Quotes from Sante Group staff about this project
- “We have a passion for Chia, we know the farmers very well. With it’s growth popularity, there has been an increase of Organic fraud in the chia market. During our time in South America, we’ve learned it isn’t what you know, it’s who you know.”
- “This project involved us making in-person visits to the farm and the supplier, just the way we like to do business.”
