National Organic Week aims to continue to raise consumer awareness of organic food, how to recognise it when shopping and where to buy it. Activities this year include a new outdoor and print advertising campaign supported by radio advertising on key national and local radio stations and week long radio competitions. Organic recipes will be distributed to food writers and regional newspapers nationwide. Also, media interviews will be set up with a range of organic producers.
