Rosa Maria Bertino Achille Mingozzi Emanuele Mingozzi
«I realised that the world is all joined together». This is how a five-year-old from Milan recounted her discovery, following a course on the environment at school. What more illuminating way to describe the interconnectedness that defines our times?
It is only now, as we come face-to-face with the lightning quick and devastating effects of our neglect of the planet, that we begin to grasp what we have tried to ignore for so long. The climate crisis and destruction of ecosystems affects us all. Because environmental disasters, scorching summers, desertification, disease and pandemics are on the rise. If everything is connected, then every decision we make counts. And so, products that embrace multiple values – from health to environmental and social considerations – are on the rise. Driven by the public health emergency, sales of organic products grew by 7% in 2020, as compared to 2019. And there's no going back.
According to Nielsen data, the first quarter of 2021 saw further growth of 0.9% on the same period in 2020.
The Bio Bank Trends 2021 confirm this move toward change, with a growing focus on waste and a preference for products that are plastic-free, local and organic, plantbased and fermented. There is growing demand for foods that boost the immune system, superfoods, ancient grains and heirloom varieties, foods rich in fibre and protein or gluten- and lactose-free. People are turning their backs on ultra-processed, sugary foods. Interest in biodynamic and ethical foods remains strong. With routine out the window, a new form of ritual is taking hold, to the benefit of niche foods. In the cosmetics world, the boom in sanitisers is now followed by a rise in dermopurifiers, multivitamin treatments and serums to help care for the skin. And also solid cosmetics and powder detergents, which contain no water and offer numerous benefits.
In a world faced with all the limitations of a global approach, demand for local and seasonal products is stronger than ever. Central to this trend is the short supply chain, which supports small producers and protects the environment. Demand for regional products is also growing, with organic produce reflecting regional specialities. Not only in food, but also in cosmetics. And, naturally, the rise of organic, made-in-Italy products continues, and is a driving force on foreign markets.
Vegan and vegetarian consumption is a well-established and broad-reaching category. The 33rd Eurispes report found that 5.8% of Italians are vegetarian, while 2.4% are vegan, making up 8.2% of the population in total. Another factor behind growing consumption is the increase in people adopting a flexible diet, paving the way for new vegan products. This demand is a catalyst for innovation and availability of plant-based foods and drinks, including catering.
Fermentation continues to play a key role, to nourish body and skin. Fermented foods aid digestion, promote gut health, strengthen the immune system and boost the metabolism. Cosmetics featuring fermented fruit, plants and herbs have a symbiotic relationship with the skin, moisturising and protecting it, strengthening its metabolism and improving its texture. Prebiotics and probiotics are also growing in popularity, both in food and cosmetics.
The pandemic effect reduces food waste. According to estimates contained in the Waste Watcher 2021 Report, Italian household waste fell from €6.60 to €4.90 per week over the last year. This consciousness is driving supply: shelves now feature imperfect-yet-perfectly-good organic vegetables, individual portion sizes are becoming more common in a bid to reduce waste, and cosmetics are coming in smaller packages so that they can be used up before they expire.
A ban on plastic in food packaging and micro-plastics in cosmetics and cleaning products. Content and containers must respond to the growing demand for sustainability: from recycled and recyclable to rechargeable, reusable, biodegradable and compostable. This is an increasingly decisive factor for consumers. Packaging is being reduced, and produced from plant-based materials. Micro-plastics are being replaced by natural alternatives.
Sales of products featuring statements such as "strengthens the immune system" and "supports immune defence" on their labels increased by 7.3% year-onyear in 2020, as revealed by Osservatorio Immagino report published by GS1 Italy, in the first edition of 2021. A testament to how shopping baskets have changed in Covid times, with increased demand for foods rich in minerals and vitamins that support our bodies' defences.
The pandemic saw daily routine go out the window: school, work, free time, social interaction. Right through to how we shop and our perception of food. This gave rise to new forms of ritual, including rediscovering the joy of home cooking and seeking gratification and relaxation. Like baking a super-fragrant loaf of bread, enjoying a square of raw dark chocolate, tasting a biodynamic wine or relaxing with a wholesome herbal tea.
