Frequently Asked Questions
What are the health benefits of organic farming
Organic farming allows farmers to produce food using only natural methods. Farmers don't need to worry that harmful pesticides could harm their crops or animals.
Organic farming also allows for more natural fertilizers. These fertilizers are good for plants that are healthy and reduce chemical waste.
Organic farming is also beneficial for the environment. To recycle nutrients back into soil, farmers often resort to composting. This reduces the risk of pollution and helps conserve precious resources.
Organic farming is good for the environment and increases crop yields. Because organic farming uses less water during the growing season, this is why it is so successful.
Organic farming methods can also result in higher prices for farmers' produce. Consumers who are more aware about the dangers associated with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and other chemicals will choose healthier foods.
This leads to a greater demand for organic food products. Organic farming is becoming more popular because of this.
What are the top organic products?
Today, organic foods are the fastest-growing industries. We've come far from our roots but there is still room for improvement.
Organic products are the future. They are safer, better for our environment, and more affordable for consumers.
They are also generally more expensive. That's why we created the Organic Food Index. We wanted the ability to identify which foods are currently most popular and whether these trends have changed.
These findings show that organic foods are becoming more popular. Between 2011-2012, nearly half of Americans shopped for organic foods.
The USDA reports that organic production increased 10% last year. Organic food now makes up 9% U.S. agriculture output.
Organic food is growing in popularity but is still expensive. According to the Organic Trade Association (OTA), average retail prices for organic food are almost double those of conventional alternatives.
That said, organic food is growing faster than any other segment of the food sector. You can see that organic food has been steadily increasing since 2009.
According to OTA the volume of organic products sold at supermarkets grew by 14% in 2010 and 2011.
This is because consumers are looking for healthier foods. Organic food sales have been increasing in all age groups.
However, younger generations are leading the charge when choosing organic food. Millennials are twice as likely to buy organic food compared to baby boomers. The 25% of organic food purchase made by younger adults below 35 are made up of young adults.
What is organic meat?
Organic meat is real food grown without pesticides, artificial fertilizers, or hormones. This also means that animals weren't given any genetically modified feed. Because there are no harmful chemicals in the meat, it is safe for human consumption.
Organic meats are better for the environment. Eating organic foods helps reduce pollution in the environment, such as rivers and lakes. Organic farmers don't use harmful chemicals to kill birds and insects, which helps wildlife.
You can eat organic meats and produce whenever you can. Local buying helps to keep money in the community, rather than moving out of state. Local businesses often pass savings on to customers who shop locally. Buy local to save jobs and not send them overseas.
Are organic foods better?
The Environmental Working Group's most recent report on pesticide residues found in food shows that organic fruits and veggies had almost half the pesticide content of non-organic. They found that organic apples contained eight times fewer pesticides than non-organic apples, while organic strawberries were four times cleaner than their conventional counterparts.
Other studies suggest that eating organic food reduces exposure to toxic metals like lead and mercury. 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 that fresh produce and vegetables be used whenever possible to reduce your chances of developing cancer.
What should I be looking out for when shopping organic products
Look for USDA-certified organic labels. This guarantee that the product has met specific standards set forth by USDA. On all packages, boxes and cartons, look for the USDA Organic seal.
When shopping for meat, ensure it comes from cows fed 100% organic feed. Ruminants are cattle that chew their cud. Ruminant cattle have four stomach compartments: rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. All parts of an animal must be organically fed if the cow is going to be labelled '100% organic.'
You should only purchase chicken that has been raised organically. It must not have ever been treated with antibiotics. Chickens can eat both animal and plant food. Omnivorous chickens have a digestive system that includes a crop (proventriculus), gizzard and small intestine.
It is important to ensure that dairy products are from cows that were fed 100% organic feed. Like ruminants, dairy cattle have four stomachs. The fourth stomach compartment, the udder, is where milk comes from.
To find out the percent of the feed the animals received when you purchase other types livestock, be sure to read the labels. A label for pork might say "95% organic", which means that 95% of the feed used by the pork came from organic sources.

How To
What You Should Know About Organic Foods
Organic foods come from plants and animals without chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or additives. They are produced without genetic engineering or the application of ionizing radiation. The food must contain no artificial ingredients, colourings, flavour enhancers, or preservatives. It must not contain 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. Most people associate organic 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. Recent statistics indicate that approximately half of the world’s population eats at least one organic food per day. This percentage is increasing and will reach 70%, 80% and 90% by 2020.
There are many reasons that organic products are chosen by consumers. Organic products are preferred by many people for their taste and health. Some also prefer organic produce because of the higher quality. Others believe that organic farming is more sustainable. There are ethical concerns regarding farm workers and animals. This is why some people choose organic products.

Other factors include transportation costs, marketing costs, and taxes. In Europe, for example, organic food prices are 10% more than regular food.
