significantly with consumers, spending a considerably higher amount of money
on them as compared to the amount spent on inorganic foods. The US market
noted an increase in sales of more than 10% between 2014 and 2015 (Brown,

considering the environmental effects of foods, organic foods present less risk of

hormones and/or antibiotics.