Biodiversity – in terms of genetics, species and ecosystems – is key to variety of life on earth in its various forms, and is part of nature's capital, together with air, water and soil. Biodiversity loss means food and energy insecurity, more natural disasters and a decrease in social health. Each of us protects biodiversity when we choose a plant-based diet, local and seasonal products, and foods that re-embrace and promote ancient varieties and autochthonous species.
A decisive turn away from ultra-processed foods, the enemies of cardiovascular health, among other things. Now, consumers are embracing foods with fewer, simple, recognisable ingredients, processed using natural and innovative techniques, which respect the many nutritional properties of organic ingredients. Increasingly conscious consumers are seeking "clean" recipes, "gentle" processes and transparent information.
The use of ancient grain varieties in pasta, bread, pizza and baked goods has risen by 250% over the last twenty years across the world, and particularly in Italy, as confirmed by Firab, the Italian Foundation for Research in Organic and Biodynamic Agriculture. There are many reasons for this: they're Gmo-free, contain less gluten and have greater nutritional content, they protect biodiversity, promote a short supply chain and are stone-ground, making them less refined.
#Basic simple, essential
Superfoods continue to feature in a huge number of recipes: yoghurt with exotic fruits, specialities with nuts such as almonds and cashews, pasta and ovenbaked products with linseed and hemp, drinks featuring cereals like oats and quinoa, energy bars featuring berries such as cranberries and goji berries, spices like turmeric and ginger everywhere. Then the amazing seaweeds, microalgae and the highly versatile Jerusalem artichoke. Superfoods also abound in cosmetics.
Plant-based protein sources feature heavily in the "rich in" foods. Not only for those who follow a vegan diet, but also as a lifestyle choice: seaweeds, fruit, vegetables, seeds, cereals and pulses, with new varieties coming all the time. Meanwhile, fibre is always in high demand. Then other claims, in order of sales by value: vitamins, whole, calcium, lactic acid bacteria, Omega 3, iodine, iron, magnesium, potassium and zinc, as indicated by Osservatorio Immagino 2021.
Italy ranks highest in Europe for the percentage of school-age children who are overweight, at 20.4%. Of these, 9.4% are obese and 2.4% severely obese. The trend has been improving over the years, but is still alarming. And so it's thumbs down for added sugars, while natural and alternative sweeteners are on the rise. But the list of "free from" food options remains a long one: free from gluten, lactose, soy, egg, salt, yeast, peanuts, palm oil and more.
In high demand on international markets, and increasingly valued in Italy, biodynamic products are the pinnacle of the organic world. Now that many conventional companies have branched out into organic, numerous organic operators are shifting to biodynamic as a mark of higher quality. The Associazione per l’Agricoltura Biodinamica estimates 4,500 biodynamic operators in Italy. But only 550 companies have achieved the prestigious Demeter certification.
Consumers are increasingly conscious of the values embodied by the overall history of a product. Respect for the environment is necessary, but no longer enough. Respect for people is also required, represented by social and economic justice. This means fair earnings and dignified work, adherence to fair trade principles, inclusion through social farming, standing up against the mafia and opportunities for redemption through prison work programmes.
The obsession with hygiene arising from the coronavirus emergency, with a boom in sales of personal and home sanitiser products, has evolved into demand for dermopurifiers. Hand hygiene continues, with a preference for natural, non-aggressive products. But the focus is now on the face, given the increase in skin problems arising from prolonged use of masks, referred to by dermatologists as maskne, that is mask acne.
Demand is growing for hydrating, antiageing, illuminating, exfoliating and tightening face serums. Because they are fluid, light and absorb quickly. Because they have a higher concentration of active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, vitamins, antioxidants and amino acids, and are effective in protecting skin and reducing wrinkles and fine lines. Because they are water-based rather than oilbased, making them better suited to oily skin. Excellent combined with creams.
