Organic farming has been shown to provide
major benefits for wildlife and the wider
environment. The best that can be said about
genetically engineered crops is that they
will now be monitored to see how much damage
they cause.

It
is vitally important that we can continue to say, with absolute conviction, that
organic farming delivers the highest quality, best-tasting food, produced without
artificial chemicals or genetic modification, and with respect for animal welfare
and the environment, while helping to maintain the landscape and rural communities.

While the demand for organic food outstrips supply, we happen to know
that 77 percent of consumers don't want genetically engineered crops grown in
this country. Consumers can choose whether or not to buy organic produce. Genetically
modified ingredients will deny us choice in the long run.

It
is now 14 years since I first suggested that organic farming might have some benefits
and ought to be taken seriously. I shall never forget the vehemence of the reaction..
much of it coming from the sort of people who regard agriculture as an industrial
process, with production as the sole yardstick of success.

Fast food may appear to be cheap food and, in the literal sense it often is, but
that is because huge social and environmental costs are being excluded from the
calculations. Any analysis of the real cost would have to look at such things
as the rise in food-borne illnesses, the advent of new pathogens, such as E.coli
0157, antibiotic resistance from the overuse of drugs in animal feed, extensive
water pollution from intensive agricultural systems and many other factors. These
costs are not reflected in the price of fast food.

Personally, I have been very impressed by the slow food movement. It is about
celebrating the culture of food, of sharing the extraordinary knowledge, developed
over millennia, of the traditions involved with quality food production, of the
sheer joy and pleasure of consuming food together. Especially within the context
of family life, this has to be one of the highest forms of cultural activity.

All
I'm saying is that there is a price to be paid at the sharp end.. environmentally
and everywhere else.. for the food that is produced in a particular way.

is only the farmer who faithfully plants seeds in the Spring, who reaps a harvest

Many organic practices simply make sense, regardless of what overall agricultural
system is used. Far from being a quaint throwback to an earlier time, organic
agriculture is proving to be a serious contender in modern farming and a more
environmentally sustainable system over the long term.

With
the advent of industrial farming and the green revolution, organic farming was
relegated to the status of "quaint" or "old-fashioned".. something
practiced by hippies on communes, certainly not by serious farmers.
