How To
What you should know about organic food
Organic foods are produced from plants and animals that have been grown without the use of pesticides, chemical fertilizers or other additives. They can be produced without the use of genetic engineering or ionizing radiation. Food must not contain artificial colours, flavour enhancers or preservatives. It should not contain genetically modified animals (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 production with food. Organic means the product has only natural substances like proteins, carbohydrates, and fats that are found in nature.
The global consumption of organic products has increased dramatically over the past decade. Recent statistics show that around half of the world's population consumes at most one organic product per day. This number is rising and is expected increase to 70%, 90%, and 80% 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. There are ethical concerns regarding farm workers and animals. This is why some people choose organic products.
Organic food tends to be more expensive that conventional foods, but prices can vary depending upon the country or region. There are many factors that affect the cost of organic food.
