Cat Food Brands: Grain Free, Organic Cat & Kitten Food ...

Sorry green-market-loving hipsters, but it turns out eating organic isnt always that great for the planet, and may only have a marginal effect on your health.

A new studypublished in the journal Science Advances reports that even though organic farms have the eco-friendly benefit of using fewer pesticides, they also use more land, which is harmful to the planet.

Researchers at the University of British Columbia analyzed organic crop farming across 17 criteria such as yield, impact on climate change, farmer livelihood and consumer health by looking at the existing scientific literature on its results.

For one, they found the environmental benefits of organic farming can be offset by the lower yields of such crops (typically 19 to 25 percent lower than conventional farming).

While an organic farm may be better for things like biodiversity, farmers will need more land to grow the same amount of food, wrote Verena Seufert, the studys co-author. And land conversion for agriculture is the leading contributor to habitat loss and climate change.

The study also pointed out that reviews disagree on whether organic food offers a significant difference in nutrient content compared to conventional crops.

While one benefit was found to be unequivocal reduced contamination from pesticides the authors point out that this might not matter for consumers in high-income countries, where pesticide contamination on conventionally grown food is far below acceptable daily intake thresholds.

Organic food isn't all it's cracked up to be, study suggests - Fox News

Organic food is increasingly on the rise because people think it is better for themselves you are, after all, what you eat but also because they think it is better for the environment. A new study, however, has revealed that that may not be the case all of the time.

Published in Science Advances, the studyis the first to systematically review the scientific literature on theenvironmental and socioeconomic performance of organic farming. The researchers, led by the University of British Columbia (UBC), claim organic food is not the immediate fix for environmental agricultural issues and the future of food security.

"Organic is often proposed [as] a holy grail solution to current environmental and food scarcity problems, said Verena Seufert, study co-author and a researcher at the Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability (IRES), in a statement. But we found that the costs and benefits will vary heavily depending on the context."

As the study explains, organic farming on the same scale as conventional farming produces a much smaller yield without the use of pesticides. It is approximately 19 to 25 percent less, and so it needs more land to be able to cultivate more crops.

While an organic farm may be better for things like biodiversity, farmers will need more land to grow the same amount of food, said Seufert. And land conversion for agriculture is the leading contributor to habitat loss and climate change.

It can mean that those with good intentions when buying organic food might not be being as environmentally friendly as they would hope.

Organic Food Alone Cannot Provide A Sustainable Future - IFLScience

By Louis Gore-LangtonLouis Gore-Langton , 13-Mar-20172017-03-13T00:00:00Z Last updated on 13-Mar-2017 at 14:51 GMT2017-03-13T14:51:30Z

Organic may be less sustainable and less beneficial to consumer health than previously thought, according to new research.

Organic has been a growing trend throughout Europe, making a continued expansion since the 2008 recession in which sales dropped dramatically.

But is organic really the panacea for the food systems environmental and health related problems?

A review of scientific literature analysing organic farming with seventeen different criteria found that a number of factors, including crop yield and consumer health, do not show such glowing results.

The study shows that the costs and benefits of organic farms have often been analysed in comparison to conventional farms with the same land area which does not take into account crop yield.

When the efficiency of farms is measured by yield, organic methods have been shown in numerous studies to underperform by around 19 25%. For some crops this figure can rise to as high as 30 or 40%.

Although the need for increased food supply is still debated because of the inefficiencies and inequities in the current system, yields do matter not only for farmers whose incomes critically depend on the yield but also for many environmental outcomes. Even if food production does not need to increase, higher yields could still be environmentally beneficial because we could take land out of production and restore natural ecosystemsthe study notes.

This is not only a problem for increasing output and satisfying the worlds shortage of food, but also for environmental degradation.

Land conversion for agriculture is the worlds leading cause of habitat loss and climate change. The world wildlife fund (WWF) state that 38% of the worlds habitable land is currently used for agriculture and that a further 120 million hectares will need to be converted to intensive monoculture farms by 2050 to continue feeding the worlds population.

Despite organic farms requiring more land for production, biodiversity within that land usually increases greatly under organic methods.

Health concerns are the number one factor motivating consumers to opt for organic products.

However, the study shows that the potential harm caused by pesticides in food is highly context dependent and that consumers in economically developed countries would be far more at risk than those in developing countries:

The only entirely unequivocal benefit of organic foods is reduced contamination from pesticide residues although this might not matter for consumers in high-income countries, where pesticide contamination on conventionally grown food is far below acceptable daily intake thresholds it could provide an important health benefit for consumers elsewhere.

