Organic transition lag noted in U S farmers
In a January 2006 Organic Monitor report from London, U S farmers struggle to switch to organic production while domestic consumers buy record organic foods. About 1.5 billion dollars in 2005 organic crops were imported, representing ten percent of total organic sales. exports were only 150 million. EU programs aid farmers with subsidies and guidance, while U S subsidies favor chemical and energy intensive farming and GM crops. The report warns that without more American farmers adopting organic practices exporters may seize the market. Norwich editor Sven Erik Alstrom notes youth alcoholism and related concerns.
