A Family Ate Only Organic Food For 2 Weeks. Here Are The Results. – Gentside UK

Posted: November 1, 2019 at 10:42 am


without comments

After discovering that their bodies were filled with pesticides because of the food they ate every day, the members of this family decided to eat only organic products for two weeks. And the changes were not long in coming.

While we know that many pesticides are used to produce most of the food we eat every day, the price of organic food sometimes discourages us from buying it regularly.

This was precisely the case with this Swedish family who agreed to participate in a small experiment. Indeed, while scientists are aware of the effects of pesticides on food, their effects on the human body are still largely unknown.

By testing urine samples provided by the five family members, they discovered that pesticides, fungicides and other chemicals used in the production of fruits and vegetables, for example, were present, and in very large numbers, in everyone's bodies. The family, therefore, began to eat only organic products for two weeks and, at the end of the experiment, their urine was tested again.

And then, surprise: the level of chemicals had fallen or even disappeared completely. These results have opened the eyes of these parents who are obviously concerned about their children's health, they will try to change their diet in order to avoid consuming chemically treated products.

India exports organic products worth Rs 5,151 cr in FY19: APEDA – Times of India

Posted: at 10:42 am


without comments

New Delhi, Oct 29 () India exported organic products worth Rs 5,151 crore in 2018-19, against Rs 3,453 crore in the previous year, registering an increase of about 49 per cent, according to the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority.

"India produced around 2.67 million tonnes (2018-19) of certified organic products which include all varieties of food products namely oil seeds, sugar cane, cereals and millets, cotton, pulses, medicinal plants, tea, fruits, spices, dry fruits, vegetables, coffee etc. The production is not limited to the edible sector but also produces organic cotton fiber and functional food products," APEDA Chairman Paban Borthakur stated.

The Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) is a statutory body under the Commerce Ministry.

It said the major demands under the organic product category are for flax seeds, sesame and soybean; pulses such as arhar (red gram), chana (pigeon pea); and rice, along with tea and medicinal plants.

"There is a growing demand from Canada, Taiwan and South Korea in recent years, Germany is one of the biggest importers of Indian organic products. Now, many new countries are also taking interest," said Borthakur.

He said the demand for organic agricultural products is constantly increase world-wide as organic products are grown under a system of agriculture without the use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides. As on 31 March 2019, total area under organic certification process (registered under National Programme for Organic Production) was 3.56 million Hectare.

This includes 1.94 million ha cultivable area and another 1.49 million Hectare for wild harvest collection. Among all the states, Madhya Pradesh has covered largest area under organic certification followed by Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. During 2016, Sikkim had achieved a remarkable distinction of converting its entire cultivable land (more than 76,000 ha) under organic certification, Borthakur said.

"The total volume of export during 2018-19 was 6.14 lakh MT. The organic food export realisation was around Rs 5,151 crore (757.49 million USD). Organic products are exported to USA, European Union, Canada, Switzerland, Australia, Israel, South Korea, Vietnam, New Zealand and Japan," the APEDA Chairman said.

Where to eat in The Greens, Dubai: plus things to do and the best place to stay – The National

Posted: at 10:42 am


without comments

The Greens is predominantly a down-to-earth residential area, but its beginning to attract more visitors, thanks to its charming selection of restaurants and retail outlets

A range of tastes are catered for here. Popular neighbourhood-style cafe Arrows & Sparrows, from the same people who brought us Friends Avenue Cafe, appeals to a family-friendly crowd and serves up a decent mix of healthy and comfort food. Think acai bowls and avocado on toast next to pancakes and a pulled beef burger with six-hour slow-roasted brisket. If you prefer Japanese cuisine, there are a couple of great options. Firstly, next to Arrows & Sparrows sits Yugo Sushi, popular among those craving nigiri or maki. Theres also a branch of Wagamama, which has a quaint eatery with an outdoor terrace, where you can enjoy the British chains world-famous selection, including its relatively new vegan options. Birch Cafe & Bakery at The Greens Souk is a new addition to the area, selling homemade breads and pastries, as well as organic coffee and tea.

One of the best yoga studios in Dubai is based in The Greens. Yoga House offers a range of sessions, as well as Pilates and meditation classes, in its quaint premises in Emaar Business Park. Nearby, theres The Pad for Pilates and Dance by Yasmin Karachiwala, the fitness instructor to Bollywood A-listers. A spot of pampering while youre here wouldnt go amiss, either. There is not one, but two Tips & Toes branches, one in The Greens Souk and the other at Panorama, offering everything from mani-pedis to massages and hair styling services.

