Mutating supermarket organic food

New denomination of two categories of foods

European organic food has mutated to mass production under the EU regulation 2092/91 and 1804/1999.

The European Commission in their “ European Action Plan for Organic Food and Farming” states:
“For consumers buying organic produce in supermarkets, environmental considerations are thought to be less important, compared to consumers buying produce in specialised organic shops. “

The European organic food regulation clearly demonstrates its commitment to mass production and the supermarkets as distribution channel.
This increases monoculture, wide fields, long transport ways, and air freight.
Two different groups of foods are therefore on the market and need proper labeling:


Nature food (En), Naturkost (D): Nature food is produced according to rules of certifying corporations which follow the principles of Rudolf Steiner or other holistic ways of farming. These Foods are sold by the producer itself at its farm, at weekly markets or at nature shops. There competent informations are given concerning the origin of the food. The consumer understands that the higher price of nature products is due to diversification of crops at the farm, a species-appropriate animal raising, and environment conservation.

Organic Food (En), (Biokost D): Organic food is produced according to the EU 2092/91 and 1804/1999 regulation. The consumer expects food produced without agrarian chemicals, like herbicides or pesticides. He expects better taste compared with conventional foods. He looks after low priced products. He is concerned with the welfare of his person and does not care about environment. He is not interested to know the food miles and airfreight of the items he buys. Organic food is primarily sold by supermarket chains.

Is it imperative to have both food groups clearly separated?
Your opinion is welcome.
