Book review -3

 

Now organic food become popular in the world.


At first, organic production and consumption is booming in the US.
But this boom is not only in the US but in many other countries as well.

In Switzerland 11%

In Australia 9%                        of farmers are organic.

In Denmark 6%

And, organic food makes up 4%of food sales in Denmark & Australia, 2% in Germany & Switzerland, and 1.5% in the US.

 

 
              





Organic production is pushed by positive government regulation in many places.

For example, several EU countries assist in building organic marketing channnels, and provide technical assistance and information specifically for organic farmes.

Consumer demand is huge and increasing. Estimates place the growth of US organic marlets at 20% annually since 1990. Surprisingly 72% of conventional grocery stores now carry some organic food!

I don't expect organic food is such popular in the US. And, organic food spread in the world now, but I thin this influence is still poor. So I wish organic food became more familiar in the world and also Japan!!
