Conventionally grown - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Conventionally grown is an agriculture term referring to a method of growing edible plants (such as fruit and vegetables) and other products. Conventionally grown products, meanwhile, often use fertilisers and pesticides which allow for higher yield, out of season growth, greater resistance, greater longetivity and a generally greater mass. It is opposite to organic growing methods which attempt to produce without synthetic chemicals (fertilisers, pesticides, antibiotics, hormones) or genetically modified organisms. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Conventionally_grown

Comparison of food quality of organically versus conventionally grown plant foods Conventionally grown carrots (fall-winter crop) had significantly higher nitrate levels in 4 of 8 cases, while organically grown were higher in 3 of 8 cases; the nitrogen supplies for both types of carrots were equivalent. Conventionally grown tomatoes were significantly higher in crude protein (fresh weight basis) for the first of two growing seasons, but no difference based on cultural practices was found for the second (Clarke and Merrow, 1979). Differences between the chromatograms of organically grown and NPK fertilized collards detected by a panel and based primarily on differences in the pattern of the spokes were thought to be due to the effect of nitrate concentrations (Knorr, 1982b). www.eap.mcgill.ca /Publications/EAP38.htm

Nutritional Considerations - Organic Trade Association There is mounting evidence that organically grown fruits, vegetables and grains may offer more of some nutrients, including vitamin C, iron, magnesium and phosphorus, and less exposure to nitrates and pesticide residues than their counterparts grown using synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. Organic fruits and vegetables have only a third as many pesticide residues as their conventionally grown counterparts, according to a study by Consumers Union (CU) and the Organic Materials Review Institute. Reviewing 41 published studies comparing the nutritional value of organically grown and conventionally grown fruits, vegetables, and grains, certified nutrition specialist Virginia Worthington has concluded there are significantly more of several nutrients in organic crops. www.ota.com /organic/benefits/nutrition.html   (1199 words)

Out There Tracks of my tears Men, on the other hand, were brought up to believe that it was preferable to lose a limb than to shed a tear. Back when men ruled the world, a woman’s public tears were the ultimate expression of her vulnerability, her emotional fragility and temperament, her innate frailty and inability to handle the stress of the big, bad world. Apparently, men are now co-opting tears for their own purposes, and using them as a management tool. www.bostonphoenix.com /boston/news_features/out_there/documents/02339535.htm   (1199 words)

David Byrne: Grown Backwards: Pitchfork Review If you hold the cover of Grown Backwards before your face at the precise angle, twisting your head to the right slightly, the mirrored finish of its packaging superimposes your visage over David Byrne's remarkably unchanged face. Like the Neverland of J.M. Barrie, alluded to on "Pirates", Grown Backwards sounds like a subconscious composite of Byrne's loves, fears, influences, and fantasies. Grown Backwards, as the title suggests, skips whistling into maturity, and employs this concept as its thematic core. www.pitchforkmedia.com /record-reviews/b/byrne_david/grown-backwards.shtml   (1012 words)

Organic Foods Really DO Have Less Pesticides: New Study from Consumers Union A conventionally grown apple tested by USDA in 1996 was more likely to contain four or more residues than to contain three or less, and some individual samples have been found with as many as 14 different residues. Conventionally grown samples had multiple residues in 46, 12 and 62 percent of USDA, DPR and CU samples, respectively. CU tests found residues in 79 percent of conventionally grown samples and 27 percent of organically grown samples, with multiple residues ten times as common in the former. www.mindfully.org /Food/Organic-Less-Pesticides8may02.htm   (1012 words)

MOFGA - Organic Food Conventionally grown foods cost less because the unseen costs of creating synthetic inputs, the resulting pollution from spreading them, and possible long-term health effects of pesticide residues in our food are passed on to the consumer and the environment. As a result, the organically grown plant will be able to add more and complex components to all of it's parts, including its fruit, resulting in a pepper chock-full of micro-nutrients and trace minerals that are important for human nutrition. Many people are aware that food that is grown according to organic principles is free from exposure to harmful herbicides and pesticides, but that is only one small aspect of organic agriculture. www.incywincy.com /default?catid=29220&cached=www.mofga.org/food.html   (1012 words)

