Frequently Asked Questions
How can you tell if food is organic?
Any chef will tell you fresh ingredients are more important than any other ingredient. Because we feel better when we eat well.
This is true for food as well. When we buy organics, we know exactly where it came from and how it was grown. It was not treated with harmful chemicals.
Organic foods can be made without synthetic pesticides. These substances are not allowed for organic farmers.
However, organic farming is not an easy task. There are many safe ways to grow them.
Many people refer to organic agriculture as sustainable agriculture. 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 techniques include crop rotation and cover cropping. These techniques reduce soil erosion and increase water quality.
They reduce the amount of chemical runoff that can enter waterways. Many of us live in urban areas so we have access to local farms that produce organic produce.
There are two types certified programs for organic products. One is certified under the USDA National Organic Program. The other is certified independently by certifying authorities. Both require strict conformity to organic standards.
USDA seals or O Seals can be applied to organic products. This symbol indicates that the product meets federal requirements.
What is organic food?
Organic produce is produced without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. There is no use of growth hormones and no animal testing. These crops can be grown naturally by farmers, and they don't need to be treated with chemicals to control pests or weeds.
Organic farming practices can also preserve soil quality by reducing erosion, and conserving water resources. Organics have more nutrients than traditional food, which makes them better for our health. Organic foods are often higher in fiber, lower in fat, and less calories than those produced conventionally.
What is organic meat?
Organic meat means real food, grown without artificial fertilizers or pesticides. Organic meat is also a guarantee that the animals weren’t fed any genetically altered feed. This makes it safe for human consumption because there aren't any harmful chemicals in the meat.
Organic meats are good for the environment. We reduce the amount of pollution in our rivers, lakes, and landfills by eating organic food. We also help protect wildlife because organic farmers usually do not use toxic chemicals that kill insects and birds.
The best way to ensure that you eat healthy organic meats is to buy them locally whenever possible. Local purchases help keep more money within the community than traveling out of state. Local businesses often offer discounts to their customers by shopping locally. Buy local to save jobs and not send them overseas.
Statistics
- Nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids were up to 50 percent higher in organic meats and milk than in conventionally raised products.[3] (en.wikipedia.org)
- Cosmetic brands such as Laurel and Rose Mira are 100 percent organic and have a wide array of skincare products. (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)
- 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)

How To
5 Reasons Why You Should Buy Organic Products
Organic foods are free from pesticides and synthetic fertilisers. They don't contain any genetically modified organisms or irradiated foods. Their production methods do not involve sewage sludge 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 hormones or anti-biotics. They are also produced in conditions that enable them to preserve their nutritional value, freshness, and quality for longer periods.
- Health benefits. Nonorganic produce is more chemically-laden than organic. This means that organic produce is less likely cause allergic reactions and sensitivities. This means you're also consuming less toxic and carcinogens.
- Eco-friendliness. Produce grown without synthetic fertilizer and pesticides requires very little water. Because it takes so much energy to grow conventionally, organic farms tend to be located far away from urban areas where there's plenty of pollution. This reduces air pollution.
- Sustainability. Organic farming relies on soil fertility, rather than chemical fertilisers. This results in healthier soils and higher levels organic matter. Rotating crops and allowing the soil to rest between harvests improves soil health. When farm animals eat only grasses and grains raised without any added hormones or antibiotics, they develop strong immune systems.
- Taste. Due to being picked at peak quality, vegetables and fruits are often bland. Organic produce tastes sweeter and more rich because it was picked when it was still young.
- Nutrition. GMOs and BPA can be found in many processed foods. Avoid these harmful chemicals by eating whole foods, such as meat, eggs and fish, seeds, legumes, fruits, vegetables, herbs, and beans.
