National Organic Week Australia, an event intended to increase awareness of the benefits of organic products and farming production systems, is now underway.
Until Sunday 25th September, targeted media and locally-held activities around the country will provide opportunities for the public to learn more about the benefits of going organic. Organisers hope to accelerate the uptake of organic products and production in the wider Australian community.
Host of Gardening Australia, Costa Georgiadis, is ambassador of National Organic Week.
“As consumers, you want food you can recognise and trust. Buying organic products supports food safety, health, good nutrition and the environment. Products that carry the logo of an accredited organic certification body are guaranteed to be genuine organic,” he said.
