Frequently Asked Questions
Organic foods are better for us.
According to the Environmental Working Group's latest report on pesticide residues in foods, organic fruits and vegetables had nearly half the level of pesticides compared with non-organic versions. Organic strawberries contained four times more pesticides that their conventional counterparts, and organic apples contained eight percent less.
Studies have also shown that organic foods reduce the risk of mercury and lead poisoning. One study revealed that children who ate organic meat had 33 per cent lower blood lead levels than their counterparts who didn't eat organic meats. A second study found that conventional fish should be avoided by pregnant women due to the high levels of mercury.
Organic food tends to be healthier than nonorganic. Experts recommend fresh vegetables and fruits whenever possible in order to reduce the risk of getting cancer.
What are the benefits of organic fruits?
Organic foods are free of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. They contain more nutrients such vitamins A, C. E, and, in some cases, omega-3 oils. Organic food is healthier for the environment and our bodies.
Organic foods are produced with sustainable farming practices that promote soil quality and biological diversity. They are free of harmful chemicals and sewage sludge.
While most consumers associate organics with produce, many organic products include dairy, meat, poultry, eggs, baked goods, personal care items, pet food, and household cleaning supplies.
According to the USDA, "organic" means that crops are raised in compliance with federal standards. Non-organic methods cannot be used by farmers to grow these foods. They can use approved natural pest control methods such as crop rotation, cover cropping and organic animal feed.
The farmer must also follow the guidelines for how much fertilizer and insecticide he uses throughout the growing season. He must also rotate his fields among different crops. GMOs, synthetic insecicides, artificial growth hormones or synthetic fertilizers can't be used by farmers.
Fruits and vegetables labelled "100% organic" meet all the requirements above. However, some farms won't claim that their products are 100% organic. This would confuse the consumers. They will instead label their product "made with organic ingredients." "
Are there health benefits to eating organic food?
While organic foods may not be suitable for everyone's health, they are healthy for some people. However, regular consumption of organic foods can have health benefits.
Organic food is produced without artificial fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, hormones, antibiotics, or genetic engineering. 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.
Studies have shown that organic foods are more nutritious and rich in antioxidants than fruits and veggies grown from conventional sources.
Even though organic farming methods can be more costly than conventional farming methods they are often more productive. Organic farming increases soil fertility and biodiversity.
This helps to prevent erosion and conserve water resources. Organic farms require less fuel and energy because they don't contain toxic chemicals.
Some people worry that organic foods are more expensive than conventional ones. Prices will vary depending where you live. For example, organic apples are generally more expensive than conventional apples.
You'll be able to see the difference in price if you add up all of the fruits in a single basket.
Should you buy organic?
It all depends upon who you are. You shouldn't bother if you don't enjoy organic food.
However, if you enjoy good-tasting food, you can buy organic food. Organic foods are safer as most commercial growers use chemical fertilisers, pesticides, or genetically modified species (GMOs) to produce their crops.
Organic agriculture preserves our environment by conserving natural resource and encouraging biodiversity.

How To
What You Should 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. The food must not contain artificial flavours, colours, flavour enhancements, or preservatives. It should not include genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
In 1845, Justus Von Liebig, an aspiring chemist and entrepreneur, created the term "organic" to describe the properties found in manure. The term organic is often associated with food production. Organic simply means the product is made from only naturally occurring substances such proteins, carbohydrate, and minerals.
Globally, organic product consumption has increased significantly over the last decade. Recent statistics show that around half of the world's population consumes at most one organic product per day. This percentage is increasing and will reach 70%, 80% and 90% by 2020.
There are many reasons consumers choose organic products. Some like the taste, others prefer them because they believe organic produce is healthier, while some think organic farming is more environmentally friendly. 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. Organic food prices are affected by many factors. One factor is whether there are enough land available for organic farming. Another factor is the cost of inputs, labour and materials required for organic agriculture. Transportation costs, marketing expenses, and taxes are all factors. For example, in Europe, the average price of organic food is 10% higher than the regular price.
