"Authentic alignment with shared values, not pandering to what's trending, will win the day organically. " #organic #organicproducts #organicfarming #cpg
Organic instigator. Builder of sustainable & sustaining enterprises. Solver of complex problems. Lover of abstract art, family, friends & pie - not necessarily in that order
Coming out of both #ExpoWest2025 and #Organicology back to back over the last two weeks has me thinking about market and consumer expectations, which are not always the same thing. Today’s consumers demand more than organic certification—they are seeking something of their locale, transparency, sustainability, and ethical sourcing. Notably, it is only the exceptional retail buyer or consumer who can quantify what they mean by any of those terms. I don't mean this as a criticism, just an important point when trying to convince either to buy your stuff. What is clear from my journeys out in the world is that businesses must go beyond mere compliance to embrace initiatives like regenerative agriculture, fair minded trade practices, and carbon neutrality. These values must be real, not manufactured just for public consumption. Coherent communication of these efforts through marketing campaigns and sustainability reports is now table stakes, but turning organic compliance into a competitive advantage, along with telling your story authentically with passion can get you where you want to go. By listening to consumer feedback and staying ahead of trends, enterprises can remain relevant in an increasingly discerning market. Having said that, the future of #organic success lies in alignment of your business philosophy and practices with the values that buyers and consumers hold dear. Authentic alignment with shared values, not pandering to what's trending, will win the day organically. Wolf & Associates, Inc.
