Four Soil Association trustees quit over organic strategy
Posted: at 8:52 pm
Four trustees of the Soil Association have resigned from its council board with a stinging blast over how the organisation is run.
Campaigning food journalist Joanna Blythman, food writer Lynda Brown, author and former editor of The Ecologist Pat Thomas and organic baker, author and founder of the UKs Real Bread Campaign Andrew Whitley stood down after criticising the associations approach to promoting organic food and farming.
The four singled out the Soil Associations strategy, Road to 2020, and its effect on the associations profile as the main reason for their resignation.
They saidthe strategys implementation wasas a major factor in the demise of organic awareness and general confusion around what the association stands for, and what it does.

The four ex-trustees highlighted seven areas of criticism, which they believe the strategy is promoting:
The four accused the Soil Association of avoiding the use of the word organic in preference to nature-friendly and planet-friendly substitutes.
They claimed the association, which has 17 trustees on its council board, had shifted its focus to position itself as a public health delivery organisation rather than the UKs main organic food and farming organisation.
They said the organisation was suffering from a PR void at senior management level and had lost its authoritative voice.
The Soil Association is no longer the go-to place for media on food and farming matters and lacks political clout on national farming matters, said the former trustees, in a blog.

Snchez: Profits, people and the environment
Posted: at 10:49 pm
THE world is indeed getting organic. Consumers are supporting the movement from their pockets. The recent 9th Negros Island Organic Farmers Festival is the proof of the pudding in the eating of organically-produced food.
The NIOFF, with the theme One Negros, One Green Economy, has gathered 216 exhibitors compared to 2013 where only 156 joined. The five-day event grossed P3.18 million. Last year, the organic farming festival earned P2.556 million.
Ramon Uy Jr., president of Organik na Negros! Organic Producers and Retailers Association (Onopra), said that after the reported P3.18 million earnings, more people are still coming to buy their products even during its official last day on November 23, 2014.
As vice president of Onopra, allow me to express our collective thanks to the organic food producers and processors, upland farmers, indigenous peoples, cooperatives, local government units, non-government organizations, and peoples organizations who took part in the 9th NIOFF.
I took part in the preparations for the event. My task was to invite resource persons from the UNs Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the Mountain Partnership.
In behalf of the NIOFF organizers, let me express our collective thanks to the Rome-based MP Secretariat colleagues Rosa Laura, Romeo Thomas Hofer, Sara Manuelli, and Antonella Sorrentino. Also to FAOs Dr. Eulito Bautista who dropped other prior commitments to be with us in Bacolod for the NIOFF. Let us have more of this cooperation in developing the Negrense green, especially its mountain, economy.
Likewise, I express our collective thanks to the Non-Timber Forest Product-Exchange Programme Philippines. Drs. Ramon Razal and Erwin Diloy, and to anthropologist Mara Teresa Miks de Guia-Padilla for sharing with us your expertise.
The 9th NIOFF showed that Negros Islands emerging economy can make profits, people and the environment come together, not necessarily in opposition to one another. Negrenses can face the Asean Economic Community when we become a link to the regional economic integration in 2015.
We will face it building the green economy. As the FAO noted, global temperatures rise and weather patterns become more erratic, the intersection between climate change and agriculture is crucial to understanding the role agriculture plays in contributing to and mitigating global warming.
Carbon sequestration, lower-input of fossil fuel dependent resources, and use of renewable energy all present opportunities for organic agriculture to lead the way in reducing energy consumption and mitigating the negative effects of energy emissions.
