Its rise is unprecedented. But the problem is not solved. Regulators determine what food goes into school lunches, for example. The definition of "organic" has been set by the government -- with the significant influence of the food industry. That leaves us with some food that would not have fit the definition of organic a decade ago, now on sale as organic. And some locally grown food that would have been included in the definition of organic a decade ago, no longer does. The food system is immense and complicated. And the biggest factor in modern organics is regulation, not economics. The demand for organic is there and growing. Its rise is unprecedented. But the problem is not solved.
