Already a $9 billion market, organic foods and beverages are the fastest-growing categories of the food industry. Driven by increased consumer awareness of the nexus between healthy eating and health, and buoyed by federal regulations that provide clear guidance on how to label products, the organic industry has evolved from a locally farmed, locally shopped niche to a global concern with global U.S.-based food and beverage marketers taking an active role as key players. Old-line food giants such as Kellogg, Kraft, Heinz and General Mills now have a stake in popular brands of organic foods and beverages. And the consumer profile of an organic shopper is changing, as a younger, more ethnically diverse and economically varied audience has begun to seek these products. The U.S. Market for Organic Foods and Beverages, 3rd Edition, offers a comprehensive look at this burgeoning industry, and offers the benefit of quantitative and qualitative analyses buoyed by the insight of top experts in the field.
