Organic fruit and vegetables – necessity or luxury

The production of organic fruit and vegetables is becoming more and more popular in the world. People are talking about these new trends, but many of the consumers are still reluctant to regularly purchase organic food. The main problem is price, since organic fruit and vegetables could be up to ten times more expensive than the regular food. This is based on a fact that it costs more to produce food in natural way, without any pesticides and artificial fertilizers. Therefore, the future research in organic food will be in the direction of cost reduction. Where can we reduce the costs of organic food? We could choose the plants that are resistant to pests and they do not require fertilizers. We should learn to eat food that is not beautiful, but it is very healthy. We should change our habits when picking fruit and vegetables and we will see that the economic trends will change. Maybe the organic food is too expensive because there is not enough demand or not enough producers on the market. When there are many producers of food, then there is more competition. We could expect that organic food will decrease price in the future and it will not be a luxurious item any more.
