VANCOUVER - Mar 1/01 - STAT -- Organic farming is growing more and more popularity in Europe as time passes.
The BSE scare in France caused beef sales to fall by 40% last year even though only 270 cases were discovered. This has caused the sales or organic meat, food, and vegetables to rise 25% over the last couple of years.