Pesticide Residues In Conventional, IPM-Grown And Organic Foods: Insights From Three U.S. Data Sets (summary) A conventionally grown apple tested by USDA in 1996 was more likely to contain four or more residues than to contain three or less, and some individual samples have been found with as many as 14 different residues. Conventionally grown samples had multiple residues in 46, 12 and 62 percent of USDA, DPR and CU samples, respectively. Conventionally grown samples consistently had residues far more often than other categories. www.consumersunion.org /food/organicsumm.htm   (1012 words)

The case for organics The use of organically grown feeds led to higher pregnancy rates, more embryos, larger litters and better health of rabbits over three generations, in spite of the fact that the feed pellets for the two groups were shown to be identical in terms of known essential and harmful ingredients. The organically grown food averaged 63% higher in calcium, 78% higher in chromium, 73% higher in iron, 118% higher in magnesium, 178% higher in molybdenum, 91% higher in phosphorus, 125% higher in potassium and 60% higher in zinc. Organically grown produce was higher in most minerals and vitamins and lower in potentially harmful nitrates, which result from nitrogen fertilizers. journeytoforever.org /garden_organiccase.html   (4139 words)

www.coffeereview.com - the worlds leading coffee buying guide - Organically Grown Coffees I cupped approximately twenty organically grown coffees and found none seriously compromised in quality and several that were exceptional in both cup quality and character. Not only are organically grown coffees safer for workers and the natural world than most conventionally grown coffees, but many, if not most, organics are produced by cooperatives of peasant farmers whose livelihood is considerably enhanced by the small premium consumers pay for organically certified beans. Furthermore, over the past several years the organic movement also has succeeded in adding to the initially short list of organic origins available to the aficionado. www.coffeereview.com /articles/print/3.cfm   (803 words)

Encyclopedia Mythica: Origin of month names However, the name might also come from iuniores (young men; juniors) as opposed to maiores (grown men; majors) for May, the two months being dedicated to young and old men.

HOME GROWN TERRORISM Since 1960 crime (home grown terrorism) in the USA has increased by 350% and America now leads the top 100 largest nations in most crime categories. Home grown terrorism since 9/11 has cost over 2 trillion dollars. But in that same period of time, violent crime (home grown terrorism) in our own country has claimed the lives of approximately 50,000 Americans and subjected some two million more to serious injury and trauma. www.atps.com /homegrownterrorism/index.html   (213 words)

David Byrne: Grown Backwards - PopMatters Music Review That stinks up its corners of Grown Backwards like it did to Look into the Eyeball, but only a couple of songs suffer heavily for it, namely "Dialog Box" and "Civilization", both of which at least prepared the listener for his or her immanent groan with their titles. Indeed, Grown Backwards is not without its flaws, from songs that sound more like a soundtrack than something that deserves full attention to lyrics that seem like holdovers from a persona Byrne has been well-served in at least partially shedding. Grown Backwards' restraint risks landing it in a coffeehouse ghetto that only asks for its music to be ignorable, but just because something can be ignored doesn't mean that it should, as the solid handful of excellent moments here proves. www.popmatters.com /music/reviews/b/byrnedavid-grown.shtml   (1040 words)

ConsumerReports.org - Organic food and pesticides Conventionally grown crops are six times as likely as organic ones to contain residues of more than one pesticide, the data show. The study shows that people who buy organic produce are one-third as likely to encounter pesticide residues as those who buy conventionally grown foods. Almost by definition, organically grown fruit and vegetables contain fewer pesticides than conventionally grown produce. www.consumerreports.org /main/detailv2.jsp?CONTENT%3C%3Ecnt_id=159149&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=18151&bmUID=1027601622843   (1040 words)

CU’s tests found residues in 79 percent of conventionally grown samples and in 27 percent of organically grown samples, with multiple residues six times as common in the former. The USDA data showed that 73 percent of conventionally grown produce had at least one pesticide residue, while only 23 percent of organically grown samples of the same crops contained residues. www.ecomall.com /greenshopping/organicfoodfacts.htm   (1040 words)