Hans Muillmen of the Pesticide Action Network (PAN) however, told FoodNavigator that this does not cover the whole picture.

Food from industrial agriculture contains numerous pesticide residues. Consumers eat dozens of pesticides on a daily basis and the combined effects of these pesticides are not accounted for in the regulations. Industrial food is not safe. Organic doesn't contain synthetic pesticide residues at all and is safe.

A recentPAN release reported on the cumulative effects of different types of pesticides, saying that whilst individual residues are minor, western consumers still take on dozens of different types per day, which can be toxic.

The researchers said the literature review showed ultimately that whilst organic has huge benefits and requires larger amounts of research and funding,organic agriculture cannot be the Holy Grail for our sustainable food security challenges.

Instead, more emphasis should be placed on finding and utilising the areas where organic works best, and this requires trade-offs for separate problems like output and biodiversity.

For consumers in less-developed countries, however, the health benefit is greater.

Its easy to think that buying organic food helps to support local communities and protect the environment from the heavy hand of big agriculture. But the reality is not so clear cut. A detailed new analysis finds that organic farming is not always more upstanding than its conventional counterpart.

One of trickiest challenges facing society is how to produce enough food for growing populations without wrecking the environment and local communities. A study published on March 10 in the journal Science Advances finds that organic agriculture is not the holy grail of sustainable agriculture that its image suggests.

Its not enough just to do organic, said Verena Seufert, a researcher at the University of British Columbia, Canada, and a lead author of the study.

There is not a single answer to whether organic performs better or worse than conventional agriculture, she added.

The study finds that organic farming is better than conventional agriculture in some important ways.

The clearest benefit of organic agriculture is that farm workers are exposed to fewer potentially toxic pesticides, said Seufert.

Also, lower levels of pesticide residues are found on organic produce. This is of most benefit for people living in low-income countries, which tend to have weak controls on pesticide use. But it will make little difference to the health of consumers in the U.S. or Europe, for example, where pesticide residues on conventionally grown food are very low, the study says.

It also confirms previous findings that organic food is more nutritious, but the slightly higher levels of vitamins and other wholesome compounds are unlikely large enough to boost consumers health, said Seufert.

Organic agriculture is also a boon for financially fraught farmers. Farmers often struggle to make ends meet and must supplement their income through other activities, said Seufert.

Organic produce commands a higher price, making it more profitable, the study finds. However, organic farmers do not seem to provide better working conditions or wages to laborers, according to the limited available evidence, said Seufert.

While organic farms are friendlier to wildlife, such as bees, they are not always kinder to the environment overall, the study says. This is because organic farms produce less food on the same area of land compared to conventional farms. Lower organic yields mean that more land is put to work. And for the same amount of food produced, organic farms also tend to release more nitrogen pollution than conventional farms.

The new analysis is one of the most comprehensive to date comparing large-scale organic and conventional farming. It clarifies previous mixed conclusions on organic farmings green credentials. Other research has shown that smaller community gardens are important sources of organic produce, and have a plethora of socioeconomic and environmental benefits, such as saving on shipping costs and packaging and providing green spaces for people to enjoy.

This does not imply that organic agriculture is bad or should not be part of the solution. It just means we need to improve organic agriculture and make it better, said Seufert.

Amending organic regulations to better promote environmentally friendly farming practices, such as rotating crops, could help make organic farming more sustainable, said Seufert. Currently, organic regulations mainly focus on restricting chemical inputs such as pesticides and fertilizers.

If you want to make organic sustainable, you must include environmental best practices in regulations, she said.

In addition, researchers need to develop new crop varieties that are bred to perform well in organic systems, such as crops that can grow well with less fertilizer. Today, most of the crops grown on organic farms were bred for conventional agriculture where nutrient-rich chemical fertilizer is liberally applied.

John Reganold, an agroecologist at Washington State University, said that the new study agrees with much of his own findings on organic farming including that it better supports ecosystem services such as bio-pest control and healthier soils. But he said the future of farming will likely sit in the middle ground between organic and conventional agriculture, where farmers will use green farming methods alongside chemicals inputs. Such hybrid farming will be more sustainable by better balancing profit and productivity with social and environmental concerns, he said.

