The global market share of organic food rose to $40 billion in 2007, up from $13 billion nine years earlier despite the growing competition from genetically modified (GM) foods. The increase in the demand for organic food presents anti-GM crusaders with ammunition to downplay the need to popularize GM food to tackle chronic food shortages.
