That's the view of managing director, Kialla Pure Foods, Quentin Kennedy.

He says that not only are conventional farmers using more traditional inputs, but that they are finding these inputs increasingly more expensive.

"Today, there are better margins in organics," Mr Kennedy said.

He said the use of more and more chemicals and high analysis fertilisers in conventional farming systems result in 'out-of-balance' soils.

Mr Kennedy was commenting in the aftermath of a talk by noted industry identity, Dr Maarten Stapper, who gave a detailed insight into the importance of managing soil health with respect to the production of healthy food.

"While he is a scientist he’s also able to explain to people why soils respond to good management practices," Mr Kennedy said.

"It is always good to mix some science with what (organic) producers are doing out in their paddocks."

Research by Kialla Pure Foods suggests that new growers don't switch to growing organic crops purely for financial reward.

"There's got to be a bit of philosophy in there, a bit of 'hey, why am I getting sick every time I use a chemical?'" Mr Kennedy said.

An added attraction of growing organic crops centres on a greater element of social responsibility, plus a belief they can enhance the sustainability of land put over to chemical-free growing practices.

Kialla Pure Foods continues to build a reputation as a leading cereal grain processor that is 100pc dedicated to organic food production.

Each year it takes in a wide range of grains – both winter and summer crop grains - unlike some other organic flour mills.

Mr Kennedy says Australia’s organics industry continues to gain momentum, as evidenced by a recently published Biological Farmers of Australia market report.
