Organic food stores are a novelty if we are to consider the evolution of food production over the years. In the first decades of the 20th century there was a boom in the development of chemical substances that could increase the efficiency of crops, making land more fertile and eliminating the risks of plant and animal disease as well as the threat of insects. Hunger could have been eliminated for good in the new context of agricultural production. Well, in almost a century, farming has reached such a level that chicken, pigs and cattle are raised in farms, fed on the dead remains of their kin and kept captive in a two fit box for their entire short life.
Plant crops on the other hand are overstimulated, and the vegetables and fruits are incredibly beautiful, swollen with water but very little tasty. Was this the dream of fertility that the pioneers of modern farming aimed to fulfill? Or were they just pursuing personal wealth? No matter the situation, there is a growing trend of returning to traditional farming, and the products of small family businesses that start to grow locally, are sold and promoted in organic food stores all over the world. Organic food now stands in opposition with non-organic crops that serve for mass consume.
Organic food stores are far from dominating the market. Organic food comes for a higher price, it is harder to get and not everyone knows enough about it. However, the fact that such products do exist and more and more people are eager to buy them, points to the fact that little by little changes do appear in the collective mentality. It may happen that in ten years from now the standards of producing organic food may get lower because of this higher market demand. A decline would be normal and easy to imagine given the extent to which mankind has developed demographically.
It is not difficult to picture what would happen if half the world’s population started buying food from organic food stores exclusively. There would be a food crisis because of the discrepancy between the capacity to produce food and the massive demands. Therefore, non-organic food is still a necessity that has to be tolerated or put up with. Most people tend to buy food from both non-organic and organic food stores in parallel. And a fair conclusion here is to limit the number of chemicals in the food intake and replace them with healthy nutrients.
