Organic food stores are a novelty if we are to consider the evolution of food production over the years. In the first decades of the 20th century there was a boom in the development of chemical substances that could increase the efficiency of crops, making land more fertile and eliminating the risks of plant and animal disease as well as the threat of insects. It seemed like in the new conditions hunger should no longer be a problem. Well, a century after the beginning of modern farming, agriculture aims at redefining itself by getting back to the natural all over again.

Plant crops on the other hand are overstimulated, and the vegetables and fruits are incredibly beautiful, swollen with water but very little tasty. Was this the dream of fertility that the pioneers of modern farming dreamed of? Or was it just a pursuit of 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 now stands in opposition with non-organic crops that serve for mass consume.

Claiming that organic food stores have a high preponderance on the market would be false. Organic food comes for a higher price, it is not that easy to get and not everyone knows enough 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. It may happen that in ten years from now the standards of producing organic food may get lower because of this higher market demand. A decline in quality could easily follow given the extent to which mankind has developed demographically.

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 is still a necessity that has to be tolerated or put up with. Most people tend to buy food from both non-organic and organic food stores in parallel. And a fair 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.
