All Things Organic™ 2008: Meeting Increased Demand with Integrity: Sourcing organic locally, domestically, and internationally

Meeting Increased Demand with Integrity: Sourcing organic locally, domestically, and internationally

As an organic company, you’re concerned with responsible sourcing of ingredients and products. Whether you’re shopping around the corner or around the globe, sourcing with integrity is more important now than ever before. Playing by the rules, meeting demand and being true to the values of the organic consumer can sometimes be a challenge, but it doesn’t need to be an obstacle in the path of your growing business. The discussion will cover concerns ranging from social responsibility, fair trade practices, and food safety to conversion and transition projects.
