Does Organic Cost More? In the organic sector we often hear the question: is organic more expensive, and why is that? The fact is organic foods are not more expensive when considering social, economic, political and environmental dimensions, but to understand that statement we have to look at who and what pays for the true costs of food production. Non-organic agriculture is subsidized in most part of the world. In other words, if the market does not pay what it costs to grow a crop the government often steps in with a subsidy to the farmers. Then It Is The Tax Payers Who Pays. The most important Costs for Organic Agriculture are the Costs for the Consultants, Inspection & Certification Process. However we feel when considering the true cost of production and the true value to the consumer of a superior product, organic is less costly to our health and the health of the planet. |
