The global Green Food market was valued at USD 428.35 Billion in 2022 and growing at a CAGR of 7.45% from 2023 to 2032. The market is expected to reach USD 878.75 Billion by 2032. This market is growing as green food needs a high-level decrease in chemical inputs such as pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, veterinary drugs and additives to ensure the product's safety and the environment. Consumers are becoming more aware of the nutritional quality of their food. Hence, the world's regulatory agencies must pace up with the development of fast and sensitive detection techniques and the generation of fact-based data, which help establish tolerance criteria for the safety levels of chemical toxicity of the food. The production of green food preserves the resources and offers quality produce by protecting the environment based on sustainability. Green food development increases productivity using the integrated water, pest and nutrient management method, which conserves biodiversity and improves nutrient levels, drought risk and hydrological functionality. These factors are eventually driving the growth of the Green Food market.

Market Introduction:

Green foods are safe, uncontaminated, nutritious, and of high quality in nature. Protecting agroecosystems produces them and improves the quality of agricultural products and processed food for the sustainable development of the economy and society. Green food products increased swiftly all across the world since the 1990s. Green food consists of raw and processed food, including livestock, crops, and aquatic products. The per capita income of the people is growing along with the awareness about healthy and safe food in emerging economies, leading to the growing number of people preferring to buy green foods. Based on one of the studies, Russia, Brazil, China, India, and South Africa are some of the large emerging economies with around 70% of the global population, which account for a large share of food production and consumption. The nature of sustainable food consumption by consumers is affecting the food market. Green food is crucial for feeding the world's ever-growing population and ensuring food security and the environment using social ethics, economic conditions and sustainable development. It has been observed that the demand for food will grow by around 60% to feed the added two billion people of the world, with a decrease in water supply by 40% in 2050. It is becoming a big challenge for the sustainability of humanity. Green food technologies help decrease the pressure on the environment as this food is produced based on sustainable practices, which help decrease the earnings gap between urban and rural residents by offering around 10% to 50% price incentives and decreasing the input costs by boosting their economic conditions. Green food can solve many problems related to food security worldwide. Green food innovations have been observed to have millions of hectares of land green food certified, which is further growing. The improvement of green food production will help improve small farms' economies and enhance the farmland's quality.
