1) Organic foods is the subject. are produced is the passive verb. without man-made pesticides and chemical fertilizers is the object of the preposition. (instrumental case)
2)Organic food sales have grown immensely over the last decade, and most traditional grocery stores now carry organic foods. sales is the subject: the first noun, organic food is the adjectival phrase, have grown is the verb, over is the preposition, the is the determinant, decade is the noun, decade is the noun, the last is the adjective, and is the conjunction, the rest of the sentence is the second phrase. most is an adverb modifying teh adjective traditional, grocery is another adjective modifying the noun stores, now is an adverb, carry is the verb, organic is the adjective modifiying foods which is the direct object.
