US Organic Suppliers Struggle To Keep Up With Demand

In Romania the organic food is like 4-5 times higher than the normal prices. And the ironic part here is that you actually pay more if you farm the land with insecticides, pesticides, azot and other chemicals.

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.
