Future looks healthy The Polish sector of ecological foods is going out of the niche relatively fast. It builds the confidence of wide consumer groups. The process is driven by the growing ecological awareness among consumers and the predominance of healthy lifestyles. A significant contribution in this respect has been made by the Polska Ekologia through

promotional events and campaigns orchestrated by the organization. In addition, the Ministry of Agriculture has laid the ground for the development of ecological agriculture as farmers are educated to relay on their knowledge of nature instead of chemical substances. Further development of ecological agriculture is limited by the relatively low purchasing power of the Polish consumer. Even those consumers who respect ecological products sometimes have no choice but to buy conventional food because they can not afford ecological. Regardless of those limits, Polish eco-food producers have reached the critical mass which lets them eye

European markets for expansion. With clean soil, and the highest biodiversity indicators in the EU, and excellent culinary traditions, Polish farmers may win many hearts of European foodies. ::
