Healthy Farming & How Russia Is Expanding It

By Rob Sutter


There seems to be more of a trend occurring as far as organic healthy farming is concerned and it has reached far greater regions than the United States. In fact, word just broke that Russia was about to create a certification progress as far as these natural products is concerned. To me, this is astounding because it means that more people are going to be able to make use of the products which aren't riddled with synthetics. This is one market that I'm happy to see grow.

Healthy farming, in terms of the organic sense, involves food that isn't riddled with synthetic fertilizers or growth. In essence, what is supplied by nature is all that the farmers can make use of. This goes for just about any kind of field, whether it has to deal with the actual growth of crops or the cleansing processes which accompany them. People understand that these items of produce are better for you overall and it's why more attention is given to networks like Colle Farmers Market.

The article I had read on the Russia Beyond the Headlines website detailed this story in a much greater sense. It talked about how people belonging to Moscow and St. Petersburg would be willing to shell out more money for the sake of a more organic market. I think that this is excellent because it's clear that people want to eat healthier and they have a strong desire for a source. Healthy matters are being seen and I am in full support of the change.

The article went into detail about opinion polls which were done between the residents of the areas in Russia before. What was found was that 60 percent of residents would have no problem shelling out more money for products if they were grown in a more economically sustainable environment. Let's say that you buy a package of strawberries from a big supermarket, for example. These people would probably pay twice that price to receive berries grown in areas which can be best deemed organic.

What if this trend reaches other regions of the world and does not cease at Russia? I think that it would be excellent for everyone involved because of the cleaner products that they would be able to attain. The crops will have the same nutrients, of course, but knowing that they are cultivated by natural means only dictates that they are going to be better in the long run. My only hope is that this becomes a trend in which the results are seen sooner, not so much later.
