Organic foods are foods produced by methods that comply with organic agricultural standards. These standards vary around the world, and organic farming generally aims to promote resource cycles, ecological balance, and biodiversity conservation.

Currently, the European Union, the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, and many other countries require producers to obtain a special certification to sell food as organic within their borders.

The Organic Association of Iran and reputable inspection companies like Biosan Gohar in Iran provide the necessary training for producing organic products.

Organizations that regulate organic products restrict the use of certain pesticides and fertilizers in agriculture. In general, organic foods are also typically processed without the use of radiation, industrial solvents, or synthetic food additives.

Fertilization and the use of pesticides in conventional agriculture have caused significant damage worldwide to local ecosystems, biodiversity, groundwater resources, and drinking water, and sometimes the health and fertility of farmers. These environmental, economic, and health issues are significantly reduced or entirely avoided in organic farming. Organic foods are healthier and safer than conventional foods.

Organic food products are grown under an agricultural system that avoids the use of harmful chemical fertilizers and pesticides with an environmentally and socially responsible approach. This is a farming method that works at the pasture level and produces nutritious and vibrant food that is resistant to diseases while maintaining the reproductive capacity of the soil, good plant nutrition, and proper soil management. In this method, plant growth is beneficial for natural growth and always contributes to health. Most countries have supervision over the cultivation of organic products. The United States uses USDA certification, and India uses the India Organic NPOP (National Program for Organic Production) certification.

Organic food products have many benefits. Organic foods contain fewer pesticides. This means that substances like insecticides used in most agricultural activities are eliminated. People are concerned about these chemicals that are used to preserve food, which are then consumed by those who purchase them. Pesticide-free farming is also better for the environment. Fewer chemicals are placed on the land, and they enter the soil and water sources less frequently. Organic meats may also contain significantly more nutrients. Nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids in organic meat and milk were found to be up to 50 percent higher than those in conventionally raised products.

One of the main reasons people shy away from organic products is the costs. In 2015, on average, organic products were 47 percent more expensive. Organic products can vary significantly in price. According to a study conducted by customersreports.org, organic products ranged from 13 percent cheaper to 303 percent more expensive than non-organic products. The reason organic products generally cost much more is the production process. Many factors play a role in this cost. First, the demand for an organic product exceeds the availability of organic products. Without synthetic pesticides, the amount of food will be less. This smaller production of organic foods translates to higher costs. Additionally, the labor required per unit of food is higher compared to the mass production of non-organic products.
