Organic food is more and more an important player in the sustainable consumption, a fact demonstrated both by its constantly expanding market and the development of the sector policies. From fashion phenomenon, it has increasingly positioned itself as an object of purchase and consumption for increasingly conscious consumers, careful at protecting both the environment, health and individual well-being. CREA, the Italian Council for Research in Agriculture and Agrarian Economy Analysis, with its center of Policies and Bio-economy, has undertaken an analysis of the policies designed to promote environmental, social and economic sustainability of food consumption, focusing on the organic sector by outlining some possible strategies to increase the demand of products that promote the sustainability of the food system. CREA considerations have been included in a volume now available online, (in Italian): Il consumo sostenibile dalla teoria alla pratica. Il caso dei prodotti biologici - Sustainable consumption from theory to practice. The case of organic products.
