What is Organic and Natural food?

Organic food refers to food products that are produced, prepared, and processed without the use of any chemicals.

Further, eating organic food makes you happier as it is leading to create a real therapeutic lifestyle of people. Hence, the choice of consuming natural and organic food is a growing trend in the world today mainly due to various positive health reasons.

The Global Organic Market and Trends

The organic food market consists of sales of organic food and beverages and related services. The global organic food market which is $201.77 billion in 2020 is expected to grow up to $221.37 billion by 2021 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7% (Organic Food Global Market Report – 2021). The organic food market is expected to reach $380.84 billion by 2025 at a CAGR of 14.5% (Organic Food Global Market Report – 2021). 

Increasing awareness among consumers about the health and benefits of organic food products has further stimulated the market growth. Moreover, with the growing number of chronic diseases such as cardiac issues, cancer, diabetes, and the rise in healthcare costs, consumers are increasingly focusing on their diet (The Mordor Intelligence, Hyderabad, India -2021). However, finding accurate facts on benefits of organic food is still under research and some of the major health benefits of eating organic and natural food is summarized below. 

The positive effects of antioxidants on overall health have been established in several scientific studies, especially those derived from organic foods. This is because organic foods are free of foreign chemicals that normally react with vitamins, organic compounds and minerals thus lowering the essential positive impacts of antioxidants in food products.

Exclusive grazing on natural grass increases the amounts of CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) found in animal products. The suns energy is well taken in by natural grass through photosynthesis and is converted into the most desirable organic CLA by the herbivores that feed on it. CLA is a heart-healthy fatty acid with the potential of bolstering cardiovascular protection, and it is found in higher quantities in the meat and milk products of animals that have been pastured in free range.

Organic foods are GMO free, that is, they are not genetically engineered in nature. Genetic engineering of food products is a huge concern in the current era. They are foods or plants with altered DNA in manners that do not take place in nature, usually to enhance resistance to pesticides/herbicides. While there is lack of conclusive evidence of its dangers, food safety advocates are concerned that long-term research has not been conducted to confirm their safety.
