New Report Shows Growing Non-GMO Market
Agriculture Industry Today shared coverage of a market research report on non-GMO foods. The analysis, titled "Global non-GMO Food Market 2014–2018," identified major brands including Amy's Kitchen, Nature's Path, Organic Valley, and The Hain Celestial as key vendors in this sector.
According to the research, "the Global Non-GMO Food Market will grow at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.92 percent over the period 2013–2018." Consumer awareness regarding food origins has intensified, with farm-to-table movements gaining popularity and discussions about climate change and environmental concerns influencing purchasing decisions.
The article explains that while GMOs offer disease resistance benefits, health and environmental concerns have driven demand for non-GMO alternatives, particularly in the US, Japan, Europe, and Canada.
Vegalab presented its perspective on addressing this issue through natural agricultural methods. The company emphasized using natural fungicides, pesticides, and fertilizers rather than harsh chemicals. Vegalab highlighted its development of plant-derived compounds and technologies like micronization and amplification to create effective natural products that maintain crop health while protecting environmental and human health.
The piece concludes that ongoing GMO debate has created expanded food choices, prompting consumers to examine their food sources and cultivation methods more carefully.
