4. #Organics: An international food market, with Beate Huber by Food for Europe published on 2021-03-24T14:50:19Z In the past decade, the demand for organic food has grown exponentially in the EU.

In the fourth episode of the Food for Europe mini-series on organics, Beate Huber, President of the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture Europe (FiBL Europe), discusses how the EU ensures that imported organic products meet the EU’s organic criteria and what challenges the EU faces when exporting its own organic products.
