Frequently Asked Questions

How do you know if your food is organic?

Ask any chef and he will tell you that fresh ingredients are the most important thing. This is because eating well makes us feel better.

The same goes for our food. Organics can be traced back to their source and whereabouts. We also know that it wasn't treated with harmful chemicals.

Organic foods can be made without synthetic pesticides. Organic farmers aren't allowed to use these substances.

There is no art in growing organic crops. You have many options to safely grow them.

Sometimes, organic farming is called sustainable agriculture. This means that while it uses fewer resources than conventional methods, it provides the necessary nutrients to sustain life.

Organic farming techniques include crop rotation and cover cropping. These practices help to prevent soil erosion and improve water purity.

They reduce the amount of chemical runoff that can enter waterways. Local farms can be found in cities that raise organic produce.

There are two types certified programs for organic products. One is certified through the USDA National Organic Program and the other by independent certifying agents. Both require strict adherence to organic standards.

USDA seals and O Seals may be used to identify organic products that meet federal standards.

Does organic mean that it is not sprayed with pesticides?

Organic food is naturally chemical-free and grows without pesticides. This means that organic food is not exposed to pesticides or fertilizers.

Because organic produce is free of harmful additives, it also has more nutrients than conventionally grown foods.

The USDA National Organic Program requires that organic farming practices be followed by farmers.

These guidelines address soil preparation, crop rotations, pest control, water conservation, harvesting, and other practices.

In addition, organic farming methods promote healthy ecosystems, which benefit wildlife and natural habitats.

Why should I go organic?

Many health issues have been linked to conventional agriculture, including obesity, diabetes and cancer. You must make healthy choices when buying food.

The Environmental Working Group (EWG), offers these tips to help you choose "cleaner" foods:

When possible, buy organic fruits and veggies

Look for USDA organic labels on meat, poultry, eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, and honey.

Avoid processed foods that are labeled "natural" or "no added ingredients."

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. Cans and frozen foods are often less nutritious than fresh meats, such as high fructose corn syrup.

What are my top priorities when buying organic products

USDA-certified organic label are desirable. This certification means that the product is certified organic by USDA. Look out for the USDA Organic seal on boxes, cartons cans and jars.

When shopping for meat ensure it comes only from cows that are fed 100% organic feed. Cattle are ruminants which means that they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle have four stomach areas: rumen (reticulum), omasum (omasum), and abomasum. If a cow is to be labeled organically, all parts must be organically fed.

Make sure you only buy chicken from chicken farms that are fed organically and have never been given antibiotics. Omnivore chickens eat both animals and plants. Omnivorous chickens have a digestive system that includes a crop (proventriculus), gizzard and small intestine.

Buy dairy products that are 100% organically produced. Just like ruminants have four stomachs, dairy cows have four. The fourth stomach, or the udder is where you get milk.

To find out the percent of the feed the animals received when you purchase other types livestock, be sure to read the labels. For example, pork may be labelled '95% organic.' This means 95 percent of the pig's feed came from organic sources.

Which organic products are most in demand?

Today organic food is the fastest-growing sector. However, we still have a lot to learn from our roots.

Organic products will be the future. Organic products are safer, more sustainable, and cheaper for consumers.

However, they are also more expensive. That's why we created the Organic Food Index. We wanted to know which foods are popular today and whether trends are changing.

The results of the study show that organic food has become more popular. Between 2011 & 2012, almost half of Americans purchased organic food.

The USDA reports that organic production increased 10% last year. The U.S. now produces 9% of its agricultural output from organic food.

Organic food is certainly on the rise but consumers are still not able to afford it. According to the Organic Trade Association (OTA), average retail prices for organic food are almost double those of conventional alternatives.

However, organic food is growing more quickly than any other part of the food market. If you look closely at the data, it will be apparent that organic food consumption has steadily increased since 2009.

In fact, according to OTA, the volume of organic products sold in supermarkets grew by 14% between 2010 and 2011.

This is because consumers are looking for healthier foods. Organic food sales have been increasing in all age groups.

However, the younger generation is leading the charge in choosing organic food. Millennials are twice as likely to buy organic food compared to baby boomers. 25 percent of organic food purchases are made by young adults younger than 35.

What is the difference between organic and inorganic foods?

Organic food is produced without pesticides, chemical fertilizers, sewage sludge, irradiation, or genetic modification. Organic farming practices are good for soil health, water quality, animal welfare, and the environment.

Inorganic foods are grown with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and sewage sludge. Irradiated foods are treated with radiation; genetically modified organisms (GMO) are created through biological engineering techniques.

"Natural" is sometimes used interchangeably in the context of "organic." Natural does not always mean organic. Products labelled "natural", however, may contain synthetic chemicals.

Organic produce is typically more nutritious than conventional produce because the soil contains fewer harmful chemicals and pesticides. In addition, organic farmers do not use artificial fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics, or pesticides.

Statistics

• According to a study performed by consumerreports.org, organic products, compared to non-organic products, ranged anywhere from 13 percent cheaper to 303 percent more expensive. (en.wikipedia.org)
• When packaged products indicate they are “made with organic [specific ingredient or food group],” they contain at least 70% organically produced ingredients. (usda.gov)
• Brands participating in this challenge are committed to using 100 percent sustainable cotton by 2025.[5] (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)

Five Reasons to Purchase Organic Products

Organic foods do not use pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. They do not contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs), or radioactive ingredients. Their production processes do not include sewage or industrial solvents. During the course of its growth cycle, the natural environment of the food is protected from contamination. It is completely free from artificial preservatives, additives, and other harmful chemicals. There is no use of antibiotics or hormones. They are also grown in conditions that ensure they retain their nutritional value for longer periods of time.

1. Health benefits. Nonorganic produce has more chemicals than organic. Organic produce is healthier. This means that it is less likely to cause allergies. This also means that you are consuming less toxins and carcinogens.
2. Eco-friendliness. Produce grown without pesticides and synthetic fertilizer requires very little water. Organic farms are located far from cities where there is a lot of pollution, because they require so much energy to grow. That helps reduce air pollution.
3. Sustainability. Organic farming relies less on chemical fertilizers and more on soil fertility. This results with healthier soils with greater organic matter. It is better for soil health to rotate crops and allow the land to fallow regularly. When farm animals eat only grasses and grains raised without any added hormones or antibiotics, they develop strong immune systems.
4. Taste. The taste of conventional fruits and veggies is often bland. This is because they are picked at the peak of ripeness. They then get shipped long distances to their destination. Because it was picked while still unripe, organic produce is richer and more flavorful.
5. 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.
