Organic Food Debate 01
19/02/09
This is the first of a small series of discussions on the matter of organic food and will also briefly touch on vegan-ism. organic food has been popping up and ducking out of the food market for many years but lately has once again been brought into the limelight as farmers are now turning to fully organic farming to cover this “niche” market. The problem is that it is an extremely expensive process and no guarantee that there is enough demand to sustain the change over.
Organic Food Debate 01 – Demand
One of the underlying problems that the organic food industry faces today is the lack of demand for the products. Unfortunately, there simply aren’t enough people to make the business fully profitable for larger farms and smaller farms alike. Some small time businesses have been able to sustain the organic produce market in their local area as a niche product but many other farms simply cannot sacrifice the income they are receiving from mass production food stuffs for alternative organic farming methods even if they want to. Farms have been hit hard recently and the farming economy is already on the brink of extinction.
