The organic food industry is booming. But what does 'organic' even mean? Watch the full video here:

The organic food industry is a booming business, with sales surging last year by 12.4% to $61.9 billion. However, most people don't know what "organic" really means.

In 2014, brand consultancy BFG surveyed 300 shoppers. Of those shoppers, 70% purchased organic food, but only 20% of respondents could define organic., "organic is a labeling term that indicates that the food or other agricultural product has been produced through approved methods." In other words, "organic" by itself isn't necessarily a health claim. It just means the food was produced using organic methods.

Some health-conscious consumers gravitate toward organic over conventional products due to concerns about highly processed foods, artificial ingredients, as well as the effects of pesticides, hormones and antibiotics. According to a study by Pew Research, 76% of adults surveyed bought organic foods for their health value, followed by environmental concerns at 33% and convenience at 22%.

But there is conflicting data about whether organic foods are actually healthier and safer. For example, a 2005 report from the University of California Riverside suggests that pesticide residue in organic and conventional crops is too low to have any adverse effects on health. Many experts also agree there's no significant nutritional difference between organic and conventional crops.

Like other lucrative labels, it means less each day.

Organic = insects

Marketing gimmick

Scams of the 21st century.

nothing, it's just a label for stores to rip out clients off their money

I'm tax professional: reason Trump is worried sick about his taxes being released is HE FAILED TO REPORT 'DEBT FORGIVENESS INCOME' when he wrote off his failed real estate ventures in 2009 (yr open in audit now). When bank writes down/off loans=his income!

Imagine being a person who seeks out organic food, non-gmo, all-natural ingredients… but thinking it’s healthy to inject an experimental pharmaceutical drug made in a laboratory into your body 😂

It means more expensive. 🤣

It just means you are paying more.

Generally it's a marketing term that has been gamed by the food industry. I would take small responsible farm produced over organic any day of the week.

Hi price crap

Monsanto Lettuce 🙄

In the grocery context, 'organic' implies conspicuous consumption: the tendency to buy goods of a higher price, quality, or quantity than consumers need.

Organic= More $$

The prices are high. No real guarantees that the label is truthful. Growing my organically are a absolute.

B.S.= organic.

If price is anything to go by N if the expensive is good Then organic is excellent. If not, n you are like me, then the cheapest full cream milk in the most indescript bottle will be the friendliest to both Pocket n Pallet!!! C.

Make sure its USDA certified

Not a whole lot anymore. Much better to have a relationship directly with a farmer who sells direct

for 24 cents more no brainer

Only rich people can afford not me sir

Organic farmers still use 'approved' pesticides and herbicides and can use inspectors that are more relaxed with testing. Food products labeled 'Organic' have at least 95% organic ingredients and products labeled 'Made with organic ingredients' only have to have at least 70%.

Nope.

Organic means paying more money for something you can buy elswhere for cheap

Organic means Made in Laboratory.

Organic is a marketing tactic to charge more; that’s it.

Organic means the food came straight from the farm to the supermarket.

It means clueless Millennials will pay two or three times more for exactly the same thing.

🚨 In 2022, advertisers had to pay an average of 6.5 million U.S. dollars to air a 30-second long commercial during the SBLVI broadcast. It will cost about $1000 to help this child not lose his right eye 😭Nothing is too small🙏 SuperBowl Bridgewater
