Due to the augmenting worries about health, the environment, and animal welfare, consumers prefer organically produced food and are ready to pay the price premiums set by the market which is pushing up the organic seed market in various parts of the world.
Organic products have gone from being a lifestyle choice for a tiny percentage of customers to being consumed at least periodically by the vast majority of consumers worldwide posing a positive impact on the sales of organic seed.
Health-conscious consumers prefer organic over conventional products due to the rising worries about overly artificial chemicals, processed meals, and the impact of pesticides, antibiotics, and hormones.
Organic seed is becoming more popular as the demand for organic products develops. Farmers are looking for organic seed to help fund organic plant breeding efforts. It's widely known that organic systems provide distinct growing environments than conventional systems. Also, breeding crops under organic settings can result in varieties that help organic farmers succeed while still preserving the organic integrity of the goods.
When viewed as an alternative to the dominant seed system, an organic seed system can help address larger issues in agriculture, such as the preservation of agriculture biodiversity and crop genetic diversity; seed privatization and market consolidation; agricultural production fueled by toxic high-input chemical systems; etc.
