Organic food is known to contain 50% more nutrients, minerals and vitamins than
produce that has been intensively farmed.
Historically, organic farms have been relatively small family-run
farms which is why organic food was once only available in small stores or farmers'
markets. However, since the early 1990s organic food has had growth rates of around
20% a year, far ahead of the rest of the food industry, in both developed and developing
nations. As of April 2008, organic food accounts for 1-2% of food sales worldwide.
Future growth is expected to range from 10-50% annually depending on the country.
Early consumers interested in organic food would look for non-chemically treated,
fresh or minimally processed food. They mostly had to buy directly from growers:
"Know your farmer, know your food" was the motto. Personal definitions of what constituted
"organic" were developed through firsthand experience: by talking to farmers, seeing
farm conditions, and farming activities.
