An ORGANIC PRODUCT is a product that is made from materials produced by organic
agriculture. Derived from carbon. Most well-known organic products are food products BUT clothing and personal
care items can also be made involving organic agriculture
Some countries have strict consumer safety regulations to protect consumers from consuming harmful products. These agencies often certify cultivated products as being organic. The USA uses USDA certification through the National Organic Program to
define products as "organic". According to the USDA several standards must be met.
Operations must "protect natural resources, conseerving biodiversity, and using onl approved substances.
The Issue here: COST. in 2015, on average, organic products were 47 percent more
expensive than traditional. The added expense: One factor: Quantities of the product
are smaller due to the exclusion of cheaper materials, synthetic pesticides, and more
readily available, commonly-used ingredients.
Do NOT believe that "natural" means the same thing as "organic". As an educated
consumer you will use what works best for you, your clients, and our planet!
