This year Australian Organic will continue to provide people with support and information to help them understand that organic products are better for our health and wellbeing, organic farming is so much better for the environment, organic standards
demand high levels of animal welfare, synthetic fertilisers and
chemicals are harmful and buying GM free is important.
Hoosick Falls residents came to the Capitol on Wednesday to
demand hearings on the water crisis that has revealed
high levels of a toxic
chemical in many people's blood streams.
The rapidly accumulating evidence
of soil depletion over wide agricultural areas, the reduction in crop yields on improperly fertilized or unfertilized areas and on others, the reduction
of fertility
levels to the point where fertilizer applications represent the minimum subsistence diet, combined with an aroused public consciousness
of the importance
of soil fertility conservation and restoration, will inevitably lead to a
demand that the
chemical industry provide here the same
high order
of service which it offers elsewhere in meeting man's aspirations for more abundance and greater efficiency.
