Organic Food Delivery: Organic Food

Organic food and everything associated with it (doorstep delivery, restaurants, holidays etc) has becoming increasingly popular over the last decade and surveys suggest that the Organic Food Industry is set to continue in its growth from strength to strength. The UK is one of the main outlets for organic food in Europe and the Government has set targets that suggest that by 2010 70% of all organic food sold in England is sourced by English farms. If you are interested in switching over to organic food you are sure to find our investigation below of the basics of organic food extremely beneficial.

Organic food is food produced by growers and farmers who are authorised and registered by organic certification bodies which are regulated by the United Kingdom of Organic Food Standards (UKROFS) or EU equivalents. This ensures that all food labelled organic meets strict regulated standards.

Organic farming recognises that there is a connection between human health and the health of the food we eat. As such, organic farmers aim to produce food using natural methods, avoiding use of pesticides and chemicals as much as possible. The main features of organic farming are as follows:

All organic food must be made up of at least 95% organic ingredients
All food is correctly labelled with the registered organic certification body
Healthy, living, fertile soil is used and then revitalised with compost
Crops are rotated to prevent soil depletion
Use of genetically modified crop and seeds is prohibited
Animals are treated humanely and only fed on organic feeds. Parasite problems are not controlled through drugs but instead are prevented through regular re-location to new pastures
Stringent restrictions placed on use of artificial chemical fertilisers and pesticides
