    I find amazing the support that such organizations receive to investigate and promote the activity and information about organic farming and products since they are the best thing we can have in these days so we should choose them when buying and contribute to the cause in this way.

    It is really encouraging to hear that subsidies and financial aid is going to farmers who grow organically, which typically is more sustainable because of the lack of chemical pesticides and herbicides.

    Great stuff!

    Wow, this is really amazing, especially considering that in the United States (where I currently live) junk food and processed foods are the sectors that receive the most government subsidies. I think this has to do with the fact that just a few huge, major companies own the majority of all processed foods (kellogs, etc.) and these people also have their hands in political pockets as well. The whole thing is bought out.
