Frequently Asked Questions
How can you tell organic food from non-organic?
Fresh ingredients are what chefs value the most. We feel better when our food is good.
This is true for food as well. 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 are forbidden for organic farmers.
But that doesn't mean there isn't an art to growing organic crops. There are many methods to safely grow them.
Sustainable agriculture is also known as organic farming. This means that organic farming does not use as many resources as conventional methods, but it still provides the essential nutrients needed to sustain life.
Organic farming methods include crop rotations, composting manure and cover cropping. These techniques reduce soil erosion and increase water quality.
They reduce chemical runoff from waterways. Local farms can be found in cities that raise 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 adherence of organic standards.
Certified organic products may bear the USDA seal or the symbol O Seal, which indicates that the product meets federal requirements.
Why should I buy organic?
Conventional agriculture has been linked to several health problems, including asthma, allergies, obesity, diabetes, cancer, birth defects, hormone imbalances, and other diseases. Make healthy food choices.
The Environmental Working Group offers these tips:
When possible, buy organic fruits and veggies
USDA organic labels can be found on meat, poultry (eggs, eggs), milk, cheese and yogurt as well.
Avoid processed foods that claim to be "natural" and "no additives."
Be sure to read all ingredient labels. If an ingredient doesn't appear on the list, it could be added to the product during processing.
Fresh meats are better than canned or frozen. Foods that are frozen or canned often have less nutritionally-rich ingredients, such as high fructosecorn syrup.
What are the most loved organic products?
Organic food is the fastest-growing industry today. Even though we have come a long ways from our roots there is still plenty of room for growth.
Organic products will be the future. Organic products are safer, more sustainable, and cheaper for consumers.
They also tend to have higher prices. That's why we created the Organic Food Index. We wanted to see which foods are most in demand today and how these trends are changing.
These findings show that organic foods are becoming more popular. Between 2011 and 2012, the number of Americans who shop for organic food increased by almost 50%.
The USDA reported that organic production rose by 10% in the last year. Organic food now accounts for 9% of U.S. agricultural output.
Organic food is certainly on the rise but consumers are still not able to afford it. According to the Organic Trade Association, (OTA), organic food retail prices are nearly twice as expensive than conventional options.
The organic food sector is growing faster than other segments of the food supply. If you examine the data closely, you will see that organic foods have grown steadily in consumption since 2009.
According to OTA the volume of organic products sold at supermarkets grew by 14% in 2010 and 2011.
This increase reflects consumer demand for healthier foods, which explains why organic food sales are increasing across all age groups.
However, younger generations are leading the charge when choosing organic food. Millennials are twice more likely to purchase organic food than baby boomers. 25 percent of organic food purchases are made by young adults younger than 35.

- When packaged products indicate they are “made with organic [specific ingredient or food group],” they contain at least 70% organically produced ingredients. (usda.gov)
- As for organic meat, regulations require that animals be raised in living conditions that accommodate their natural behaviours (like the ability to graze on pasture), fed 100% organic feed and forage, and not administered antibiotics or hormones. (usda.gov)

How To
5 Reasons to Buy Organic Products
Organic foods are organically grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. They do not contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs), or radioactive ingredients. Their production methods do not involve sewage sludge or industrial solvents. During its growing cycle, the food's natural environment will be protected from contamination. It is completely free from artificial preservatives, additives, and other harmful chemicals. It does not contain hormones or antibiotics. They are also made in conditions that maintain their nutritional value and freshness for longer times.
- Health benefits. Organic produce contains less chemicals than nonorganic. This makes it less likely to cause allergies or sensitivities. It also means you're consuming fewer toxins and carcinogens.
- Eco-friendliness. Produce grown without pesticides and synthetic fertilizer requires very little water. Because conventional farming requires so much energy, organic farms are usually located far from places where pollution is high. That helps reduce air pollution.
- Sustainability. Organic farming relies less on chemical fertilizers and more on soil fertility. This results with healthier soils with greater organic matter. The rotation of crops and the letting of land fallow can improve soil health. Strong immune systems develop when farm animals are fed only grasses grown without antibiotics or added hormones.
- Taste. Traditional fruits and vegetables are often bland due to the fact that they are picked at peak ripeness and shipped long distances for grocery stores. Organic produce tastes richer and sweeter because it was harvested while still unripe.
- Nutrition. Many conventional processed foods contain harmful substances like BPA and GMOs. 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.
