Products from farmers or from the store. What's better?

Why rustic and rural products can only be significantly more expensive than industrial? As far as it is reasonable and profitable? Does it make sense to change your table with a fully industrial home

In the seventies of the last century broiler chicken carcass weight gained 1.6 -1.8 kg for 90 days. Over the past 20 years, these same 1.6-1.8 kilograms he gains 42 days. There are other examples that make consumers think about how harmless technologies used by manufacturers of industrial food products. On the other hand, a lot of questions and to farm food: who will give a guarantee that eggs from hens home, bought in the market at the grandmother, is not contaminated with salmonella? Sure, you can only be in the product, which has grown itself, but whether this result is well worth the time and effort?

In this article, we are relying on the user experience Forumhouse, compare food from the store with the food of their own production and are trying to find answers to important questions.

Farming Food: pros

Interest in natural food growing farm. There are more online stores selling farm meat, farm cheese and farm vegetables; from bona fide farmers have always formed a circle of buyers, fashion recipes culinary bloggers start with the words "take the farmer's cheese"... People may grumble at the high cost of such products, but continue its buy. Why?

Farm food tastes better

What you can not argue with is the fact that food produced at the farm courtyard, the taste is completely different from industrial (immediately specify that a "farmer" we mean small-scale production of "first hand"). Farmers tomatoes smell as tomatoes, apples - apples. Sausage meat, salt and spices and the sausage from the store - so two different products that they do not even relatives.

My children do not understand "his meat", say the smell (I even know what - MEAT).

Farm products are natural

Farmers try not to get large amounts, and most often grown products at the old methods, natural methods of production. Among them are many of the organic agriculture and animal supporters, using only organic fertilizers and organic food. Typically, customers choose a farmer as a product that is sure to make a purchase, and it is from him.

Even more confidence in the products that we ourselves grow "for themselves." Chickens their own hands pour high quality feed in the trough, and we know that the canary-yellow color of the yolk is not from chemical additives in the feed, and from the nettle. We know that an apple tree nobody processed by pests pesticides. We are forced down oil and are confident that we eat butter instead of palm.

Torque takes chicken and weighed before and after cooking. We purchased 40% yield, from the home of 70%. There's your answer about the quality of farm products.

Fresh farm products

The store buyer is looking for an attractive chicken meat: fresh, elastic, pink, with a tender and juicy meat. That is the manufacturers and offer: now a lot of technologies, visually enhancing even the most dubious products.

Carcass first stained in life after death is chlorinated to give a pink color and tenderness of the skin, and then extruded with brine, and then beat off the massage vat.

To date, the safest - is the addition of a syringe of water to increase the weight, followed by freezing. And well, if simply water. And how restore of obsolete sausages, it is better not to know!

Farmer ethical products

Many have seen the field of agro-industrial companies using the most advanced farming techniques, which mercilessly drain the land. The spectacle sad and even scary. Growing vegetables in the beds, farmers green-manures improves the soil, organic matter and mulch. Farm chickens are not crammed into tiny cages and walk freely in the hen house and in the yard. And so on.

Farm products qualitatively

In our country, it can be clearly seen on the example of dairy products: the best cheese or imported or produced by farmers. For large manufacturers is important profit even in the fraction of a percent, and for her sake they accomplish with milk, all these treatments: degreasing-sublimation-breeding, add vegetable oil. The farmer will not do focus on the economy, to make a profit in a fraction of a percent, it is meaningless to him. Best farm strategy - to make the best possible quality products and find buyers willing to pay well for it high quality.

Farming Food: cons

If the food from your farmstead or farmsteads familiar and respected by all farmers is so good, why even the village people still buy products, mainly in the supermarkets? And the farm, with all sides natural products, a lot of minuses.

It is expensive

Homemade chicken several times more expensive than a similar chicken from the store. What should be the quality to be worth that kind of money?

Andrey Vasilyev

Agronomist, consultant FORUMHOUSE

Due to the cost of chicken meat is available for most of the population. A farm product available units. And one chicken for two is enough for one time, roughly speaking.

The use of farm food overrated

Of course, there are people for whom their own health and the health of the family - the main value, and they are willing to pay for food quality and safety is several times more than the rest. But it is vital the quality and food safety, as we think? Would be helped farmers curds harm caused us overall environmental situation? Does it make sense to pay more if the effect is statistically invisible?

Andrey Vasilyev

Perhaps modern man and will not become easier by eating "ekologichesokoy chicken", as the impact of the same automobile exhaust on his body is much higher?

Harm food supermarkets exaggerated

According to some studies, "normal" agricultural products, which when grown with the modern chemicals (pesticides rather than savage 50s) is not harmful to that which we grow in their country areas.

Andrey Vasilyev

I do not think that all store products much harmless, but consider him dangerous in a strange way. Chicken meat with poultry is one of the cheapest and most available. And something I believe weak that it is dangerous.

GMOs - a horror story for uneducated people

Participant of our portal with the nickname Marizinha - a biologist, and his whole life is taught in medical biology. Reading branch FORUMHOUSE, which discusses the potential danger of genetically modified products, it has come into genuine horror.

Marizinha

I recommend to take the school (!) Biology textbook for grades 10-11, preferably ed. prof. Belyaeva, to find there the paragraph entitled "Genetic Engineering", and carefully and thoughtfully read it. Note that only the school, accessible textbook!

GMO danger in our member food called horror stories that distract people from the real problems. With her agrees Andrey Vasilyev.

Andrey Vasilyev

Scientific evidence of harm from GMOs until I met some emotions such as "this in nature and because it is harmful and dangerous."

We do not know the conditions in which farm products are produced

It can be anything you want to talk about the villains of the food industry, but public health conditions contained cow in most households? I'm really not talking about standing all day in the 30-degree heat on the side of the road kind grandmother with milk bottles

By purchasing a standard product manufacturing, from sausages to the factory of milk, the buyer almost always knows exactly what he will buy. By making a purchase from a conditional grandmother, it is hard to guess what will be the quality of the product and how it will perceive the stomach.

conclusions

After weighing all the "pros" and "cons", the majority of people who care about their health, come to the conclusion that Food is the best personal strategy - a self-growing products power. In recent years, the share of young people, under 35 years, people in Russia who are buying garden is to grow your own vegetables, fruits and even meat.

Twenty years ago, in the cottages grown potatoes and radishes, and now every year more and more people who raise themselves for the winter meat products: and chickens, and turkeys. These people believe that they facilitate the fate of an organism, living in Moscow. If a person has land, the appearance of the first three layers - a matter of time.

Of course, it's pretty hard, it takes time and is often not profitable.

Even 10 years ago, it was profitable to keep pigs for themselves, just buying grain on the market. Now all the benefits evaporate, you can be comforted only by the fact that the meat of normal quality, "for himself", and the price of the meat is better not to think, it is very expensive.

Therefore, most likely, it does not make sense to completely change its product set with the industrial to the farm. But the maximum useful to dilute the food basket food home production will always be correct and useful.
