How popular is organic food in you country?
I think the popularity of organic food really depends on the social class. People from ceratin social circles as well as people with higher education tend to think more about the enviroment and the cons of non-organic food. However nowadays the possibilities of buying organic food are higher than they used to be, and organic products are more available and affordable. I think organic food is slowly taking a stable position in our country.
Do you think people should be encouraged to eat organic food?
I think there are more than one reason for eating organically. There is the ethic and enviromental aspect. The food is more expensive, but that is hopefully the cost of the production, which is being realized according to fundamental principles of human rights. The enviromental reason is obvious - chemically made pesticides aren´t good for the land, and it´s important to do at least the bare minimum for the enviroment, especially nowadays.