For a small area, residents have a great pick of supermarkets. Theres a Choithrams, which is handy for all the essentials and for its deli and bakery, while Organic Foods & Cafe offers a selection of organic fruits, vegetables, meats and more. Then theres 1004 Gourmet, a specialty Asian supermarket that sells everything from kimchi to imported meat cuts (even shabu-shabu) and every Korean sauce under the sun. The shop is also home to Kaffe Bloom, a casual cafe with a small selection of tasty sandwiches and salads, plus kakigori, a Japanese shaved ice dessert. Also there is Lamise Beauty, a haven for lovers of K-beauty products. There are a couple of spots for our furry friends, too: World of Pets, at Panorama Building, has all sorts of animal essentials, including those for aquatic critters; and Beauty Pets at Onyx Tower is a newer boutique focusing on health products.

Zabeel House by Jumeirah, The Greens is a boutique-style hotel. Its rooms boast an industrial, New York loft-inspired aesthetic. The property features a couple of great restaurants, too. Pan-Asian hot spot Lah Lah is packed almost every night of the week, not just because its reasonably priced food is excellent and the vibe is upbeat, but also because there are ladies nights, a brunch and other deals on offer. On the lobby level, theres also Social Company, an international all-day dining spot with an a la carte menu, regular buffet spreads, as well as grab-and-go options, plus a lounge area. Dont forget to pop by the spa while youre there.

The Greens is home to a couple of manmade lakes that are surrounded by a walking/running track, exercise machines, a childrens playground and plenty of greenery. Its a lovely place to go for a walk or a run. You could also take a blanket and find a spot on the grass to have a picnic. Theres a little book swap corner, too, if youre looking to offload a few novels.

Organic food purchases on the rise in Rapid City – Kotatv

Posted: October 28, 2019 at 10:46 pm


without comments

RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA TV) - "That extra cost of a dollar at the store, where does that lead clear down the road in the cost of our health," said Dietitian Cindy Gates.

When grocery shopping, organic and non-organic foods may look the exact same... So what's the difference between the two?

"So organic and non-organic. So organic produce would be not using pesticides and chemicals," said Gates. "Where as when you spray your crops with herbicides, pesticides can have detrimental side effects on your health."

Some experts say long term exposure can lead to Parkinson's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and different types of cancers when eating the wrong foods.

With technology, eating healthier is easier. A really great way is to get the Healthy Living app that will search through its database after scanning an item and give you a score on how healthy the item is.

Another way to check is by looking at "the clean fifteen" and "the dirty dozen," two lists from the Environmental Working Group.

Scientists test each fruit and vegetable every year to see how many pesticides they contain.

If cost is an issue, this a great way to buy non-organic foods.

"So if strawberries, spinach, and kale are on the dirty dozen. So if you're going to buy kale, you should be buying organic kale," said Gates. "Where like you are buying sweet corn, it's ok if you are buying non organic sweet corn."

Jeffrey Thouron who is a general manager at Breadroots Co-op thinks the nationwide trend of shopping organically has made its way to Rapid City.

"There is a trend in Rapid City, more organic. I have been at the Co-op for seven years and it's just exploding," said Thouron. "There's several local stores that focus on organic and all the major stores like Family Fare and Safeway."

Knowing what you put in your body now can affect your future.

Is Organic Food Really Better for the Environment? – State of the Planet

Posted: at 10:46 pm


without comments

When you walk into any farmers market, youre greeted with signs that say Certified Organic in bold letters. Despite being far more expensive than its non-organic counterparts, organic agriculture has become the most popular type of alternative farming, not only in the United States but also globally.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), as of 2012, organic farming accounted for 3 percent of the total sales within the countrys food industry. Even in European countries like Finland, Austria, and Germany, governments have been busy implementing plans and policies that aim to dedicate 20 percent of land area to organic farming. In South Asia, Bhutan has ambitious plans of going 100 percent organic by 2020. Meanwhile, Sikkim, a state in north-eastern India had managed to go 100 percent organic in 2016.

The gradual shift towards organic farming has been mainly because we as consumers have become increasingly concerned about the health impacts of accidentally consuming pesticides and chemical fertilizers. During the 1990s, the USDA first standardized the meaning of the term organic basically, farmers do not use any form of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides to grow their produce.

Organic farming is widely considered to be a far more sustainable alternative when it comes to food production. The lack of pesticides and wider variety of plants enhances biodiversity and results in better soil quality and reduced pollution from fertilizer or pesticide run-off.

Conventional farming has been heavily criticized for causing biodiversity loss, soil erosion, and increased water pollution due to the rampant usage of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. However, despite these glaring cons, scientists are concerned that organic farming has far lower yields as compared to conventional farming, and so requires more land to meet demand.

