Frequently Asked Questions
What are the health benefits of organic foods?
While organic foods may not be suitable for everyone's health, they are healthy for some people. There are certain health benefits to those who consume organic foods regularly.
Organic food is free from artificial fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides as well as hormones, antibiotics and genetic engineering. Organic produce is free from harmful chemicals that could cause harm to human health.
Also, there are fewer additives that are used in processing. Organic products are healthier than those that use additives during processing.
Research shows that organic produce contains more nutrients and antioxidants compared to conventionally grown fruit and vegetables.
While organic farming is more expensive than traditional farming, it often produces better results. Organic farming promotes soil fertility as well as biodiversity.
This helps prevent erosion and conserve water. Organic farms do not require toxic chemicals to operate. They also use less energy and fuel.
Some people fear that organic foods can be more costly than conventional foods. However, prices will vary depending on where one lives. Organic apples, for example, are more expensive than regular apples.
But if you look at the total price of a basket of both types of fruit, you'll see that buying organic is cheaper.
Should you buy organic?
It all depends on your personality. Organic food is not for you if you don’t like it.
You can still buy organic food if your preference is for good tasting food. Organic foods are safer as most commercial growers use chemical fertilisers, pesticides, or genetically modified species (GMOs) to produce their crops.
Organic agriculture helps to protect the environment by conserving natural resources, and promoting biodiversity.
What is the difference between organic and inorganic foods?
Organic food does not contain pesticides, chemical fertilisers, sewage waste, irradiation, genetic modification. Organic farming practices support soil health, water quality, and animal welfare.
Inorganic foods are grown with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and sewage sludge. Radiated foods can be treated with radiation. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are created by biological engineering techniques.
The term "natural" is often used interchangeably with "organic." But natural does not necessarily imply organic. There are also products labelled "natural" which may contain synthetic ingredients.
Organic produce is typically more nutritious than conventional produce because the soil contains fewer harmful chemicals and pesticides. Organic farmers also don't use synthetic fertilizers or hormones, pesticides, or antibiotics.
How do you determine if food has been grown organically?
Any chef will tell you fresh ingredients are more important than any other ingredient. It's because we feel better when food is well-prepared.
This is true for food as well. We know where our organic food came from and how it has been grown. We also know it was not treated using harmful chemicals.
Organic food is produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. These substances are not allowed for organic farmers.
There is no art in growing organic crops. You have many options to safely grow them.
Sustainable agriculture is sometimes called organic farming. This means that organic farming does not use as many resources as conventional methods, but it still provides the essential nutrients needed to sustain life.
Organic farming practices include crop rotation, composting manure, cover cropping, and intercropping. These techniques reduce soil erosion and increase water quality.
They also reduce chemical contamination of waterways. Many of us live in urban areas so we have access to local farms that produce organic produce.
There are two types for organic products certification. One is certified through the USDA National Organic Program and the other by independent certifying agents. Both require strict conformity to organic standards.
USDA seals and O Seals may be used to identify organic products that meet federal standards.

How To
Five Reasons to Purchase Organic Products
Organic food is grown without synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. They are free from genetically modified organisms and irradiated substances. They are not made with sewage sludge, industrial solvents, or any other chemical substances. During its growing cycle, the food's natural environment will be protected from contamination. It is free from artificial additives and preservatives. There is no use hormones or anti-biotics. In addition, they are produced under conditions that allow them to retain their nutritional value and freshness for longer periods.
- Health benefits. Organic produce contains fewer chemicals than nonorganic produce. This means it's less likely to cause allergies and sensitivities. You also consume fewer toxic substances and carcinogens.
- Eco-friendliness. Produce grown without pesticides and synthetic fertilizer requires very little water. Organic farms are often located far from areas with high levels of pollution because it takes so much energy for conventional agriculture to grow. This helps to reduce air pollution.
- Sustainability. Organic farming relies more on soil fertility than chemical fertilizers. This results is healthier soils with higher organic matter. It is better for soil health to rotate crops and allow the land to fallow regularly. Farm animals develop strong immune systems when they eat only grasses/grains raised without adding hormones or antibiotics.
- Taste. Conventional fruits and vegetables often taste bland because they're picked at peak ripeness, then shipped long distances to grocery stores. Organic produce is sweeter and richer because it was harvested at the peak of its ripeness.
- Nutrition. GMOs and BPA can be found in many processed foods. These harmful substances can be avoided by sticking to whole foods like meat, eggs, fish and nuts as well as seeds, beans, fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
