Why ethical apps will dominate like organic food

By: Minds

Here is the original post:
Why ethical apps will dominate like organic food - Video

What stood out in this Fast Company magazine article (http://tiny.cc/) were the survey statistics:

-- 70% of those surveyed said they buy some organic food but only 20% thought they knew what organic means.

-- 59% expressed concern about GMOs but only 32% could define GMO.

Now, granted, the sample size was small. BFG, the agency that conducted the study, interviewed 300 shoppers, most of them younger than 35.

But does anyone really doubt the survey? Maybe not the precise numbers, but the direction, seems right. Other studies have sounded a similar note: Everyone eats but few know much about food (http://tiny.cc/).

That's hardly a shocking notion. There's a lot to know about a lot of things in this bewildering world; no one can master more than the smallest part of it all. If we're honest with ourselves, most of us would admit that we've bought a product or voted for a candidate or judged an acquaintance based on sketchy information -- even no information.

Which raises a question: When we lack the necessary information, what substitutes for facts? Opinions, for one thing. People may not know what organic food is but they "know" it's good for them. They may not know what a GMO is but they "know" GMOs are bad.

Which raises another question, one that preoccupies marketers, politicians, public-relations people and psychologists: Where do our opinions come from? What makes us embrace one view and reject another?

Whole books have been written on this, but a simple way to think about it is to imagine yourself in a wine store. Even if you're an oenophile, chances are you won't know much about many of the bottles. How do you decide what to buy?

One way is to trust the wine merchant. He spends his whole day dealing in wine; if he recommends a particular Cabernet, he must know something about it. He's an authority.

Organicology conference returns to Portland

January 2, 2015 - Organic grain traders, buyers and processors are paying top dollar for corn, soybeans and many other grains and expect this trend to continue.

Depending on test weight and the shipping period, we expect to pay $12 to $14.50 per bushel for organic corn in 2015, says Rita Felder, Owner and CEO of Field Farms Marketing near Petrolia, Ontario.

Tom Manley, President of Homestead Organics near Cornwall, Ontario and Dan Bewersdorff, Organic Grain Program Director of Herbrucks of Saranac, Michigan will be offering similar prices. (Although Herbrucks is based in western Michigan they source from Ontario as well as Michigan, Illinois, Ohio and Indiana.)

Even with organic yields being lower than conventional, Tom estimates that for 100 acres of organic corn, farmers could increase their profit by $700 to $1360 per acre versus conventional.

And its not just corn. I need a lot more of everything, says Tom. Growing niche products such as hops, millet or hemp isnt necessary. There are very strong markets for soybeans, corn, wheat, barley and oats, he adds. All three buyers expect organic soybean prices to be in the range of $29 to $34 per bushel.

In my 17 years in organic, the prices have never been so high. Theyre 2 to 3 times that of conventional, says Tom. Its very lucrative, he adds.

Demand for organic grains is being driven by consumer demand for organic food in a wide variety of categories. As the largest organic egg producer in the United States with over 1 million chickens, Herbrucks sees this trend first hand. The demand for organic eggs is growing so then the demand for organic grain grows too, says Dan. What we can offer growers is a good, solid, established market, he adds.

With strong demand and prices two to three times that of conventional, why arent farmers lining up to convert?

Its a big step and requires people to change how they have been farming for the last two generations, say Dan.

Rita notes that, many conventional farmers have also taken on jobs off the farm. Their plates are already quite full without adding the learning curve of converting to organic.
