In the US&comma; this is the National Organic Program &lpar;NOP&rpar;&period; Organic food can be bought in many stores&period; The most popular of them is Whole Foods&semi; its product range consists mainly of bio-products&period; Despite the growing popularity of organic products&comma; they account for 3&percnt; of the total volume of products manufactured in the United States&period; Unfortunately&comma; prices for organic products are high&period; However&comma; it is always possible to find the best price offers in various malls&comma; using car rental in Chicago O’Hare Airport&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Most American stores along with regular food offer organic meats&comma; fruits&comma; and vegetables&period; They are significantly more expensive&comma; but&comma; as manufacturers say&comma; much more useful for health&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>In addition&comma; companies that deliver organic products directly from the farm are now in great demand in the USA&period; They are responsible for the freshness and quality of the products&comma; and the buyer can&comma; if desired&comma; come to the areas where they grow fruits and vegetables&period; Seasonal berries can be picked up with the children on a farm &&num;8211&semi; this is a pleasant walk&comma; and benefits for the whole family&period; Never in the store will you see such ripe&comma; tasty&comma; fragrant berries like the berries you collect with your own hands on the farm&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><img src&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;upload&period;wikimedia&period;org&sol;wikipedia&sol;commons&sol;2&sol;2e&sol;Organic&lowbar;food&lowbar;in&lowbar;Turkey&period;jpg" &sol;><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The certification system for organic products has been developed in the USA&comma; European Union&comma; Canada&comma; Mexico&comma; Japan and some other countries&period; In the United States&comma; the Department of Agriculture does this certification&period; The first standard for organic products appeared in the USA on October 21&comma; 2002&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Organic products are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers&period; Seeds of organic plants before sowing are not irradiated with radiation&period; At the same time&comma; the main document in this area &&num;8211&semi; the Act on the production of organic products &&num;8211&semi; contains a rather long list of permitted pesticides that are considered natural&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>In order for vegetables or fruits to get the proud title of organic&comma; the soil beneath them must be specially prepared&period; They need to be fertilized only with safe substances&semi; poisons are not used in pest control&period; Organic foodstuffs should be brought to the market or shop in a special way &&num;8211&semi;

If this happened unintentionally and there no more than 5&percnt; of the level of pesticides allowed in conventional products was found&comma; this is not considered a violation in the production of organic food&period; If the manufacturer of organic products used banned pesticides or did not do something to avoid them from getting into their products&comma; this is considered a gross violation of organic standards&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The main goal of people buying organic products is to limit the ingestion of pesticides to the body&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Pesticides in foods affect the children the most because of the immature system of excretion of residues of poisons from the body and their low body weight&period; Scientific studies have proven that pesticides can damage the nervous system of children&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><img src&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;upload&period;wikimedia&period;org&sol;wikipedia&sol;commons&sol;6&sol;63&sol;Best&lowbar;organic&lowbar;produce&lowbar;Toronto&period;jpg" &sol;><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>A study&comma;
