Good initiative! I?m glad to hear that Spain is going so well related to organic farming and production, since the world needs a break of everything that?s happening, we kill animals and trees without realizing that there are many bad consequences, and we should teach that too
Excellent program. We would like to join you in your efforts to bring more organic products to consumers. Our organization focuses in bringing these products to kosher consumers and beyond. We would like to assist Spanish companies certifying their products Kosher and in the exportation to the USA markets. Please visit our website

You know…here in the US we definitely need more events like this. I always read about initiatives to promote organic produce abroad, but there is so very little (outside of farmer’s markets) as far as organic awareness goes. I live in a small town here in Alaska, and I am so fortunate that a lot of people (myself included) grow our own produce. We have a very aware group of people here.
