Organic food is food produced by methods that comply with the standards of organic farming. Standards vary worldwide, but organic farming in general features practices that strive to cycle resources, promote ecological balance, and conserve biodiversity.

In general, organic foods are also usually not processed using irradiation, industrial solvents or synthetic food additives
