The terms “organic” and “clean,” for example, have a new, heightened relevance with consumers in a post-COVID-19 environment with their hyper-focus on strengthening immune systems and preparing bodies for any potential interaction with the virus.

And, going by what most recent studies have to say about it, switching to organic foods is the healthy choice today. Most people who buy organic do it because they want to eat healthier.

As a result, a fundamental transformation to adopt circular economy systems globally is needed now more than ever as the future survival of humans hangs in the balance.
