Blockbuster in 2018: Study Finds Benefits to Eating Organic
December 28, 2018
The American Medical Association released a study in 2018 showing a 25% drop in cancer diagnoses for people who eat organic. This could be a big win for Texas organic farmers. How will we get this information to consumers? In Texas we rely mostly on private companies and the Texas Department of Agriculture to market Texas-grown organic foods. Is this enough? Leave comments to share your thoughts on how we could market Texas organics!
Here is a good summary article from New Hope Network on the impact of this research.
Sue Beckwith (she/her) is the Executive Director of the Texas Center for Local Food (TCLF). TCLF collaborates with organizations across Texas and the U.S. to develop local food enterprises that support Texas sustainable agriculture and job creation. Sue is a former farmer, past president of Texas Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association and was the start up project manager for Jeremiah Cunningham's World’s Best Eggs, sold throughout Texas and for Coyote Creek Organic Feed Mill, the first commercial certified organic feed mill in Texas.
