[QUOTE="Grass And Grain, post: 8820403, member: 23184"] Have I understood this correctly? The Soil Association, many of their members who probably rely on livestock within their organic farming systems, are backing a motion to reduce farm livestock in this country? Surely that's bonkers! This isn't going to have any effect on consumer demand, so does this mean we'd just end up importing more? And if that's the case, then what's the point in reducing livestock here (in the name of climate change), if it means more livestock kept in other countries to fulfill our demand? Positive that Soil Association are happy to rethink their policy on this one. In regards to thoughts to help the Soil Association.... 1. Grasslands run at about 10% soil organic matter. Veg growing soils struggle for 2%. Go figure. 2. Vote with feet and move over to Organic Farmers and Growers. It's a strange view point from SA. I really can't think why they would have thought this policy was a good idea [/QUOTE]