A polarized debate

Not surprisingly, the debate over organic versus conventional farming is heavily polarized in academic circles. Of late, the conversation about organic farming has shifted from its lack of chemicals to its impact on greenhouse gas emissions. In December 2018, researchers from Chalmers University of Technology published a study in the journal Nature that found that organic peas farmed in Sweden have a bigger climate impact (50 percent higher emissions) as compared to peas that were grown conventionally in the country.

Organic farming has many advantages but it doesnt solve all the environmental problems associated with producing food. There is a huge downside because of the extra land that is being used to grow organic crops, said Stefan Wirsenius, an associate professor at Chalmers. If we use more land for food, we have less land for carbon sequestration. The total greenhouse gas impact from organic farming is higher than conventional farming.

Soon after the paper was published and widely covered by various news organizations globally, several researchers criticized the study. Andrew Smith, a chief scientist at the Rodale Institute, lashed out in a post saying that it was irresponsible to extrapolate a global phenomenon based on two crops grown in one country over three years.

Smith also added that more data should be included and analyzed before making conclusions. Commenting on this, Wirsenius said, It is true that we had a small comparison between organic versus conventional farming based on Swedish statistics. This is because Sweden is one of the very few countries that has statistics that include the yields from organic and conventional crops.

It would have been better with bigger sample size and that is a valid concern, he added.

It is estimated that by 2050, the demand for food is going to increase by 59 to 98 percent due to the ever-increasing global population. A major challenge for the agriculture business is not only trying to figure out how to feed a growing population, but also doing so while adapting to climate change and coming up with adequate mitigation measures.

Some scientists continue to be concerned that with limited land areas that will be available for farming, it might not be sustainable for industrialized countries to go 100 percent organic. A recent study published in the journal Nature Communications concludes that the widespread adoption of organic farming practices in England and Wales would lead to increases in greenhouse gas emissions. This is mainly because agricultural yields would be 40 percent lower.

The researchers argued that with fewer crops being grown locally, these two countries would have to import more food supplies. However, if England and Wales did not solely rely on organic farming, and both countries farmers used this alternative form of farming on a smaller scale, it could result in a 20 percent reduction in carbon emissions.

For organic farming to be successful, agribusinesses would have to find the balance between the costs involved and also, its carbon footprint, while taking into consideration the overall need to meet the high demands for food, said Alexander Ruane, a research physical scientist at NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies and an adjunct associate research scientist at the Columbia University Center for Climate Systems Research. Thats tough because the goal of organic farming in developed countries currently is about meeting the needs of those who can afford the luxury to buy the highest quality food. If the needs of this luxury interfere with the need to feed the entire population, then you have the potential for conflicts.

The blurry line between good and bad

Making matters more complicated, some experts worry that the term organic food is not always properly regulated. As more large corporations get involved in organic markets, researchers claim that this shift to the mainstream has led to the weakening of ecologically beneficial standards. It may also limit organic farmings ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

While researchers and the general public remain divided on whether organic farming is more sustainable than conventional farming, Sonali McDermid, an assistant professor at the department of environmental studies at New York University, says that it is very hard to generalize across any farming systems or label conventional or organic farming as good or bad. They have very different manifestations, depending upon where you go, she said.

An apt example would be the case of a farm involved in the production of organic berries in Central Valley, California. While they are not using additional land area or chemical inputs like in conventional farming, they are using other really strong inputs like sulfur, explained McDermid. This can be harmful to farmworkers as they need to wear proper suits and protective gear even though it is not chemically synthetic. Despite that, it is just as powerful in some cases.

McDermid is also concerned that some agribusinesses can farm uniformly without any biodiversity and still call themselves organic. Whereas in developing or emerging economies for example in India farmers tend to follow a far more traditional definition of organic farming.

In India, organic farms grow lots of different crops at the same time. They grow plants that can naturally keep pests away and dont use powerful inputs like sulfur. Instead, the farmers use plants and biodiversity to help regulate their cropping systems, said McDermid.

Indian farmers who grow organic crops also make their fertilizers by filling a field with legumes that they grow in rotations. Once the legumes have fully grown, the farmers manually plow them into the ground. That results in larger quantities of nitrogen being pumped into the soil, as opposed to only using manure or even worse, synthetic fertilizers.

McDermid said that in some areas of the developing world, organic farming can actually boost yields over conventional farming because it doesnt rely on so much water and chemical inputs. These practices also build soil fertility and lead to less pollution.

Experts maintain that in the heated debate over organic versus conventional farming, there needs to be more information available for consumers when it comes to labeling and even understanding the certification processes in industrialized countries like the U.S.

