Sustainability and health benefits of organic farming
06 Nov 2017 | Organic Trade Association
The Organic Trade Association (OTA) is the membership-based business association for organic agriculture and products in North America. The organization’s Director for International Trade, Monique Marez, says organic farming is sustainable: “In terms of business sustainability, absolutely; consumers are demanding more and more organic products. If we’re talking about environmental sustainability, without a doubt, organic farming is one of the most sustainable forms of agriculture.” Marez notes that the organization would like to see more farmers convert to organic despite the short-term challenges, and explains the benefits of organic produce, both nutritionally and as a social justice issue for farmers.