No plastic on the outside, no water on the inside, easier to preserve, longer life, more concentrated, anti-waste thanks to better quantity dosing, and handy not only at home, but also on the go. Introducing the new solid cosmetics, good for the skin and the environment, with natural and organic ingredients and a specific pH for each part of the body. Not standard soaps, but compact products for the face, body and hair, in recyclable packaging, such as cardboard and aluminium.
Introducing a new generation of multivitamin creams and serums. Designed to truly care for skin, they offer a range of beneficial effects, helping to maintain skin tone and elasticity, preserve the lipid barrier, protect against damage caused by exposure to the sun and prevent premature ageing, as well as performing moisturising, antioxidant and seboregulating action. Vitamins give skin a rested appearance and have a clarifying and illuminating effect.
Organic and biodegradable powder detergents, for laundry, dishes and more, are true friends of the environment, our skin and our pockets. Formulated using ingredients of plant-based and mineral origin, they are more concentrated and effective, without optical brighteners. They do not contain water, eliminating the need for preservatives. They are easy to dose, preventing waste. Finally, they are lighter and take up less space, thus reducing transport and pollution.
Organic stories are always fascinating. Each one is unique. But their motivations feature common patterns: the call of nature, a desire to make the most of one's native land, a draw towards ethical work, a challenge transformed into an opportunity by embracing innovation.
For Sebastiano Tundo, the challenge was replacing sugar beet in crop rotations on over 100 hectares of family land. Quinoa offered the answer. And this is how an Italian, organic quinoa supply chain emerged in the Ferrara area, among the Argenta valleys. For Luciano Internicola, meanwhile, it was moving from support services and public funds to the free market, producing organic foods with the Etica social cooperative. They are based in the Trapani area, the perfect place to grow aromatic herbs, rendered unique by a truly innovative process.
For Nicoletta Maffini, her commitment to leading the Conapi cooperative near
Bologna – the largest organic honey supplier in Europe – saw her getting personally involved in beekeeping. A way of tuning in to the overall picture, both of a beehive and of a major business that has always valued biodiversity. Valentina Avantaggiato from Pralina, in the province of Lecce was driven by a desire to promote her local area. And so the Salentino baby food line that introduces young palates to natural flavours was born. A passion for nature and Sardinia are inextricable driving forces for Enrica Picucci Rolando of Le Erbe di Janas. Her phytotherapeutic cosmetics draw on the excellence of their cultivated and wild ingredients. For Gianmaria Carpi of Almacabio, pioneer in eco-organic cleaning products based in Bolzano, the challenge lies in maintaining a high bar in terms of research and quality, offering concrete solutions to a market that is constantly and rapidly evolving.
I gave up a career as a lawyer to pursue an exciting dual project: to promote our local area and help young people in difficult and marginalised situations. The idea of growing organic aromatic herbs arose with our social cooperative, with a view to moving from support services with public funds to food farming on the free market. But we needed an exceptional product. We found our answer in an innovative process: slow, cold drying with ionisation at extremely low temperatures. Our oregano, mint, sage, thyme and rosemary thus encapsulate all the intense fragrance, vivid colour and characteristic flavours of freshly harvested Sicilian aromatic herbs.
Aromathica – aromathica.it Etica soc. coop. sociale – Vita (TP)
When I joined Conapi in 2013, I did not yet know much about this field, which proved fascinating. So much so that I took on my first beehive, tuning in to the complexity of this world. Indeed, for a beekeeper, the creature is not the individual bee, but the entire hive. This is also true of the Conapi cooperative, the largest producer of organic honey in Europe, with its Italian supply chain: 600 member beekeepers, 110,000 hives –50% organic – and 5 billion bees. They are the key players in the pollination of fruit and vegetables, and the sentinels of biodiversity. Bee health is inextricably linked to the health of the ecosystem and climate. And this is why being cultivators of biodiversity has become imperative, now more than ever.
