If we are to consider the evolution of food production over the years, organic food stores are a novelty. At the beginning of the 20th century the higher need for food led to the creation of artificial means of making the land more fertile and crops more profitable, which opened the door for pesticides, fertilizers and the rest of the chemicals. 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.

Fruits and vegetables look great, chicken breast is large, but there is little flavor in this over-grown food. 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 is making waves worldwide in dire contrast with the chemical-saturated items from non-organic crops.

Organic food stores are far from dominating the market. Organic food comes for a higher price, it is harder to get and little is known 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. We may witness changes in the production of organic food in the near future. A decline in quality could easily follow given the demographical extent of the world’s population.

What would happen if half the globe’s population suddenly started to buy food from organic food stores alone? We’d definitely face a food crisis because the organic food production is limited and incapable of supporting massive needs for the moment. Therefore, non-organic food remains a necessity that is not likely to vanish overnight. Most people tend to buy food from both non-organic and organic food stores in parallel. And a just conclusion here is that a pretty healthy mentality is to limit the intake of very unbalanced products that rely on food additives, colorants, sugar and saturated fats, and focus on fresh food instead.
