Frédéric Denhez : « Plus le marché bio va se développer, plus, statistiquement, il y aura de fraudes »

L’assiette en tête. Ingénieur écologue de formation et spécialiste des questions d’environnement, d’agriculture et d’alimentation, Frédéric Denhez a sillonné la France et enquêté auprès des producteurs et consommateurs. Dans son livre Acheter bio ?

Il évoque également l’enjeu de la « banalisation » du bio, alors que des agriculteurs bio ont lancé, mercredi 29 mai, une pétition pour dénoncer l’« industrialisation » de leur filière.
