Fast food restaurants use organically grown food products that promote ecological balance and biodiversity and limit the use of certain dangerous fertilizers and pesticides.

Organic fast-food products do not include genetically modified organisms (GMOs), synthetic pesticides, artificial colors or dyes, synthetic herbicides, antibiotics, artificial preservatives, and ionizing radiation for food preservatives.
Looking ahead, the publisher expects the global fast-food market to continue to grow moderately over the next five years. Quick service restaurant (QSR) establishments usually have a limited menu and food is prepared in advance in large quantities, which is then heated and packed for take-out or dinner on site. They offer a wide variety of inexpensive food and drinks, such as burgers, sandwiches, pizzas, pastas, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages, desserts, cakes, pastries, chicken, seafood, etc., and that are inspired by local ingredients and cuisine. Other than that, these restaurants are typically part of an existing restaurant chain or franchise operation that provides standardized ingredients and / or partially prepared foods to restaurants through controlled supply channels
Fast food is a mass-produced food that is prepared and served very quickly. Typically, this food is less nutritionally valuable compared to other dishes and foods. While any meal with low preparation time can be considered fast food, normally the term refers to food sold in a store or restaurant with precooked or preheated ingredients and served to the customer in a packaged form for a take-away. Organic fast foods are the alternatives to the conventionally available fast food products which are unhealthy. Organic fast foods use products that are produced by organic farming, which promotes ecological biodiversity and balance and limits the use of certain harmful fertilizers and pesticides. The organic fast foods do not contain genetically modified organisms, artificial dyes or colors, antibiotics, synthetic pesticides, artificial preservatives, synthetic herbicides, and ionizing radiation for food preservatives.
The organic fast-food market is a new trend and is gaining popularity around the world due to increased consumer awareness of a healthy and easy-to-prepare food option. The increased use of harmful pesticides and fertilizers in food products and their adverse effects on human health are also among the driving forces behind the growth of the organic fast-food market. The significant growth of the food and beverage industry, along with the widespread adoption of franchise business models by popular restaurant chains, is one of the key factors creating a positive outlook for the market. In addition, the increase in the workforce and the improvement of the lifestyles of consumers around the world have improved the consumption of fast-food products. Also, due to busy schedules, take-out foods are widely adopted and can be easily purchased and consumed while traveling. This, therefore, creates a positive outlook for the market. Additionally, the emerging coffee culture, along with the availability of healthier fast-food alternatives, is acting as another growth engine. Other factors, including modernization and digitization of restaurants, along with the use of touchscreen kiosks, kitchen screens, and digital vending terminals, are expected to drive the market.
The main limitations of the market are the high cost of organic fast food. Also, many studies claim that organic food is unhealthy because it contains harmful bacteria and viruses. However, none of these studies show that the presence of bacteria/viruses has a direct impact on the general health of people.
