In one hand, you're holding a conventionally grown Granny Smith apple. In your other hand, you have one that's been organically grown. Both apples are firm, shiny and green. Both provide vitamins and fiber, and both are free of fat, sodium and cholesterol.The conventionally grown apple costs less and is a proven family favorite. But the organic apple has a label that says “USDA Organic〞. Does that mean it's better? Safe r? More nutritious? Several differences between organic and non­organic foods exist. Become a better informed consumer for your next trip to the supermarket. The word “organic〞 refers to the way farmers grow and process agricultural products, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products and meat. Organic farming practices are designed to encourage soil and water conservation and reduce pollution. Farmers who grow organic produce and meat don't use conventional methods to fertilize, control weeds or prevent livestock disease.Here are other differences between conventional farming and organic farming：The U．S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has established an organic certification program that requires all organic foods to meet strict government standards. These standards regulate how such foods are grown, handled and processed. Any farmer or food manufacturer who labels and sells a product as organic must be USDA certified as meeting these standards. Only producers who sell less than $5,000a year in organic foods are exempt (免除) from this certification.If a food bears a USDA Organic label, it means it's produced and processed according to the USDA standards. The seal is voluntary, but many organic producers use it.【解题导语】本文为一篇说明文。

Teffis known for its small grain. It is mainly used to make flour.Wayne Carlson learned about teff while doing public health work in Africa inthe mid­1970s.“I came to know teff because I was eating it all the time and hostedby teff farmers.” In the late 70s, Carlson returned to his home state Idaho in theUS, married and settled in Southwest Idaho. Then he came up with an idea.Wayne and his wife Elisabeth are not farmers, nor do they want to be. So they convinced a ctual f armers i n I daho, O regon a nd N evada t o g row t eff. T he C arlsons m illed (磨粉) it themselves. However, until last year there was not a single Ethiopian restaurant or bakery in the entire state of Idaho for them to sell the milled flour to. “The way we started was that Wayne went through the W ashington, D．C., and lookedfor the names that were Ethiopian in the telephone book.”Over time, the Teff Company has grown out four different mills. The Carlsonssay the teff flour coming off the mill could end up in a good natural foods store or commercial bakery. “Sales o f a lternatives (替代品) t o m odern w heat (小麦) a re g rowingquickly each year，” says an industry trade group.Rich Roseberg is a food researcher at Oregon State University. He says teff production has exploded over the past decade in the US. He also says most teff grownin the US is fed to farm animals. In Idaho, however, where the Carlsons are based, Roseberg believes more of the teff production is for human food. Teff contains lotsof calcium, iron, and protein. Roseberg praises Wayne Carlson for being ahead of histime.【文章大意】埃塞俄比亚画眉草的种子在埃塞俄比亚被用作食物原料，现在这种农作物被引进到了美国。
