Plenty of organic news out there at the moment, including yet more research to suggest that organic food is better for you than other food....discussion on this research to follow soon....
However, I came accross an interesting perspective on the Soil Association's decision to move towards fair trade for their certified organic air freight produce. (there's more going on there too, in relation to heated glasshouses and the overall caron footprint of the produce
Has the organic sector been hyjacked by greens? Is this one of the ugly faces of protectionism, as the FT suggests? Or is it a socio-ecological synergy, a win-win situation to help consumers whilst improving the planet?