Organic farming is helping to drive a move towards sustainable agriculture by encouraging conventional farmers to adopt environmentally friendly practices, said Reganold.

Organic farming is pulling conventional farmers towards the middle ground. This will have a tremendous impact, he said.

And although organic produce is grown on only 1 percent of global farmland, it can have a strong influence on agricultural markets. It is the fastest growing food sector in North America and Europe. Consumers recognize and demand the organic food label, said Seufert.

Therefore, at the moment, organic is the most important way that consumers can influence how their food is produced, she said.

Is organic always better? It's not as clear-cut as you might think. - Grist

Organic cotton textiles register no more than a footnote in the worlds cotton production, but Vishal Naithani wants to change that.

His company, Sustained Organic Living in Edina, selects certified organic cotton grown in India with non-GMO seeds. The products are made using only fair trade labor on the farms and in the factories.

The challenge for Naithani and his company, which is also known as Sol Organics, is to be able to create the level of interest among consumers for organic apparel that has been generated for organic food. For now, his chief weapon is price: He aims to price his products significantly lower than his online competitors and on par with high-quality bedding that is not fair trade organic.

Every family should have access to affordable organic cotton just like they have access to affordable organic food, he said. It shouldnt be only the wealthy who can afford premium products.

Sol Organics is one of a number of companies offering organic, fair trade textiles online or in stores. Companies such as Boll & Branch and Patagonia sell them. West Elm, Pottery Barn, and Target feature organic cotton that may or may not be fair trade. Naithani said Sol Organics is the only Minnesota-based company to do so.

Part of the reason Naithani acts as a maverick is that organic cotton hasnt grabbed the consumers attention like organic milk, produce and poultry.

Shoppers arent ingesting organic cotton as they do organic foods, so they may not see the benefit, said Mary Brett Whitfield, senior vice president at Kantar Retail, a retail consulting business. We havent trained shoppers to think about how cotton is grown or how it fits in the environmental food chain.

Conventionally grown cottons critics say the so-called fabric of our lives is a crop that requires lots of water and chemicals to grow. A pesticide-intensive crop, conventional cotton uses more than an average amount of pesticides, although the amount is in dispute.

Cotton covers 2.5 percent of the worlds cultivated land, yet growers use an estimated 10 to 25 percent of the worlds pesticides, according to Rodale Institute, a Pennsylvania organic farm and researcher. AMIS Global, an agriculture data firm, estimates the pesticide usage for cotton at closer to 5 percent, according to Cotton Inc., a U.S. trade organization.

In India, where more than 20 percent of the worlds cotton is grown, child labor is common. According to a Harris Poll conducted in 2016, three in five consumers would not purchase a cotton product if they knew it was picked by children or forced labor.

Naithani and others in the business believe that, in time, more consumers will search out organic sheets, towels and clothing. Only 5 percent of consumers purchase organic clothing, slightly higher among millennials, according to Kantar Retail.

The average price paid for a queen sheet set in the U.S. is $80, but organic cotton sets (300 thread count sateen) start at $240 at BollandBranch.com and $258 at Coyuchi.com.

At the wholesale level, organic, fair trade cotton costs only about 15 percent more than conventional cotton, Naithani said. He doubles the cost of the goods for his retail price while competitors triple the cost, he said.

The only way to get people to convert to buying organic cotton is to keep prices competitive. Costco and Wal-Mart have made organic food affordable, he said. We want to do the same for organic cotton.

At $119 for a queen set and $139 for a king set at solorganix.com (after a $40 instant savings), his prices are 30 to 50 percent less than comparable products online, but still nearly double what a conventional set costs at Kohls or J.C. Penney.

Naithani hopes to drop the price of his queen-sized set to $99 within two years, once the product reaches critical mass. Affordability is the tipping point, he said. It promotes access, which in turn creates demand and conversion to organic cotton.

Brett Whitfield sees organic cotton as early in its life cycle but poised for growth. Target and Pottery Barn recently expanded their organic textiles selection. Pottery Barns spring collections show fair trade, organic sheets and towels.

Target, which already had organic cotton sheets, clothes and baby items, added organic in its new Cat & Jack kids line. Its recent pledge to remove perfluorinated chemicals and flame retardants from textiles by 2022 shows a long-term commitment.

We know organic cotton is important to our guests, said Erika Winkels, a Target spokeswoman. It will continue to grow in the future, whether its home or apparel. Its not the be-all-end-all, but its important.

