The organic food industry is pushing for a growth agenda on Capitol Hill as it aims to reach 100 billion dollars in sales. However, several systemic barriers are currently hindering this progress.
According to FoodNavigator Europe, key challenges include a lack of sufficient infrastructure for the production, processing, and transport of organic goods. The sector is also facing increased competition from alternative sustainability labels, such as regenerative agriculture.
Industry leaders are also addressing concerns regarding the integrity and perceived value of organic certifications to ensure the sector remains competitive in a crowded market.
