Angove Organic gear up for Australia’s Organic Awareness Month with a new report and awards

Angove Organic has released a new deep-dive report into organics in preparation for September’s Australian Organic Awareness Month.

Released by Angove Organic, The Future of Organic Report dives deep into the organics industry, exploring consumer shopping habits, ethical purchasing behaviours, consumer perceptions around health, organic wine growth and trends, and more.

The challenges of 2020 – from bushfires and floods in Australia to the global pandemic – have changed our way of life irrevocably.

From uncertainty comes a need for more control and, in response, consumers are increasingly valuing their health and seek out brands they can trust.

Report findings driving the growth of organics include:

Consumers are well-informed and savvy with their shopping habits;
Cultural and environmental awareness means consumers are being more ethical when it comes to shopping;
Organic certification marks now have strong influence over organic purchasing decisions;
There is now an understanding that environmentally friendly practices and organic farming results in benefits for land, wildlife and people; and
Consumers are motivated by chemical-free lifestyles to improve their health, this includes a reduction in toxic products and chemical-free food.