A huge fraction, if not the majority of organic goods sold at supermarkets in the U.S. is probably industrial, added McDermid. For now, in the developed world, the industrialization or commercialization of organic farming has resulted in a lot of difficulty for both consumers and researchers, who are trying to understand what the goals of this booming industry are.

To eat organic or not to eat organic

In the U.S., even sustainability experts continue to be unsure of whether food items like fruits and vegetables with the certified organic labels are in fact, genuinely organic or not. McDermid said that even she sometimes feels uncertain about what to buy in the supermarket.

That being said, both Wirsenius and McDermid agree that it is far more environmentally sustainable to eat organic chicken instead of beef that was produced conventionally. Yet, consuming large portions of organically produced meat will still have a bigger environmental impact than eating conventionally produced crops and fruits.

Taking into consideration the high costs involved in going 100 percent organic, especially when it comes to buying fruits and vegetables, McDermid said if you can afford to spend extra, she would recommend buying them.

It might also help to look for organic food that was grown locally. For instance, several community gardens grow organic vegetables that are sold in nearby farmers markets.

Keeping that in mind, theres no need to feel guilty or under pressure to spend extra for organic produce. I would never put that kind of pressure on anybody. Its really unfortunate were in a situation where agribusinesses focus only on yields, which makes an alternative form of farming comparatively much more expensive, sighed McDermid.

While the organic versus conventional farming debate rages on, there is one clear way to lower the environmental impact of your food, and it wont hurt your wallet: reducing the amount of meat in your diet.

How Adam Rippon and Jessica Iclisoy Made ItAnd MillionsOn Their Own – Forbes

Posted: at 10:46 pm


without comments

Jessica IIclisoy, founder of California Baby, and Adam Rippon, Olympic figure skater, at the 2019 ... [+] Forbes Under 30 Summit in Detroit.

Adam Rippon is a champion figure skater; hes competed all over the worldfrom the Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, to Turin, Italy. Hes also won Dancing with the Stars and just published a memoir. Jessica Iclisoy is a businesswoman; she founded California Baby, a $115-million-in-sales company pumping out more than 90 organic baby products to places like Whole Foods and Target, most of them made with products she grows on her farm.

On the surface, these two dont have all that much in common. But their stories are surprisingly similar. Both Rippon and Iclisoy are completely self-made. They came from nothing to build an Olympic career and $310 million fortune, respectively, and learned to trust themselves along the way.

When Rippon first started seriously training, he went out to California with only 80 euros in his pocket (he had just been on a trip). He was staying in his coachs basement and stealing apple and tea from his gym.

I was poor, but I wasnt dead; I wanted that nice tea, he joked on stage at the Under 30 Summit in Detroit, where he was on stage with Iclisoy and Forbes staff writer Chloe Sorvino.

All the while his coachwho cosigned the lease for his Jetta, on which Rippon splurged on a radio and power windows even though Rippon couldnt afford to pay himand his single mom cheered him on.

She was always pushing me when I didnt believe in myself and celebrated with me when things werent going well, he said.

Iclisoy started in her own kitchen. It was 1990, she was pregnant and reading baby product labels. Shocked by the chemicals in creams, lotions and diaper care, she started to make her own nontoxic organic baby products.

Once again, a mom came in to help: Iclisoys mom lent her $2,000 to launch California Baby. She began growing her own herbs and flowersshe now has a 100-acre farm in Santa Barbaramixing her products, opening a manufacturing facility and shelling them out at natural stores, learning along the way.

I didnt have an M.B.A.; I didnt go to college, she says. When I started California Baby, organic food wasnt even really on the map.

She decided not to take on any moneyIm still a hippie, just a hippie that wears Pradawhich she says is one of the most rewarding parts about being self made.

Self-made means freedom. I cant see myself working for anyone else, she said. My business revolves around who I am.

And its not just the freedom once youve built a brand, its the freedom you have while you are building it. The only thing on the line is yourself.

In those moments of feeling like I had nothing, it also meant I had nothing to lose, Rippon said. It was the most unafraid Id ever been.

That trust in oneself has allowed both Iclisoy and Rippon to think bigger. Iclisoy has rallied to regulate the natural beauty and skincare industry, launching the lobbying group Natural Advisory Council in 2016 to fight for labeling standards and safer ingredients.

Rippon, who is gay, came out publicly in 2015, making him the first openly gay athlete to represent the United States at the Olympics. He has since used his platform to advocate for LGBTQ rights, particularly LGBTQ youth.

Youre smarter than you think, he said. Trust your own intuitions. When I didnt trust myself I was led astray.
