Wal-Marting Organics

A FOOD CHAIN RELEASE FROM METROFARM.COM

Wal-Mart recently announced it will greatly expand its offering of organic foods, and will price organic only slightly higher than conventional.

This leads some to ask, “Will Wal-Mart wal-mart organics?”

This Saturday at 9AM Pacific, the Food Chain with Michael Olson hosts Sam Fromartz, author of Organic, Inc., and Ronnie Cummins, Founder of the Organic Consumers Association, for a conversation about Wal-Mart’s entry into the organic foods industry. (Note: Wal-Mart declined to participate.)

Topics include the short history of organic food; the industrialization of the organic industry; and why some warn that Wal-Mart’s entry into the organic industry could lead to the demise of organic standards.
