ORGANIC systems recognise that our health is directly connected to the health of the food we eat and, ultimately, the health of the soil. Organic farming relies heavily on developing a healthy fertile soil and growing a mixture of crops. The use of genetically modified crops is strictly prohibited. Also, animals are reared without the routine use of drugs commonly used in intensive farming. For us, organic farming is about working as nature intended. Better for you and the environment. www.soilassociation.org

The goals of FAIRTRADE are to improve the livelihoods and well being of farmers in the developing world by paying a better and fairer price for their product, improving a market access, strengthening the producers organisations and promoting development opportunities for disadvantaged farmers. It's really about trade not aid. www.fairtrade.org.uk
