdoors and graze freely on grass and herbs.
These labels indicate that the product meets certain criteria.
- No pesticides nor synthetic fertilizers
- No genetically modified organisms
- Animals are not given antibiotics.
- The animal is never given any hormones
- There are no growth-promoting drugs
- No feed additives
- No artificial ingredients
- No irradiation
- No sewage solids
- No GMOs
- No antibiotics ever given
- No hormones ever given
- No growth-promoting drug
- No feed-additives
- No artificial ingredients
- No sewage solids (if it's not GMO).
- No irradiation

Why should I choose organic?
The health risks of conventional agriculture include asthma, allergies and diabetes. You must make healthy choices when buying food.
Here are some tips from the Environmental Working Group (EWG).
Always buy organic fruits & vegetables.
USDA organic labels can be found on meat, poultry (eggs, eggs), milk, cheese and yogurt as well.
Avoid processed foods marked "natural" or with "no additives."
Be sure to read all ingredient labels. If an ingredient is not listed, it can be added during processing.
It is better to eat fresh meats than canned or frozen. Canned and frozen foods can often have lower nutritional content like high fructose syrup.
Statistics
- 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)
- When packaged products indicate they are “made with organic [specific ingredient or food group],” they contain at least 70% organically produced ingredients. (usda.gov)
- 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)
- Brands participating in this challenge are committed to using 100 percent sustainable cotton by 2025.[5] (en.wikipedia.org)

How To
5 Reasons You Should Buy Organic Products
Organic foods are free from pesticides and synthetic fertilisers. They contain no genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or irradiated ingredients. Their production methods do not involve sewage sludge or industrial solvents. During the growth process, food is kept clean from any contamination. It is completely free from artificial preservatives, additives, and other harmful chemicals. It does not contain hormones or antibiotics. They are also produced in conditions that preserve their nutritional value and freshness over longer periods.
- Health benefits. Organic produce contains fewer chemicals than nonorganic produce. This means it's less likely to cause allergies and sensitivities. This also means that you are consuming less toxins and carcinogens.
- Eco-friendliness. Produce grown without pesticides and synthetic fertilizer requires very little water. Because it takes so much energy to grow conventionally, organic farms tend to be located far away from urban areas where there's plenty of pollution. This helps to reduce air pollution.
- Sustainability. Organic farming relies on soil fertility rather than chemical fertilizers; this results in healthier soils with higher levels of organic matter. It is better for soil health to rotate crops and allow the land to fallow regularly. Farm animals develop strong immune systems when they eat only grasses/grains raised without adding hormones or antibiotics.
- 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. Because it was picked while still unripe, organic produce is richer and more flavorful.
- Nutrition. GMOs and BPA can be found in many processed foods. You can avoid them by sticking with whole foods such meat, fish, eggs, seafood, seeds and beans, as well as fruits, veggies, herbs, and vegetables.
