Frequently Asked Questions
What are some things I should look out for when purchasing organic goods?
USDA-certified organic labels are desirable. This seal signifies that the product meets specific USDA standards. Look out for the USDA Organic seal on boxes, cartons cans and jars.
When shopping for meat ensure it comes only from cows that are fed 100% organic feed. Cattle are ruminants. They eat the whole animal. Ruminant cattle have four stomach compartments: rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. Organic feeding must be done on all organs of the animal in order to get the cow labelled organic 100 percent.
Buy chicken from only organic chickens that have been fed 100% organic food and are not given antibiotics. Omnivore chickens can eat both plants as well as animals. Omnivorous chickens possess a digestive tract made up of a crop.
You should ensure you only buy dairy products made from milk that has been produced by cows who have been fed 100% organically grown food. Dairy cows have four stomach compartments, just like ruminants. The fourth stomach, or the udder is where you get milk.
If you are buying other types of livestock, make sure to check the label to determine the percentage of their diet. A label for pork might say "95% organic", which means that 95% of the feed used by the pork came from organic sources.
What is the difference between organic and inorganic foods?
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 food is grown with pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Radiation is used to treat irradiated food; biological engineering techniques are used to create genetically modified organisms (GMO).
Sometimes, the term "natural", is used interchangeably with "organic." But, "natural" does not necessarily refer to organic. You may also find products that are labeled as "natural", which could contain synthetic ingredients.
Because organic produce contains fewer harmful chemicals, pesticides, and fertilizers than conventional produce it is more nutritious. Organic farmers are free from artificial fertilizers and pesticides.
What are the advantages of organic farming?
Organic farming offers farmers a method of growing food that doesn't require the use of chemicals. Farmers don't need to worry that harmful pesticides could harm their crops or animals.
Organic farming can also use natural fertilizers. These fertilizers help to grow healthy plants and help to reduce the amount of chemical waste produced.
Organic farming is also environmentally friendly. Farmers often use composting techniques to recycle nutrients back into the soil. This reduces pollutants and conserves precious resources.
Organic farming also helps the environment by increasing crop yields. This is due to the fact that organic farming uses much less water during growth season.
Organic farming methods can also result in higher prices for farmers' produce. Healthier foods are demanded by consumers who are more aware of the dangers posed by pesticides and chemical fertilisers.
This increases demand for organic food products. Organic farming is becoming more popular because of this.

How To
What Organic Foods Are You Looking For?
Organic foods are produced from plants and animals that have been grown without the use of pesticides, chemical fertilizers or other additives. They can't be genetically modified or exposed to ionizing radiation. The food must not contain artificial flavours, colours, flavour enhancements, or preservatives. It must not contain genetically altered organisms (GMOs).
The term "organic" was first used in 1845 when chemist Justus von Liebig coined the word "organisch" meaning life-giving, to describe the properties of manure. The term organic is often associated with food production. In this context, organic means that the product contains only naturally occurring substances such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and minerals that occur in nature.
Over the past decade, organic products have seen a dramatic increase in consumption. According to recent statistics, around 50% of the world's population consumes at least one organic product daily. This percentage continues to rise and is projected to increase by 70%, 80%, or 90% by 2020.
There are many reasons consumers choose organic products. Organic produce can be preferred for its taste; others prefer them for being healthier. Some people believe organic farming to be more environmentally friendly. Non-organic products are often chosen because they do not pose ethical issues regarding the treatment of farm workers or animals.
Organic food tends to be more expensive that conventional foods, but prices can vary depending upon the country or region. There are many factors that influence the cost of organic foods. One factor is the availability land suitable for organic agricultural. Another factor is the cost of inputs, labour and materials required for organic agriculture. The cost of transportation, marketing, and taxes are just a few other factors. In Europe, for instance, the average price for organic food in Europe is 10% higher than its regular price.
