Eating organic means choosing responsible food that is more respectful of the environment. In addition, most organic products have significantly better nutritional qualities than non-organic foods. And that, many French people have understood it well, since in 15 years the French organic market has exploded, according to Agence Bio. In 1999, the turnover of organic was estimated at 1 billion euros, today it has reached 7.1 billion euros. In 2016 alone, the consumption of organic products increased by 21.7%. A considerable difference!
For the year 2016, more than 1.5 million hectares of land were cultivated organically in France, i.e. 17% more than in 2015. This increase has made it possible to make organic products more accessible, as well as French people consume it everywhere. We buy it at the supermarket, in specialized stores, from the producer, but we also consume it in restaurants or snack bars. The explosion of the organic market in France shows that more and more French people are becoming aware of the need to eat well and produce healthy food, for us and for the environment. A news that makes you happy!
