The exact definition of organic food differs across countries and certifiers.

The advent of shale oil and gas Following the financial crisis, investors in the U.S. sought to increase domestic production and reduce dependence on foreign oil and gas in turbulent international markets.

Production expanded rapidly in states with large permeable rock formations of sandstone, such as Texas and North Dakota. Surplus and instability The United States’ production of shale gas and tight oil has continued to grow uninhibitedly since 2008, leading to an oversupply by 2014. During the 2010s oil glut, output and revenue decreased as petroleum prices were destabilized worldwide. The trajectory of the gross output in the United States' oil and gas extraction industry largely precipitates the changes in total revenue, both reaching a high point in 2014 before a drastic fall the following year.

Organic food

In particular, the use of chemical fertilizers, synthetic pesticides, growth hormones and antibiotics is not allowed or only partly permitted. In addition, fewer food additives are permitted for the processing of organic foods. In the United States, organic foods are certified by the National Organic Program.
