Frequently Asked Questions

What are organic foods?

Organic produce does not contain synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and sewage sludge. It is also grown without irradiation or genetic engineering. There is no use of growth hormones and no animal testing. These crops can grow naturally so that farmers don't have to use pesticides or weed control.

Organic farming practices can also preserve soil quality by reducing erosion, and conserving water resources. Organic foods are healthier than conventional foods because they have more nutrients. Organic products are more nutritious than conventionally grown foods and have lower calories and fiber.

What are organic fruits and vegetables?

Organic foods are grown without pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, hormones, or antibiotics. They contain more nutrients such vitamins A, C. E, and, in some cases, omega-3 oils. These nutritious ingredients make organic foods better for our bodies, and for the planet.

Organic foods are grown using sustainable farming practices that preserve soil quality and encourage biological diversity. They are free of harmful chemicals and sewage sludge.

Although organics are most commonly associated with produce, organics can also be found in dairy, meats, poultry, eggs and baked goods.

According to the USDA, "organic" means that crops are raised in compliance with federal standards. Farmers cannot use conventional (non-organic) methods to grow these foods. They can use approved natural pest control methods such as crop rotation, cover cropping and organic animal feed.

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. GMOs (genetically modified organisms), synthetic growth hormones and insecticides as well as synthetic fertilizers are prohibited by farmers.

The requirements for organic fruits and vegetables are met if they are labeled 100 percent organic. But not all farms will label their products 100% organic. That would confuse consumers. Instead, they will label the product as "made from organic ingredients". "

What are the health benefits of organic foods?

Some organic foods may not prove to be good for you. But for those who eat them regularly, there are definite 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.

Also, there are fewer additives that are used in processing. You're more likely to eat organic products than you are non-organic.

Research shows that organic produce contains more nutrients and antioxidants compared to conventionally grown fruit and vegetables.

Organic farming methods are more expensive than conventional methods but they can often produce better results. When farmers grow crops organically, they encourage soil fertility and biodiversity.

This helps protect against erosion and conserve water resources. Plus, because organic farms aren't treated with toxic chemicals, these farms typically require less energy and fuel.

People are worried that organic foods may be more expensive then conventional. However, prices vary depending on where you live. Organic apples, for example, are more expensive than regular apples.

But, if we look at the total cost of a combination of both types and fruits, we'll see organic is much cheaper.

So should you go organic?

It all depends upon who you are. If you don't like the taste of organic food, then you probably shouldn't bother.

Organic food is available if you are a fan of good food. And since most commercial growers use chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs), organic foods are safer for consumers.

Organic agriculture preserves our environment by conserving natural resource and encouraging biodiversity.
