ORGANIC FOOD

Organic foods are made according to certain production standards. For the vast majority of human history, agriculture can be described as organic; only during the 20th century was a large supply of new synthetic chemicals introduced to the food supply. This more recent style of production is referred to as "conventional," though organic production has been the convention for a much greater period of time. Under organic production, the use of conventional non-organic pesticides insecticides and herbicides is greatly restricted and saved as a last resort. However, contrary to popular belief, certain non-organic fertilizers are still used ^.If livestock are involved, they must be reared without the routine use of antibiotics and without the use of growth, and generally fed a healthy diet. In most countries, organic produce may not be genetically modified. It has been suggested that the application of nanotechnology to food and agriculture is a further technology that needs to be excluded from certified organic food. The soil association (UK) has been the first organic certifier to implement a nano-exclusion. The chemical manures and fertilizers destroy the soil and its fertility, Soil also needs organic manure (THE COPOST).

        Organic food production is a heavily regulated industry, distinct from private gardening. Currently, the European Union, the United States, Canada, Japan and many other countries require producers to obtain special certification in order to market food as "organic" within their borders. Most certifications allow some chemicals and pesticides to be used, so consumers should be aware of the standards for qualifying as "organic" in their respective locales.

       Historically, organic farms have been relatively small family-run operations, which is why organic food was once only available in small stores or farmer’s market. However, since the early 1990s organic food production has had growth rates of around 20% a year.

                        Of the rest of the food industry, in both developed and developing nations. As organic food accounts for 1–2% of food sales worldwide and the soil is also damaged.  

 

      What are the benefits of buying organic produce? 

        Organic foods have a higher standard for health for several reasons. For starters organic food is not grown with any pesticides or nonorganic fertilizer and my favorite, no human waste fertilizer... Thank you! Another process that is used is called ionizing radiation. This process kills the bacteria but may cause genetic alterations. It is really pretty risky to eat non-organic food when we really have no idea what has been done to it. You can now have your own organic garden and watch it grow via web cam. That way when you get your organic food home delivery you know exactly how it was grown and what it was grown with. 

          Today we have more options for getting organic food. With the internet it may be possible to watch our garden grow via web cam and have organic food home delivery... Amazing! In today’s time, however, organic foods are grown on larger farms and are more readily available in most supermarkets, co-ops, health food stores and my favorite organic food home delivery. In the US, parts of Europe and Japan, the production of organic foods is currently federally regulated and in other countries, specific organic certification is required before these foods can be sold. Ministry of Agriculture- GOVT. of India should come forward and encourage such farmers who produce organic crops.

      Organic foods can include fresh vegetables and fruits, which are not processed and come directly from the growers through farmer’s markets, supermarkets and roadside stands or organic food home delivery. When you organic food home delivery it is like walking down to the farm and buying directly from the farmer. Many of these products are only available during certain times of the year. 

        In truth, processed organic foods need only contain a certain percentage of organic ingredients. In Australia, for example, a food can be labeled “organic” if it contains at least 95% organic ingredients. In other countries, however, the percentage can be less than that. There are no food additives in the nonorganic ingredients. In some cases, the organic food must be made using energy-saving techniques and packaged in recyclable or biodegradable materials. Bonus  in already seeing good karma. 

       There is also organic farming and organic cows too. These cows produce milk without antibiotics, growth hormones, pesticides, and cloning. They are also fed with organic pasture, organic grains, and organic vitamin and mineral supplements. It has been stated that these organic cows are very peaceful and calm with their diets. 
Going green and recycling are also on the rise in our society. We care more about the "Earth" and also about our "bodies". Some individuals are really up to speed with all of this, while others are just catching on. It should not matter where you are, as long as you are "aware" of this very enlightened attitude.

Organic clothes for your baby and organic guava fruit to take care of your skin and organic food to fill your tummy.
