The Agence bio reports on organic production in the world and on the organic consumption in France

On March 19, 2021, Agence bio presented the first results of the 18th barometer on the consumption of organic products in France in 2020, during the Covid-19 period. In addition, Agence bio has also published 2 reports on organic production, the first on agricultural production around the world and the second on organic animal production in France.

Agence bio has planned to organize a new webinar “Eating organic for the planet: how will environmental labeling guide consumers’ choice?” this Friday April 16 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

To find out more, you can consult:
