How To
What you should know about organic food
Organic foods are those that come from plants or animals, and do not contain any chemical pesticides, fertilizers, or additives. They are produced without genetic engineering or the application of ionizing radiation. Food must not contain artificial colours, flavour enhancers 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. Nowadays, most people associate the term organic with the production of food. 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. According to recent statistics, about 50% of the global population consumes at-least one organic product every day. This percentage continues to rise and is projected to increase by 70%, 80%, or 90% by 2020.
There are many reasons that organic products are chosen by consumers. Some prefer the flavor, while others prefer them because they are healthier. Others also believe organic farming makes it more sustainable. However, there are also ethical concerns regarding the treatment of farm workers and animals, which is why some consumers opt for non-organic products.
Organic foods are usually more expensive than conventional ones, although prices vary depending on countries and regions. Organic food prices are affected by many factors. One is the availability and cost of land that can be used for organic agriculture. Another factor is the price of inputs as well as labour for organic farming. The cost of transportation, marketing, and taxes are just a few other factors. The average price of organic food in Europe is 10% less than regular.
