Local vs. Organic<br />
The battle for popularity between local and organic food has been raging for some time now. However, it<br />
seems as if local focus is winning over organic food.<br />
This is despite the fact that locally produced food isn’t necessarily better for the environment or the producer.<br />
Among the respondents 55 percent that say locally produced ingredients are going to be the main trend in<br />
the coming years, the same figure for organic food is 25 percent.<br />
Lately more and more fair trade products are made available in our local grocery stores. This might be a<br />
trend on the rise among consumers but the restaurant business doesn’t seem to be picking up on the good<br />
cause. Only 2.6 percent of the respondents consider fair trade production to be a major trend in the coming<br />
two years.<br />
Local Garden<br />
Chef Sang-Hoon Degeimbre (L’air du Temps, Belgium) also puts focus on vegetables, having his own production<br />
of vegetables in a local garden. The garden is being kept and cared for by one of his team members<br />
and the daily yield dictates much of what is being served during the day.<br />
