Two organic associations are hosting and promoting National Organic Week (NOW) in Australia from October 1 – 10. According to researcher IBIS World, organic is one of the fastest growth industries in Australia. NOW, whose theme is “Be Organic: Taste the Difference, Feel the Difference, Make a Difference,” was created to publicize the benefits of organic products and farming production systems and to promote organic principles among the general population. Organic products encompass more than food in Australia: they include cosmetics, skin care, health care, baby products, textiles and fashion, beer, wine and champagne, furniture and building materials. Associated industries such as organic recycling and composting are also experiencing growth. Promoters of NOW are the Centre for Organic & Resource Enterprises and Biological Farmers of Australia.
