'Selling Organic: What's the story?' Organic Conference

^{As the organic industry continues to grow, this conference is being launched in partnership with Organic Farmers & Growers to highlight the need for companies and organisations in the sector to work together to educate consumers on the key messages and benefits of organic food - something many feel organics have failed to do so far, resulting in consumers being confused as to why they should buy organic over other ethical choices such as fair-trade and free-range.}
