		<description><![CDATA[Consumers are concerned about what they eat and what they feed their children, but household budgets don’t always allow for paying a premium – whether it’s on branded or organic foods. After several difficult years during the recession, more consumers are paying extra to buy organic. In total, the industry is now valued at more than $28.6 billion.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The locally grown food movement is expected to reach a value of $7 billion this year. The figure includes sale of produce made directly to consumers as well as to supermarkets and restaurants. Some local growers link the market’s rise to consumers understanding where their food comes from but others say it’s all about smart marketing and there’s more of that to come.]]></description>

The model has been established in over 100 U.S. cities and towns to date and new marketing initiatives are playing a key role in raising awareness of these efforts.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Complaints about the way food and beverages are  promoted to kids are so common these days, it’s almost surprising to come across a positive report on this topic.

		<description><![CDATA[Whether it's fruits, vegetables or meats, more consumers want to buy locally produced food if they can find it. You might call it the Michael Pollan (In Defense of Food) effect.  Or the locavore (eat local) craze might be building as a result of the continuous reports of food-borne illnesses. Either way, marketing that connects food products to their local origins is a growing trend.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Long before boxes of cereal or cookies land on the shelves at the local grocery store, manufacturers have spent significant sums on trade promotion management.
