"The organic movement has become a $7.7 billion business: call it Industrial Organic. Although that represents but a fraction of the $400 billion business of selling Americans food, organic is now the fastest-growing category in the supermarket....Even today, the rapid growth of organic closely tracks consumers' rising worries about the conventional food supply--about chemicals, about additives and, most recently [2001], about genetically modified ingredients and mad cow disease; every food scare is followed by a spike in organic sales." (NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE) This article explains how the organic food trade has filled a marketing niche and created a multibillion-dollar industry.
