2. Non-genetically modified foods (GMO Foods) are products whose organisms’DNA
hasn’t been altered using genetic engineering techniques. Organic foods, on the other
hand, are products that are grown and processed without usingsynthetic chemicals or
genetic modification.
The organic and non-genetically modified organisms (non-GMO) food industry is
experiencing robust growth. Notably, the market is growing due to consumers showing a
preference for healthy and sustainable diet options, which is how many consumers see
the two food categories.

3. In 2021,the global organic and non-GMO market was valued at $623.96billion,and
experts predict that it will be worth $1.23 trillion by 2028,with a 10.20 percent
compound annual growth rate (CAGR). Among the factors driving this growth are the
concepts of consumer awareness, “clean label foods,” and “Non-GMO Project Verified.”
Consumer awareness is all about consumers increasingly becoming aware of the
benefits organic and non-GMO foods present. Organic and GMO foods are also
considered clean label foods. Clean label foods are those with few, recognizable
ingredients and are free from components consumers may not want such as artificial
colors, flavors, and preservatives.

4. Non-GMO Project Verified is a nonprofit organization that verifies non-GMO and organic
products. The organization has developed a system that places the “Non-GMO Project
Verified" label on products that have undergone a rigorous verification process to ensure
they are free from genetically modified ingredients.
