How To
What you should know about organic food
Organic foods are those that come from plants or animals, and do not contain any chemical pesticides, fertilizers, or additives. They are made without genetic engineering and the application of ionizing radiance. The food must not contain artificial flavours, colours, flavour enhancements, or preservatives. It must not contain genetically modified 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. Today, organic is synonymous with food production. Organic refers to products that only contain naturally occurring substances, such as carbohydrates, proteins, and minerals, which are all found in nature.
In the past decades, the consumption of organic products has grown dramatically worldwide. Recent statistics show that around half of the world's population consumes at most one organic product per day. This figure is on the rise and it is predicted to grow to 70%, 88%, and 90% in 2020.
Organic products are preferred for many reasons. Some prefer the flavor, while others prefer them because they are healthier. Others also believe organic farming makes it more sustainable. Some consumers choose non-organic products because of ethical concerns about farm workers' and animal treatment.
Organic foods are more expensive than those made from conventional food, though prices may vary by country and region. There are many factors that affect the cost of organic food. One factor is whether there are enough land available for organic farming. Another is the cost for inputs and labour required to grow organic crops. The cost of transportation, marketing, and taxes are just a few other factors. The average price of organic food in Europe is 10% less than regular.
