It is pretty much a viral thing!

 

So, why do people love organic this much and buy organic products? Recently Compare the Market AU conducted a survey called Organic Food: Is it worth it? which reached out to three thousand people in the USA, UK and Australia to explore why or why they do not buy organic foods.

 

From the survey results, the data showed that the main reason people bought organic was due to health, then came for the environment, for better taste, animal welfare and concern for farm workers. Between the USA, UK and Australia, 33% people in the USA said for health reason, 27% in Australia and 18% in the UK. The main reasons people were not buying organic was simply down to high costs.
