Many recent trends have converged to drive large growth and opportunity in the organic foods business. This trend has accelerated when combined with the drive for "local content", an issue that has arisen due to rising fuel costs and concerns about the size of the "carbon footprint" created when shipping foods long distances.

The term " Organic" refers to how agricultural products— food and fiber—are grown and processed. Organic foods are foods grown without the use of persistent pesticides and fertilizers, genetic engineering, cloning, or irradiation.

U.S. sales of organic food and beverages grew from $1 billion in 1990 to an estimated $20 billion in 2007.  This represents about 2.8 percent of overall food and beverage sales.  Organic food has been a very fast growing sector, growing 20.9 percent during 2006 alone. Organically grown and produced ingredients can also be found in such non-food items as personal care products, apparel, textiles, toys, supplements, and pet foods. Organic non-food sales grew 26 percent in 2006. Total U.S. organic sales, including food and nonfood products, were $17.7 billion in 2006, up 21 percent from 2005.
