    Organic September an initiative by the Soil Association to encourage the whole nation to try organic may be over  but that it’s still easy to incorporate organic into everyday life. You may think it’s more expensive, made up, or hard to get a hold of so we’ve busted the myths around organic…

    Myth busters
    Organic myths

    It’s no healthier for you

    Organic is nutritionally different – scientific research found organic milk and meat contains around 50% more omega-3 fatty acids than non-organic and organic fruit and vegetables have up to 68% more antioxidants. Eating organic also reduces your exposure to antibiotics and pesticides. Organic farmers avoid the use of pesticides. If all farming was organic, research suggests that pesticide use would drop by 98%. Over 320 pesticides can be routinely used in non-organic farming and these are often present in non-organic food. Farm animals account for almost two-thirds of all antibiotics used in the EU and these are passed down to us through the food chain. In organic farming systems the routine or preventative use of antibiotics is banned.

    Organic is expensive

    Organic can sometimesbe more expensive – but not every time. Staples like pulses, pasta, rice and wholegrains are often the same price and when you can, buying directly from farmers orthrough box schemes, helps too. If you plan meals in advance, eat less,but better meat or try different cheaper cutsand seasonal ingredients, eating organic can be achievable for everyone. When organic does cost more, you’re paying for the extra care organic farmers place on the environment and animal welfare.

    Organic is made up

    If you want to know exactly what’s in your food – choose organic. All organic food is fully traceable from farm to fork, so you can be sureof what you’re eating. The standards for organic food are laid down in European law so any food labelled as organic must meet strict rules and be independently inspected and certified by a business like the Soil Association. Soil Association Certificationis a symbol you can trust.

    Organic isn’t easily available

    Organic is everywhere, in over 8,000 shops across the country. Aldi, Lidl and Tesco have increased their organic lines, all milk at both McDonald’sand Pret is organic and schools, hospitals and universities across the country serve it every day. This year, the Soil Association has certified over 3,000 new organic products.

    Organic is old fashioned

    Sure, all food was produced organically 100 years ago – but it’s far from old fashioned. Some of the most innovative new products are organic – from nut butters to flavoured cold tea drinks, speciality flours and superfoods
