| Organic farming and organic foods have become the latest buzzwords today. More and more people are becoming aware of the advantages of organic foods and a majority is converting to buying organic foods. The truth of the matter is that eating healthy by converting to organically produced foods is just one reason for the shift in the preference. Though it is good to consume foods that are free of pesticides and other chemicals, the major reason why the consumers are starting to buy the organic foods is the image that is associated with it. The image of a product that is pure and natural. A product that is unadulterated. These consumers want to believe that they are going back in time to when things used to be free of any contamination and at the same time be seen as indulging in a Utopian future. The imagery that is associated with organic farming is different from reality. The communications associated with organic food brands is one of a family farmer that has been cultivating the land for ages. Additionally, it is seen as futuristic and something that will conserve the earth. However, the reality is far from it. Both these ideas about organic farming do not depict the truth. |
