Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between organic foods and inorganic food?
Organic food does not contain pesticides, chemical fertilisers, sewage waste, irradiation, genetic modification. Organic farming practices promote soil health, water quality and animal welfare.
Inorganic foods may be grown with chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or sewage sludge. Irradiated foods are treated with radiation; genetically modified organisms (GMO) are created through biological engineering techniques.
The term "natural", often used interchangeably to mean "organic," is frequently used. However, natural does not necessarily mean organic. Natural products can also be labeled with synthetic ingredients.
Organic produce is often more nutritious than conventional produce, as the soil has fewer pesticides and harmful chemicals. Organic farmers do not use pesticides, artificial fertilizers, hormones, anti-biotics, and other harmful chemicals.
Why should you buy organic?
Conventional agriculture has been linked with many health problems including asthma, allergies. It is important to make informed choices about food purchases.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG), offers these tips to help you choose "cleaner" foods:
As much as possible, purchase organic fruits or vegetables
Look for USDA organic labels on meat, poultry, eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, and honey.
Avoid processed foods marked "natural" or with "no additives."
Be sure to read all ingredient labels. If an ingredient isn’t listed, it might be added during processing.
It is better to eat fresh meats than canned or frozen. Canned and frozen foods can often have lower nutritional content like high fructose syrup.
What is organic?
Organic meat is food that has not been treated with pesticides or artificial fertilizers. It also means the animals were not fed any genetically modified foods. Because there are no harmful chemicals in the meat, it is safe for human consumption.
Organic meats are also healthier for the environment. Organic foods reduce pollution in rivers, lakes and landfills. We also help protect wildlife because organic farmers usually do not use toxic chemicals that kill insects and birds.
It is best to buy organic meats locally as much as possible. Local purchases help keep more money within the community than traveling out of state. Local businesses often pass savings on to customers who shop locally. In addition, buying local keeps jobs right here in America instead of sending them overseas.
Why is organic food so important?
It is essential for our health to eat organic produce. It's the best way to ensure we eat nutritious foods. It's not only better for us but also it's more sustainable as it doesn't rely upon pesticides and fertilers.
Organic farming uses natural methods for growing crops without using harmful chemicals. Organic farming is safer for animals and humans because it produces fewer pollutants. Organic food is a way to help the environment and protect yourself.
The benefits of organic food go beyond our health, though. We all know the negative effects that processed foods can have on our health. But did you know that most organic fruits and vegetables aren't treated with chemical spray either? This means they are more fresh tasting, last longer and look better.
That's why eating organic matters so much. Organic food is not only healthier for you but also for the whole world.
Statistics
- Popular clothing brands, like Patagonia, are labelled as organic by using 100 percent organic cotton for many of their styles. (en.wikipedia.org)
- Once certified by the USDA, it can fall into one of four categories: "100 percent organic", "organic," "made with organic ingredients," or "made with less than 70 percent organic ingredients. (en.wikipedia.org)
- As for organic meat, regulations require that animals be raised in living conditions that accommodate their natural behaviours (like the ability to graze on pasture), fed 100% organic feed and forage, and not administered antibiotics or hormones. (usda.gov)
- Brands participating in this challenge are committed to using 100 percent sustainable cotton by 2025.[5] (en.wikipedia.org)

How To
What You Should Know About Organic Foods
Organic foods are made from animals and plants without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. They can be produced without the use of genetic engineering or ionizing radiation. The food must not contain artificial flavours, colours, flavour enhancements, or preservatives. It must not contain genetically altered organisms (GMOs).
When Justus von Liebig, a chemical chemist, coined "organic", which means "life-giving," to describe the properties in manure, the term "organic" was used for the first time. The term organic is often associated 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.
The consumption of organic foods has risen dramatically in the past decades. Recent statistics indicate that approximately half of the world’s population eats at least one organic food per day. This figure is on the rise and it is predicted to grow to 70%, 88%, and 90% in 2020.
There are many reasons why 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.
Organic food tends to be more expensive that conventional foods, but prices can vary depending upon the country or region. Organic food prices are affected by many factors. One factor is the availability of land suitable for organic agriculture. Another is the cost of inputs and labour needed for organic cultivation. Transport costs, marketing costs and taxes are also important. The average price of organic food in Europe is 10% less than regular.
