Eosta has been advocating for education around Organic fruit & vegetable consumption for years! This year at the Eurovision songfestival the band Citi Zēni made it to the semi finals with their song "Eat your salad" - raising awareness for eco friendly living and a vegan diet, which includes more organic produce!
Organic agriculture is based on the ideal of sustainability; it wants to farm in a way that can be maintained for generations.
There is ample scientific proof that organic farming can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and is a more resilient approach in a changing climate. The improved water holding capacity of organic soils makes it easier to deal with wet and dry intervals. Organic farmers can even have a positive climate impact, by sequestring carbon in their soils.
Salads are an easy way to increase your daily organic vegetable intake. Such as this delicious pearl couscous salad with pumpkin, dates and yoghurt-mintdip. You can find the recipe here!
The overseas grape season starts in mid-December, but planning begins now. Demand for organic grapes remains strong and our growers need early visibility on the volumes they can reserve for fixed programmes. By aligning programmes in advance, we can secure organic volumes more effectively and are also in a stronger position to offer competitive pricing.
Along the Orange River in South Africa’s Northern Cape lies Carpe Diem, a long-standing and trusted partner for our organic grapes. Owner Gog van der Colff took over the family business in 2000 and made the deliberate decision to switch to organic farming in 2006. What began as a step that not everyone was initially convinced by has developed into a progressive organic farm producing grapes, pecans and raisins.
El Niño is clearly affecting the South American mango season this year. Higher temperatures and unusual rainfall patterns are disrupting flowering, making availability and harvest timing less predictable.
