How can you tell whether food is organic?
Ask any chef and he will tell you that fresh ingredients are the most important thing. We feel better when our food is good.
This holds true for 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 food does not contain synthetic pesticides, fertilers, hormones or antibiotics. Organic farmers aren't allowed to use these substances.
Growing organic crops is an art. You have many options to safely grow them.
Organic farming is often called sustainable agriculture. This means that while it uses fewer resources than conventional methods, it provides the necessary nutrients to sustain life.
Crop rotation, crop rotation, cover cropping and composting manure are all organic farming methods. These practices help to prevent soil erosion and improve water purity.
They reduce chemical runoff from waterways. Many of us live in urban areas so we have access to local farms that produce organic produce.
Two types of organic product certification programs exist. One is certified through the USDA National Organic Program and the other by independent certifying agents. Both require strict compliance with organic standards.
USDA seals and O Seals may be used to identify organic products that meet federal standards.
What's the difference between organic foods and inorganic food?
Organic food is grown without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers, sewage effluent, radiation, or genetic modification. Organic farming practices contribute to soil health, water purity, and animal welfare.
Inorganic foods can be grown using pesticides, chemical fertilizers and sewage sludge. Radiation is used to treat irradiated food; biological engineering techniques are used to create genetically modified organisms (GMO).
The term "natural", often used interchangeably to mean "organic," is frequently used. But natural does not necessarily imply organic. Products labelled "natural", however, may contain synthetic chemicals.
Organic produce is often more nutritious than conventional produce, as the soil has fewer pesticides and harmful chemicals. Organic farmers also don't use synthetic fertilizers or hormones, pesticides, or antibiotics.
Is organic meat better?
If you've been paying any attention, you likely already know the answer. Here's the problem: Organic food is becoming more sought-after, while traditional food continues to decline in popularity.
Organic foods continue rising in popularity because they are healthier. Organic products are not only safer for our health but also reduce pollution and waste.
There are two sides to the coin. Organic produce takes more time to grow and requires greater resources. Organic food can be more expensive than its nonorganic counterpart.
Organic meats can be more expensive that those from conventionally raised animals. But there are ways to cut costs without sacrificing quality.
One way to save money is to buy locally. Locally grown fruits and veggies help to lower prices because farmers get incentives to grow good crops.
You can also look for deals to reduce costs. There are often discounts offered when purchasing organics.
Another way to save money? Eat less meat. Because of the amount of feed required to raise livestock, meat production can become expensive.
While there are many reasons organic food is better for our bodies as well as the planet, we must not forget the cost.

How To
What happens to your body if you switch to organic products
Organic products are grown without pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics, or genetic manipulation. They are derived from clean water and animals that have been free to roam. They are organic because they don't contain any additives or chemicals. This product was produced by nature and therefore contains no harmful substances.
Natural means how food is grown. It's used to describe foods that have not been altered into their final form (e.g. fruits). Natural foods are often fresher than others because they haven't been treated with heat, radiation, or chemical preservatives. Some people don't believe that natural means healthy. Experts believe there is no difference in organic and conventional food. Both types have been tested for quality and safety. But organic produce has fewer pollutants and pesticide residues than conventionally grown produce.
Most grocery stores offer organic options. Organic meat, poultry or eggs can be found at most local markets. Some companies only sell organic products. Others have separate sections. Look for USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Biodynamic Association Certified, Rainforest Alliance Certified, etc.
These items should be avoided if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. Unborn babies and infants can be exposed to pesticides.
