Ireland ideal for organic food growth

IT’S the season for overeating and the time of year when minds are most focused on food.

We hear plenty about organic food, but only a fraction of what’s being consumed could be labelled truly organic.

While organic turkeys, geese and other meats are available, the amount of organic food we eat in Ireland is still very low. The organic sector is really tiny in relation to overall food production, but it is growing by about 11% per year.
