A multitude of reasons why #Organic is continually increasing as presented by John Foraker #certification #sustainbility
“Organic will be more important in the future than it is today.” Pretty inspiring comment from keynote speaker John Foraker last week. Considering organic topped $69 billion in sales in 2023,I'd say the future is bright! Here are some key takeaways that resonated with me from #organicweek in Washington DC last week: ?? The organic market is booming, especially in beverages (think plant-based milk!) – great news for a sustainable future. ?? Organic snacking is on the rise, with nutrition bars leading the pack (a trend PURIS fully supports!). ?? Millennials and Gen Z are driving the organic movement, ensuring a healthy and sustainable future for agriculture. ???? Organic is more than a label – it's a legally mandated system that fosters soil health and biodiversity. These insights solidify my belief that organic agriculture is the foundation for a thriving plant-based food industry. Excited to share more about PURIS' commitment to organic farming in my new blog post (link in comments)!
