Is your organic food really organic?

The true definition of organic is foods or farming methods, produced or involving production without the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides or other artificial agents.

There are two categories of organic food used to further identify the differences: pastoral organic (food grown and purchased locally) and industrial organic (food grown and purchased from around the world).

Factors to consider regarding INDUSTRIAL ORGANIC VS PASTORAL ORGANIC:
  1. Cost
  2. Variety and availability
  3. Use of fossil fuel
  4. Freshness of products
