SEEDS OF CHANGE

Nicholas Mead says: is organic food a healthier way to eat, or a pricey marketing ploy?

Although organic food is as old as the hills, some consider it just another new-age fad alongside such things as yoga, tai-chi and bio-diesel. The Minister David Milliband dismissed organic food as nothing more than a lifestyle choice. Never, skeptics maintain that organic is nothing but a marketing label.
Organic crops are those that have been grown without modern industrial methods such as pesticides, artificial fertilizers and they have also been processed without food additives. A result of these is that organic farms still only account for two percent of Spain farms, and over 80 percent of heir produce is exported.
