Organic food

August 26, 2008

Organic food intake has become the latest trend nowadays. But there are still many people who do not have a clear idea about the exact meaning of organic food and this is due to the fact that we do not possess sufficient information about organic food. Organic food can be defined as natural food that is grown without the usage of any kind of preservatives or conventional pesticides. They are developed without the use of radiation or additives. Even the farm animals are reared without the regular use of antibiotics and growth hormones. Most countries use organic food which is not genetically adapted.
Production of organic food is regulated by the law. At present, , the United States, the European Union, Japan and many other countries have made it mandatory for the producers to obtain organic certification in order to market organic food.
In the past, organic farms used to be very small farms run by the family and the organic food was available only at small stores or local markets. However, in the early 90s growth rate of organic food has increased to 20% a year which is far ahead than the remaining food industry, in both developed and developing countries. Recent studies show that organic food constitutes 1-2% of food sales worldwide. In future the growth rate is expected to be approximately 10-50% annually depending on the country.
Health experts claim that organic food is more nutritious than ordinary food.
Organic foods contain compounds of phenol which provide protection from heart disease and cancer. As compared to conventional foods, organic food ensures high food quality. As while producing organic food more attention is given to quality besides good taste and proper selection of crop varieties. Apart from being natural and fresh, organic food has a very rich taste. Pollution is also reduced by growing organic food.

Hence organic food not only makes us resistant against a lot of diseases but also provides us more energy. A truly health conscious person would always inculcate the habit of eating organic food. So for leading a healthy lifestyle we should all head towards eating organic food.
