Here is an explanation as I underastand it. "One percent of the farmland is certified organic, while 7 percent of the food sold is organic" Farmland produces a whole food like a tomato or an ear of corn. Many of these whole foods become ingredients in manufactured products. Many product only have slight changes that differentiate them from eachother. But none the less they become another SKU and another product to sell. Now yes on the surface one lb of produce should not equal seven lbs of manufactured goods. But I thought the food statistic was for sales value. There is money to be made in manufacturing. Am I understanding these statistics to be sales value? Does this mean that one dollar of mixed plants matter can make seven dollars if they are manufactured into something else?
Shared! I forgot to leave a rave review until now 😄 Thank you! another great conversation, I so appreciate your work.
I hope and pray that in the next four years we can grow by leaps and bounds.
The Organic Consumers Association is also a great group.

focus on nutrition and the organic part will follow.
