Organic food continues to grow in popularity as consumers prioritize health, sustainability, and transparency in their food choices. The USDA Organic certification is at the forefront of this movement, ensuring that products meet rigorous standards for organic farming, free from synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, and GMOs.
