ORGANIC FOOD

Organic foods are produced without the use of conventional pesticides, and that they were processed without ionizing radiation or food additives. Consumers interested in organic food would look for non-chemically treated, fresh or minimally processed food. Now every food category has an organic alternative. And non-food agricultural products are being grown organically - even cotton, which most experts felt could not be grown organically.


Personal definitions of what constituted "organic" were developed through firsthand experience: by talking to farmers, seeing farm conditions, and farming activities. Small farms grew vegetables using organic farming practices.

As demand for organic foods continues to increase, high volume sales through mass outlets such as supermarkets are rapidly replacing the direct farmer connection. However, for supermarket consumers, food production is not easily observable, and product labeling, like "certified organic", is relied on. Now the small sticker labeling “USDA Organic” by United States Department of Agriculture’s can be identified by consumers and be guarantee 90% product is Organic product. On package of meat can be identified organic by the small sticker “organic”.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) takes the position that there is not enough scientific evidence to claim that organic food is safer or more nutritious than conventionally produced food.

Is the Organic foods Better

Although most people consumed organic products because they believe that organic food is better and healthy than conventional products, but not enough scientific evidence to claim that organic product is more nutritious or safer than conventionally produced food. More people consumed organic food as a ‘lifestyle’ choice. Some scientific found that some organic fruit have more antioxidant and vitamin like vitamin C than conventional farmed.
