what is organic food?

Answer 1

Organic food is labeled on foods processed or cultivated with no pesticides, induced hormones, or harmful chemical processes. Basically, it's grown/produced in a natural manner.
It costs more because it takes more care/time for it to grow.

Sources: Organic food is produced according to legally regulated standards. For crops, it means they were grown without the use of conventional pesticides, artificial fertilizers or sewage sludge, and that they were processed without ionizing radiation or food additives. For animals, it means they were reared without the routine use of antibiotics and without the use of growth hormones. Also, at all levels, organic food is produced without the use of genetically modified organisms.

Historically, organic farms have been small family-run farms[2] – which is why organic food was once only available in small stores or farmers' markets. Now, organic foods are becoming much more widely available – organic food sales within the United States have enjoyed 17 to 20 percent growth for the past few years[3] while sales of conventional food have grown at only about 2 to 3 percent a year. This large growth is predicted to continue, and many companies are jumping into the market.[4]

There is evidence that organic farms are more sustainable and environmentally sound, among other benefits (see benefits). These claims, however, are subject to dispute and are not settled among scientists. One vocal critic in particular, Anthony Trewavas, has written detailed critiques of organic agriculture

Answer 3

Technically whatever we eat are organic foods only. OK most of them. Whatever processed food or ingredients we eat may not be organic. Carbonated drinks, some spices, some health drinks are not organic. Most of the medicines are not organic.

In present day by Organic Food its means that this food does not contain any chemical, this is not grown by applying chemical manure or insecticides etc.

Answer 4

"Organic" does not mean "natural." There is no legal definition as to what constitutes a "natural" food. However, the food industry uses the term "natural" to indicate that a food has been minimally processed and is preservative-free. Natural foods can include organic foods, but not all natural foods are organic. Only foods labeled "organic" have been certified as meeting USDA organic standards
