Avocados are labelled with the European Union's logo for organic food on February 15, 2012 at the BioFach trade fair for organic products in Nuremberg, southern Germany. Food products classified as organic in the European Union or the United States can be sold as such in either region after a deal between the two major trading blocs. The agreement, signed in the southern city of Nuremberg between top officials from both sides, seeks to boost trade in the fast-growing organic food industry, valued at more than $50 billion (38 billion euros) combined.

On the line to explain is Chuck Benbrook who co-authored the study.
