Home > News > Abundant EarthThe organic industry is continuing to experience a long and extensive growth spurt, with organic sales increasing by over $5 billion a year internationally. In Australia organics are growing at an average rate of approximately 20% per annum, holding tight to international trends that rate organic as the world's fastest growing food and beverage category. Those seeking information on the industry attended the Brisbane Organic Roadshow recently; providing attendees an opportunity to discuss, network and observe all things organic. Participants viewed trade displays and learnt from the experience of long-term industry members as well as outsourced experts. Notable speakers included Edward C. McGawley (Nematologist / Professor, Louisiana State University), and Dr Maarten Stapper (former CSIRO principle research scientist, soil health and organic farm systems researcher) addressing soil health and organic farming. Health Brands Australia's very own Amanda Blennerhassett (Brand Manager for Abundant Earth) was also there discussing green marketing, branding and the best means of organic message delivery. The event was hosted by Brisbane-based Biological Farmers of Australia (BFA) in conjunction with organic grain milling company Z Mills.