Naithani, who also sells his product on Amazon, hopes to break $1 million in annual sheet sales by next month. Thats still a fraction of the online retailer Boll & Branch, which sold about $40 million in organic fair trade sheets and towels in 2016.

Sols products are getting four- and five-star reviews online. His return rate is an enviably low 2.5 percent.

Increasing the demand for organic cotton creates this tremendous upside where everyone wins, the farmer, the consumer and the earth, he said.

We have to trust farmers, regulators and science that pesticide residues in our food are not at dangerous levels.

OPINION: Wellington Organic Week is coming up and I'm pleased. It gives my organic farming friends a chance to profit from this heightened interest in them.

But what I'm not happy about is the divisiveness of a crowd calling themselves the Safe Food Campaign.

They claim that only organic food is "safe" because all other food contains pesticides that are a risk to children's health. In a media release marking Wellington Organic Week, they spell out, with relish, what can go wrong - birth defects, genetic and hormonal damage, damaged immune system, and brain damage. All this from eating non-organic food.

Now, the organic growers and farmers I know would be horrified by these scare tactics. They know claims like this are without foundation and they know that they lead to counter-claims of equal strength which I will come to in a minute.

READ MORE:Kiwis take to organics as the sector goes mainstream

First, these claims. Every so often health authorities detail pesticide residues in food. The Greens and their mates see this as a chance to literally scare up more votes and toxicologists are forced to hose them down.

These experts say use of pesticides, herbicides, fertilisers, and veterinary medicines in all food is strictly regulated and pesticide levels are at extremely low levels, not remotely near what would be considered unsafe. These residuesaredetected more efficiently than they used to be because thetechnology to do so has improved.

If the Safe Foodclaims were true, youwould think the Cancer Society would be up in arms. But no.

This is what the society says: "There is no current evidence that shows very low levels of pesticide residues increase the risk of cancer. There is evidence which suggests eating lots of fruit and vegetables has many health benefits. These health benefits far outweigh any risk which might be linked with pesticide residues and you should not limit the fruit and vegetables you eat."

Strangely, the chemicals that organic farmers are permitted to use to replace conventional pesticides are not tested for residues in food but you can bet they're there.

The list is too long to show here, but these are three of the more dangerous ones.

Copper sulphate is used as a fungicide by organic farmers, despite its far higher toxicity when compared to synthetic alternatives.

Vineyard sprayers have experienced liver disease from exposure to it. It is corrosive to the skin and eyes, and is absorbed through the skin. It causes reproductive problems in birds, hamsters and rats. It has been shown to induce heart disease in the offspring of pregnant hamsters that were exposed to it. It has caused endocrine tumours in chickens. At normal application rates it is foundto bepoisonous to sheep and chickens. It isvery toxic to fish, crabs, shrimps and oysters.

There are cases where most animal life in soil, including large earthworms, have been eliminated by the extensive use of copper-containing fungicides in orchards.

Once a soil is contaminated with copper, there is no practical way to remove it.

Azadirachtin, also known as neem oil, is a toxic pesticide that is far more effective in killing foraging bees than synthetic pesticides.EUstudieshaveshown it kills 50 per cent of bee populations when they're exposed to a dose level 50 times lower than the recommended dosefororganicfarmers.

Pyrethrum is highly toxic to bees. Several studies indicate the possibility of a connection between pyrethrins and cancer, including one study showing a 3.7-fold increase in leukemia among farmers who had handled pyrethrins compared to those who had not.

Organic farmers excuse their use of these poisons by saying they have no alternative. Yes they do. They could use the pesticides conventional farmers use and are proved to be safe. But then they wouldn't be "organic" and able to charge more for their food and claim they are safer than other food.

You see. It's easy to slag off both organic and non-organic food for perceived dangers. But the fact is we have to trust the farmers, the scientistsand the regulators that they are keeping all food safe for us to eat. And I am sure they are.

Green BEAN Delivery, the regions largest online natural and organic grocery delivery service, has announced it is expanding its services to cover residents in Peru.

Beginning at 3 p.m. on Oct. 20, members can shop online from a full selection of local, organic produce and all-natural, artisanal groceries and have them delivered directly to their doorsteps.

We are excited to continue growing throughout our home state of Indiana, providing the Peru community with the freshest produce and thousands of all-natural and local, artisanal groceries, said Shane Towne, president of BEAN, LLC, parent company of Green BEAN Delivery, in a press release.

