How To
What you need to know about organic foods
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. Food must not contain artificial colours, flavour enhancers or preservatives. It should not contain genetically modified animals (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.
The consumption of organic foods has risen dramatically in the past decades. According to statistics, approximately 50% of the world’s population consumes at minimum one organic product each day. This figure is on the rise and it is predicted to grow to 70%, 88%, and 90% in 2020.
There are many reasons consumers choose organic products. Some prefer the flavor, while others prefer them because they are healthier. Others also believe organic farming makes it more sustainable. Non-organic products are often chosen because they do not pose ethical issues regarding the treatment of farm workers or animals.
While organic food is generally more expensive than traditional foods, prices do vary depending upon where you live. There are many factors that affect the cost of organic food. One factor is whether there are enough land available for organic farming. Another factor is the price of inputs as well as labour for organic farming. Transport costs, marketing costs and taxes are also important. The average European price for organic food is 10% lower than the regular price.
