RE: US Organic Suppliers Struggle To Keep Up With Demand

in #food7 years ago

Conventional farming requires many additives, but the produce is more stable for longer periods. This is not highly nutritious, but more profitable. Natural foods waste more quickly (this is good), so they are more expensive to ship and stock, especially over long distances. The solution is a more local supply chain - and seasonal eating. Just like the old days. Ironically, technology (internet, blockchain) can be a major enabler in this process.
