Organic growth

FASHION HAS its trends and, apparently, so does produce. When it comes to fruits and vegetables, buying organic is the latest craze among health-conscious individuals. According to the Massachusetts-based Organic Trade Organization, North America has nearly 3.7 million acres of farmland under organic management.

Since 1997, U.S. organic food sales have grown between 17 and 21 percent and represent about 2 percent of total food sales.