Mielizia – mielizia.com Conapi sca – Monterenzio (BO)
Luciano Internicola Nicoletta Maffini Chairman of Etica General manager of ConapiWork as an engineer was not for me. And so I returned to my love of farming, the seeds of which were sown in the fields that I used to follow my uncle around as a child. The idea of quinoa was born out of necessity, while seeking an alternative to sugar beet for crop rotations. And it became a challenge: breathing life into an Italian, organic quinoa production chain. Cultivated in South America, this pseudocereal has evolved over the past decade from a food of the poor into a super-popular superfood, inflating prices and resulting in exploitation of the workforce and the land. Growing it in Italy is therefore also an ethical move. And so we developed the Quin line, which includes quinoa grains, puffed quinoa, flour, pasta and crackers.
Pralina was founded in 1991 by a group of young people, largely women, to promote the flavours of Salento, transporting them beyond local borders. In just a few short years it outgrew the artisanal laboratory of its roots to become a state-of-the-art production business, specialising in producing sauces, ready-made condiments and plant-based purées, using Italian and Salento ingredients and organic and biodiverse produce. The latest is the Il Piccolo Bio organic baby food line, developed for children from one year old. The fruit, pulse and vegetable purées are enriched with the flavours of Mediterranean aromatic herbs, and are salt-free, to truly introduce natural flavour in its various forms.

The call of nature, the allure of herbs, a love of my land, herbal and naturopathic studies: these were the elements that let me to found Le Erbe di Janas in 2009. Because nature has all the answers. We seek them every day in our laboratory – specialised in organic and vegan cosmetics – using medicinal plants, vegetables and fruit grown on our biodynamic farm, as well as wild plants and fruit. We prioritise Sardinian herbs and those native to the Mediterranean, as well as Indian herbs used in ayurvedic medicine. And as well as finished products, we offer a range of carefully chosen ingredients for those who wish to customise their treatments, or produce them from scratch.

Made from organic cherry tomatoes grown on the volcanic slopes of Vesuvius, this conserve stands out for its intense aroma, balance of sweetness and acidity, and because it is packed full of firm tomato flesh. The traditional method of slow ripening the cherry tomatoes in a large bunch (a 'piennolo') lets them dry gradually, for a more intense flavour and aroma. A delicacy of Campania food culture, awarded Dop status.

What is set out in the European regulations, which are constantly being updated to keep pace with the ongoing evolution of the sector? And how to recognise an organic product from the label.
by Rosa Maria BertinoThe pioneers of organic farming in Europe, beginning in the early 1970s, were fuelled by a great ideological drive, but had no regulatory guarantees. It took twenty years for organic products to be regulated at a European level. Legislation was only introduced in 1991 with European Regulation 2092. This was replaced in 2007 with Regulation 834, which came into force two years later, setting out specific rules for the production, control and labelling of organic products. A regulatory framework that is constantly being updated. And indeed a new regulation, no. 848/2018, due to come into force on 1 January 2022, has already been approved. Not to mention the extensive body of Italian national legislation, including legislative decree 20/2018.
There are 18 active control bodies in Italy, plus two solely dedicated to the Bolzano province. They are recognised by the Ministry of Agricultural Policies, based on the criteria of independence, impartiality, effectiveness, competency and reliability. Accreditation in accordance with the ISO 17065 technical standard, on the other hand, is entrusted to Accredia, who over-
sees their work, monitoring their performance over time. There are also a number of private specifications, overseen by national associations and issued to companies that satisfy more restrictive criteria than those provided for in the regulations. These include Demeter, which identifies biodynamically grown products.
Consumers can identify whether a food is organic by checking the label, i.e. the product's identity card. The first thing to check for on the label is the Euroleaf, the European organic mark. Mandatory since 1 July 2010, it consists of twelve white stars on a bright green background, with a comet in the centre. To use the Euroleaf, organic products must:
• contain at least 95% organic ingredients
• comply with the control and certification system rules
• specify whether or not the product was grown/reared within the Eu
• indicate the code of the operator who carried out the most recent production or preparation
• specify the code of the control body.