Buying Organic: For the environmentalist or the health-conscious? Ascorbic acid concentrations were significantly higher in the sustainably grown strawberries and in the organically and sustainably grown corn than in their conventionally grown counterparts. In the case of marionberries, conventionally and organically grown samples showed no detectable levels of ascorbic acid while the sustainably grown samples had measurable ascorbic acid content. The results showed significantly higher levels of total phenolics in the corn, marionberries, and strawberries that were produced organically and in those produced sustainably, compared to conventionally grown. www.fsci.umn.edu /pf/outreach/faculty_outreach/nutrinet/archives/february_2005/buyingorganic.html   (1040 words)

World Bank Group Producer Organizations UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: Profitable Markets Organically Grown Products and Advice Further impacts are that organic foods have increased in sales by more than 25% per year for the last 5 years and the sale of organically grown foods is expected to exceed $3 Billion in the US in 1996. The profitability of organic farming has been demonstrated on virtually all crops grown in California and virtually all scales of operation, from 5 acre mini farms to clients who farm in excess of 20,000 acres. The increasing interest in ecological and organic agriculture in the U.S. has hastened the need for on farm technical assistance for growers who are farming organically or wishing to make the transition to organic farming. lnweb18.worldbank.org /ESSD/ardext.nsf/16ByDocName/UNITEDSTATESOFAMERICAProfitableMarketsOrganicallyGrownProductsandAdvice   (1481 words)

Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation Foods grown by these methods came to be known as “organic.” Today, this notion has continued in the alternate health arena, and some alternative treatments, such as the Gerson cancer therapy, rely on food grown organically. Compared to crops grown with chemical fertilizers and pesticides, organically grown crops generally have a higher vitamin C content, a lower content of carcinogenic nitrates and better protein quality. Again, these results support the notion that organically produced crops may be more conducive to good health and hence more nutritious. www.price-pottenger.org /Articles/OrganicNutrition.html   (1018 words)

Organic Foods Really DO Have Less Pesticides: New Study from Consumers Union Organic agriculture, with its strictures against the use of synthetic chemical inputs, seems to offer a low-residue alternative to conventionally-grown produce; avoiding exposure to pesticides is one major reason consumers buy organic foods. Organically grown samples consistently had far smaller percentages with residues: 23, 6.5 and 27 percent in the USDA, DPR and CU data, respectively. CU tests found residues in 79 percent of conventionally grown samples and 27 percent of organically grown samples, with multiple residues ten times as common in the former. www.mindfully.org /Food/Organic-Less-Pesticides8may02.htm   (2819 words)

Stassen Australasia - Organically Grown Tea Estates Organic agriculture is a sustainable form of farming where cultivation is carried out without the use of chemically synthesized products, pesticides or insecticides.

PANNA: Market Potential of Organically Grown Cotton. Julia Kveton Apodaca. Global Pesticide Campaigner, May 1992. PANNA. The market for organically produced food has grown tremendously during the last decade, due to concern about pesticide residues and other potentially carcinogenic additives in food. Organic cotton must be grown without chemicals on land that has been chemical-free for a time specified by certifying agencies. Those consumers who buy organic clothing and bedding are not worried about the effects of traditionally produced textiles on their health; rather, they want to encourage producers and processors of fibers to use environmentally benign methods. www.panna.org /resources/pestis/PESTIS.burst.19.html   (1268 words)

ET 2/95: Growing Coffee with a Conscience Organically grown coffee - farmed without the use of chemicals - is the alternative choice for consumers who can't stand the thought of desecrating the environment just for a cup of coffee. The Organic Crop Improvement Association (OCIA) International, based in Bellefontaine, Ohio, is an internationally recognized farmer-owned and operated professional group of organic farmers and processors. Farms are inspected closely by OCIA staff, who also inspect processing plants, inspectors and distributors to make sure organic coffee beans aren't sprayed with chemicals or mixed up with non-organic coffee. www.sdearthtimes.com /et0295/et0295s3.html   (1803 words)

The Advertiser: Grown men should have the courage to break out crying [06apr05] Could there be a direct connection between the obsession with men to bottle up their emotions and the suicide rate?

Home Grown Vegetables Therefore we should put aside all things that will injure or harm our health so that we can present ourselves living not dying sacrifices for God. We should have a home with area around it so that we can grow plants that are pleasing to the sight, as well as those that provide food for our bodies. The beautiful garden of Eden, which was not just a garden but Adam and Eve's home as well, is a good example for us to follow. islandgrove.qldwide.net.au /home_grown_veg.html   (471 words)
