Frequently Asked Questions

Do organic foods offer health benefits?

Although organic foods are not for everyone, they can be very healthy. But for those who eat them regularly, there are definite health benefits.

Organic food is grown without the use of pesticides herbicides fungicides hormones antibiotics or genetic engineering. Organic produce is free from harmful chemicals that could cause harm to human health.

Organic products also have fewer additives. Organic products are more nutritious than those made from non-organic ingredients.

Research shows that organic produce contains more nutrients and antioxidants compared to conventionally grown fruit and vegetables.

Even though organic farming methods can be more costly than conventional farming methods they are often more productive. When farmers grow crops organically, they encourage soil fertility and biodiversity.

This helps preserve water resources and prevents erosion. Organic farms don't use toxic chemicals and require less fuel and energy.

Some people fear that organic foods can be more costly than conventional foods. Prices can vary depending on where you live. For example, organic apples can be more costly than conventional apples.

But if you look at the total price of a basket of both types of fruit, you'll see that buying organic is cheaper.

So should you go organic?

It all depends on who you are. If organic food doesn't appeal to you, you shouldn't bother.

You can still buy organic food if your preference is for good tasting food. Organic food is safer than traditional commercial produce, as they are not subject to chemical pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

Organic agriculture preserves our environment by conserving natural resource and encouraging biodiversity.

Organic meat is better

If you've been paying any attention, you likely already know the answer. The problem is that organic food is increasingly popular, but conventional food continues its decline.

Organic foods continue rising in popularity because they are healthier. Organic products are healthier for us and the environment.

However, this coin has two sides. Organic produce takes longer to grow, and it requires more resources. Organic food is more expensive than non-organic.

Organic meats tend to be more expensive than those raised conventionally. However, there are ways to reduce these costs without sacrificing quality.

Buy local to save money. Buying locally grown fruits and vegetables helps keep prices low because farmers receive incentives to grow healthy crops.

You can also look for deals to reduce costs. Many organic products can be purchased at a discount.

Finally, another way to save money is by eating less meat. Because of the amount of feed required to raise livestock, meat production can become expensive.

There are many reasons organic foods are better for our bodies and the environment, but we need to be mindful of the cost.

What are organic fruit?

Organic foods do not use pesticides, artificial fertilizers, hormones or antibiotics. Organic foods contain more nutrients like vitamins A, C and E, as well as omega-3 fatty oils. Organic food is better for the earth and our bodies because of these healthy ingredients.

Organic foods are grown using sustainable farming practices that preserve soil quality and encourage biological diversity. They are free from harmful chemicals, radiation, and sewage sludge.

Organics are often associated with produce. However, organic products can include dairy, meat, poultry and eggs as well as personal care items and pet food.

"Organic" is defined by the USDA as crops that have been grown following strict guidelines set forth in federal government standards. This means that farmers can't use non-organic methods of growing these foods. However, they can use approved organic pest control methods like crop rotation and covering cropping or animal feed made with organic materials.

In addition, the farmer must follow guidelines regarding how much fertilizer and pesticide he uses during the growing season and rotate his fields between various crops. GMOs, artificial growthhormones, synthetic insecticides, and synthetic fertilizers cannot be used by farmers.

All the above requirements are met by vegetables and fruits that are labeled "100% Organic". However, some farms won't claim that their products are 100% organic. This would confuse the consumers. Instead, they will call their product "made using organic ingredients." "
