The Organic Farming Research Foundation defines organic food as food that is grown through agricultural systems that do not use genetically modified seeds, synthetic pesticides, or fertilizers. Organic farming helps the environment by benefiting water quality, soil health, and biodiversity. The top selling organic products are apples, lettuce, and grapes. This relevant and timely edition discusses organic and natural foods, describing what they are, how they are grown, where they are sold, and their future production. Readers will be inspired to think critically about organic food and how its production and demand impacts their peers and community.

Booklist Review

Like others in the Hot Topics series, this title about organic foods gives a concise but thorough overview of a complex issue. The introduction, Organic Goes Mainstream, points to the timeliness of the topic, and students preparing reports or those simply interested in the health and environmental benefits of organic foods will appreciate the carefully presented, well-researched chapters about the history of the organic movement, the controversy surrounding organic standards, and criticisms of organic methods from the conventional food industry. Sidebars, study questions, ample photos, and comprehensive chapter notes complete this on-target resource.--Engberg, Gillian Copyright 2008 Booklist
