I looked up one website on <a HREF="http://www.indiainfoline.com/sect/suin/ch05.html" rel="nofollow">processing</A> and it seemed to be about pressing to get the juice and using a centerfuge to extract, which all seems pretty natural. There is organic sugar out there, so it must be possible! I don’t know much about it either.

Is it possible to process it (as opposed to grow it) organically? <a HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_beet" rel="nofollow"> Sugar Beet</A> I don’t know very much about sugar beet but the processing of it does seem to involve tons of energy and the use of chemicals.

The various agencies are full of suggestions about getting out of sugar beet and growing rape for energy, but can't they see the technology is there and organics is a huge growth market?

There has to be a market for beet sugar in my humble opinion as I've always far preferred it to cane sugar. If it's more expensive to produce, then it has to be positioned differently in the market. The organic angle is a way to do that and kill a lot of birds with one stone. Great suggestion Keiran.