We take great pride in helping area farmers and artisans showcase their amazing products, each week, in our online grocery store, he said.

One of those local farmers is Mark Boyer, who started the company Healthy Hoosier Oils with his dad at their Converse farm in March 2015. The farm grows sunflowers and canola, which they turn into cooking oil using a cold press.

For around two years, Green BEAN Delivery has distributed their product. Boyer said now, its great to see the delivery service coming to his home turf.

This is a wonderful resource in our community for many healthy and specialty foods that were previously unavailable, he said in an email. Their service is growing, but not yet in many areas with populations the size of ours.

To become a Green BEAN Delivery member, residents can sign up, select their bin preference and delivery frequency, and begin exploring the virtual aisles of the online store. Every order is customizable with members choosing from thousands of organic, all-natural and local and artisanal offerings.

Peru residents who want to become members can register at http://www.greenbeandelivery.com/PeruWabash. The first 50 Peru residents who sign up will receive a special discount of 20-percent off of their first three grocery orders. Membership does not come with contracts or commitments, and delivery is free when the selected bins minimum order is reached.

The company was founded in 2007 by Matt Ewer and his wife, Beth Blessing, who said in press release their goal was to make local, organic produce and natural groceries convenient, affordable and accessible to area communities. Now, the company boasts the Midwest and Souths largest network of farmers and artisans with organic and sustainable practices.

The delivery service also operates a 60-acre organic farm in Sheridan, Indiana, where they grow a wide variety of vegetables and also is home to more than five acres of blueberry bushes. The produce from the farm is included in their bins.

Besides its online service, Green BEAN Delivery has also committed to combating food insecurity by donating over 950,000 pounds of fresh produce to food banks in the communities it serves. They also partner with anti-hunger organizations to increase the flow of fruits, vegetables and grocery items into emergency food assistance programs.

Oaktree, where value investing thought leader Howard Marks (Trades, Portfolio) is co-chairman, increased its stake last Friday in SunOpta Inc. (NASDAQ:STKL), a company where it is pushing for change as the biggest shareholder but where few other prominent value investors have been active.

Oaktree found opportunity to increase its position when a weak earnings report released March 1 precipitated a decline in the companys stock price. Shares of SunOpta dropped 15.3% from the markets close Feb. 28 through March 2, registering their lowest price since August at $6.10 a piece. On March 3, Oaktree bought 3 million additional shares, reflecting a 26.5% holding increase that built his ownership to 14,333,333 shares, or 16.7% of the company.

SunOpta joined Oaktree in reviewing its operations starting in October and constructed a Value Creation Plan to maximize profit for shareholders. The plan, which aims for $30 million in product-driven annualized EBITDA enhancements and $20 million in working capital efficiencies over the next 12 to 18 months, features four pillars: portfolio optimization, operational excellence, go-to-market- effectiveness and process sustainability.

As we implement the four pillars of our strategic plan, we will refine our product portfolio, improve execution, broaden our sales effort and build a sustainable platform for profitable growth, SunOpta President and CEO David Colo, appointed Feb. 6 in a management shakeup, said in a release. We believe SunOpta is well positioned to benefit from the growing trend for healthier foods and we are building the platform for long-term achievement of our strategic goals and increased returns for shareholders."

Parts of the plan, like divesting of non-core business lines and impairment charges, as well as weak beverage and fruit sales, impinged on the companys fourth-quarter earnings results which fell below its expectations.

SunOptas revenue declined 6% from the prior years fourth quarter to $297.5 million. Its net loss of $33.5 million, or 41 cents per share, deepened from $30.1 million, or 16 cents per share, for the same periods. It ended the quarter with $1.25 million on its balance sheet, down from $2.27 million, and $244.4 million in long-term liabilities and debt, down from $339.03 million.

Over the last five years, SunOpta grew revenue at a 0.7% growth rate, while EBITDA fell at a rate of 8.8% and book value at a rate of 4%. In addition, its gross and operating margins have been in decline.

Only three other investors tracked by GuruFocus hold shares of SunOpta: Chuck Royce (Trades, Portfolio), Mario Gabelli (Trades, Portfolio) and Paul Tudor Jones (Trades, Portfolio). Two, Chuck Royce (Trades, Portfolio) and Mario Gabelli (Trades, Portfolio), reduced their positions in the fourth quarter.

SunOpta shares have gained 39% over the past five years, including a 3.6% rise year to date.
