    So…I’m not sure how many regions are in Spain, but it sure seems like they have every region covered here in this magazine. I’ve heard of SOOO many regions in Spain that are promoting organic agriculture, it would be interesting to see specifically HOW they are doing this promotion. Subsidies I wonder?
