Awakening domestic consumption

Although consumption in our country remains an unresolved, CAERM technical director says that "society is becoming increasingly sensitized to the consumption of organic food and this is something that we are seeing in sales," said, at the same time notes that "organic food is undoubtedly the most beneficial for our health, as well as friendlier to the environment."