Naturally, the specific information required for organic products is in addition to the mandatory information for all food products.
Aside from hunting and fishing products, water, salt, certain additives, vitamins and mineral salts, all agriculture, livestock and acquaculture products (including those obtained through foraging) can be certified, if they comply with organic regulations. These are based on respect for the fertility of the soil, the plants, the animals and the ecosystem that they form together, without the use of GMOs, fertilisers, weed killers, pesticides and synthetic veterinary drugs.
In order to read labels properly, it is important to know the various categories of products provided for by the European regulation:
•
Euroleaf mandatory products consisting 100% of exclusively organic ingredients of agricultural origin (e.g. apples or pulses).
The term "organic" appears in the product sales description and list of ingredients, if provided.
•
Euroleaf mandatory organic ingredients make up at least 95% of the weight of the ingredients of agricultural origin (e.g. vegetable sauce).
The term "organic" appears in the product sales description and list of ingredients. Any non-organic ingredients of agricultural origin must be among those listed in annex IX of Reg. EC 889/08 or temporarily authorised by the Member State.
•
• hunting or fishing products with organic ingredients
Euroleaf not permitted the main ingredient is a hunting or fishing product and as such it cannot be certified as organic. All other ingredients of farming origin must, however, be organic (e.g. tuna in extra virgin olive oil).
The term "organic" can appear in the sales description, but only with reference to the organic ingredients (such as the oil in the above example).
•
Euroleaf not permitted products made up of a single plant-based ingredient grown according to an organic method for at least twelve months.
The term "in conversion to organic farming" can appear in the product sales description.
When the European organic logo appears, the place of farming of agricultural raw materials also appears, formulated as follows:
• Eu Agriculture, where the agricultural raw material has been farmed in the European Union;
• non-Eu Agriculture, where the agricultural raw material has been farmed outside the European Union;

Long available in health food and herbal stores, and historically popular via e-commerce, natural and organic cosmetics are experiencing a significant growth. Sold through organic perfumeries, the numbers of which are growing year on year, they're also increasingly available in hypermarkets and supermarkets, discount stores, specialist beauty and personal care chains and in the perfumery section of pharmacies. In the absence of European regulations, it is very difficult for consumers to differentiate between pseudo-natural products, with small amounts of organic ingredients, and truly organic products. Herein lies the importance and role of voluntary certification, based on private or international standards, certified by accredited control bodies. While they may involve very different specifications, they represent the current benchmark.
According to the Bio Bank 2020 census, over 550 companies have taken this challenging step towards transparency, obtaining certification for over 12,300 natural or organic cosmetics products and over 750 eco-friendly cleaning products. There are seven Italian control bodies with their own cosmetics standards, who also perform certification in accordance with other private Italian or international standards, such as Cosmos and Natrue. Five of these also
oversee eco-friendly cleaning products. There are other cosmetics industry standards that are applied in other European countries, some of which are also internationally recognised. The only European certification system for eco-friendly cleaning products, meanwhile, is Ecolabel, which focuses on the environmental impact of products, as Nordic Swan, the official Scandinavian certification system.
The guidelines contained in the various specifications can be simplified to offer the following definitions:
• natural cosmetics contains ingredients of plant-based, animal and/or mineral origin, not harmful to health
• organic cosmetics contains a variable percentage (which can be specified on the label) of certified organic ingredients of plant-based and/or animal origin
• eco-friendly cleaning products contains ingredients of plant-based and/or mineral origin that are effective and safe for humans and the environment, and organic ingredients.
The very welcome result is that conventional producers have been encouraged to move towards formulas that are free from unpleasant ingredients. Labels are proudly declaring these missing ingredients, resulting in cosmetics that are not yet organic, but increasingly "green".
Opting for private and voluntary certification remains the best strategy to distinguish your products and provide clarity to an increasingly attentive public.
